... it's best to go along with it! I went to Hobbycraft on Sunday afternoon for some purple ribbon and had a look round while I was there, as you do, and found myself in the bead aisle. They've got some new stuff in and I fell in love with a gunmetal oval set with black stones and with a keyhole cut-out in the middle. I found a set of key charms in the same gunmetal colour and bought the lot (along with some other stuff :0/). When I got home I got out my beading foundation (curtain blackout lining) and all my red and black beads, drew a heart shape on the foundation material and sat down to bead. Two days later and here is the finished result:
I think I'm gonna be really corny and call it 'The Key to My Heart'. I did have a mad idea to actually have the keyhole as a keyhole but chickened out when it got to the ultrasuede backing so that is what you can see through the hole. I kinda like it like that. :0)
I'm hoping that inspiration will strike again soon but, in the meantime, I'll go back to finishing off some of the other half-done projects that are awaiting me - including the one that I needed the purple ribbon for! :0D
That's not fair my hobbycraft never has nice stuff like that but it is only a small one. You shouldn't be scared to cut the holes out, just take your time and use a very sharp craft knife and you'll be fine x
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was part of the problem. My craft knife has vanished. Can't remember the last time I saw it! Might try it with an easier shape to cut out first.
ReplyDeleteOh that is absolutely gorgeous, Donna - I love gunmetal.
