for a new Windsor Castle wallhanging – this time with a view from the Long Walk. I try, as much as possible, to use pre-loved fabrics and the background for this project is entering its 3rd lease of life. It started out as an Irish linen bedsheet and as it became threadbare was used as an ironing board cover. For its last journey I have torn it to size and it’s now ready to paint.
So onto my next project…..
Having to overcome a fear of drawing I resort to my fail-safe method to get me started – a photograph, PhotoShop and tracing paper. It works well for me and no one need ever know!!
a potential sale. It’s all well and good designing and creating this Windsor Castle wallhanging but working out how to wrap it ready to go to its new home is also important. I think the best way is to lay it flat, face side up, place a roll of scrunched paper on top, bring the ends up and secure with paper clips. Last of all pop it into a paper carrier.
and time to set up in Craft Coop Windsor. After a bit of juggling my area is starting to take shape. It’s quite tricky to get the display just right and show everything off to its best advantage but I think I’m almost there!
The last job before setting up in Craft Coop Windsor is to bag up my felted soaps. The natural, fragrance-free vegetable soaps are wrapped in wool that shrinks along with the soap inside.
I thought I’d take a picture of the reverse side of my wallhanging. An interesting perspective although I’m not sure I’ll follow the idea through!!!
