The Old Art Room: vintage display

Wednesday, 19 February 2014

Carol and I are making many of these fabric flowers ready for

Norfolk Open Studios in May.

These are made out of recycled net curtains, crochet doilies and ear rings.

This pattern was also made for the centre of the large 'Folded Frill Wall Display'

I enjoyed making this Red Roses Wreath to celebrate Valentine's Day.

I recycled roses from previous displays and felt quite naughty

de- heading them from their stems!

See more of the wreaths I am making each month HERE

and see my work based on "My Grand Mother's Name Is Rose",

With all the vintage and antique lace around The Old Art Room,

it inspired me to use a beautiful crepe blouse that had arrived

in one of the recycle bags of fabric that had been delivered to the

studio. The Crepe was so soft and lovely to handle and use.

The pink fabric was trimmed from another blouse many years ago and

saved because 'it may come in'.
