Driftwood and Seaglass Mobile

Sarah

Good Evening everyone…. well the crafty marathon continues 🙂    I have spent the last 2 hours wrapping copper wire around seaglass and boy do my fingers hurt lol

I made this Driftwood and Seaglass Mobile to hang outside my shed.. I was inspired to make one after seeing a picture on Pinterest.. I think it will look lovely when the sun shines on it this spring / summer..

I have a stash of seaglass.. and this is perfect to use it up!  although I do need to go out to the beach hunting for more blue pieces 😉

Supplies :-

  • Driftwood
  • Seaglass
  • Copper Wire
  • Screws with Eyes (sorry I dont know the technical name for them 😉 )

Thanks for looking in 🙂

Two posts in one day 🙂

I made another couple of handbound / handmade books up in my shed this afternoon, to finish off my WOC DT project for this week..

I did record a video for it once they were made, and once I uploaded it realised it had no sound… so deleted it and will re-record another one this evening.

Here is the first of the two books.. a lovely pink fabric book… my daughter bought this fabric for me for christmas, it was part of a fat quarter bundle and I loved this piece..

Have a Wonderful Easter…..

Sarah

Just a wee note to wish everyone that follows, reads and pops in to pay a visit to my blog  a very Happy Easter.

Remember the eggs I decorated a few weeks back? ..

Take a Kilner Jar,  some branches from your garden (i tried to get pussy willow, but its all gone here now) , some pretty ribbon and a few decorated styrofoam eggs et voila 🙂

Easter Everywhere {poem}

Rabbits soft and cuddly
Baby chickens, too.
Easter eggs for baskets
White and pink and blue.
Easter cards of greeting,
Music in the air,
Lilies just to tell us
It’s Easter everywhere.

Have a wonderful time with your families today.
