Summer Studio Tour: 1


Today I'm joining Heather, at Beauty That Moves, with a summer studio post. The idea is to share some glimpses of your creative time throughout the week. Sometimes I need a bit of spurring on, to make sure I fit in some creative time, so this seemed just the ticket. This picture is one of the vintage silk scarves I'll be turning into eye pillow covers. The first step is washing them with my homemade liquid soap, and letting them line dry.





A batch of lavender soap, ready to transfer to a drying rack.


Some ivory silk with designs sketched out in glue. When dry, they'll be painted, then sewn into eye pillows.


Some patchouli soap, just poured into the mold.

How about you? What creative endeavors have you been up to this week? Join in, and share a glimpse with us each Friday.

Silk Lovelies

It's a rainy, gray day here. A good day to be indoors creating.
I'm inspired today to create more eye pillows. These silk scarves, all thrifted, are going to become my next eye pillows. They all seem to have a Valentine or spring theme. I love the little hearts on the scarf on the left. At last count, the Craft Hope site has sold over 1000 items, and raised over $20,000 for Haiti. I feel humbled to be a part of such an awesome group of crafters.
