Bull's-eye-bag

Sunday I took the time (that I should have used for more important things) and made a completely (un)necessary bag!

A bit of brain jogging to find out how to put in the window without making the complete lining from plastik.

To compensate that you can't hide any secrets inside :-) I added a cover that can be closed by pulling the two stings tight.

I think it's a funny bag, but to be honest: I don't really have use for it!

A bientôt,

Autumn leave printing

I tried a printing technique with leaves that I found on pinterest. You are using fresh leaves and painting them from the back with felt pens in different colors. This is so much less messy than printing with water colors! Still you get colored fingertips so when putting the leave with the color side down on a paper, it is best to cover the leave with a scrap paper so when pressing the leave onto the paper, you are not leaving traces with your dirty fingers.

The results are stunning and I loved doing the printing! 

I did some post cards (there are some autumn birthdays ahead),...

... a page marker,

... a note block for shopping lists that is already with a friend of mine,

... and I decorated a notebook.

I also did this printing technique with the kids in my crafting classes. They did really nice works too. I like to show them crafting that they can do also alone at home, not needing lots of special equipment.

A bientôt,
