Jewellery, clothes, quilts, sculpture, painting, pencil cases, toys, furniture, stationary or even a cupcake!
Your only limited by your own imagination.
Send me pics of your finished works, no matter how great or small, by the end of January and we'll have a bloggy exhibition of all the fantastic craft submitted.
I can't wait to see what wonderful things are created this month.
excited! I will be cheating a wee bit with this one as I have just completed a Japanese piece ;)
ReplyDeleteI desperately need a creative kickstart for the New Year and I think this might be just the ticket! Can I play - pretty please (with sugar on top)?
ReplyDeletePs - love the regeneration of dress to top - tres chic! I agree nanna bra straps are naff - am always looking for ways to hide them!
Great Idea. I'll give it a go.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I found some lino with an oriental cherry blossom design....perfect!
Do you have a blog button? I want to play along and show you off heehe
ReplyDeleteSo excited! And it'll be very refreshing to make something thoroughly different to the project I'm currently researching.
ReplyDeleteNo idea what I'm going to make though.
P.S. This is Mrs Beckinsale not logged in properly.
YAY. I've had a project in mind (that would fit the theme), bought the books to help me do it etc, just haven't got around to it. Maybe this is the motivation I need!
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, now just have to think of a design.
ReplyDeletei've had this piece of japanese style fabric in my stash for ages. wasn't sure what to do with it, but now i've had an idea :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
Mmm... it's funny, but this theme is really going to make me think - make me come up with something new, as that is what my whole crafty business is about... Japanese influenced design... this is going to push me to finishing something new from my sketchbook.
