Sheep are not Male.....however...........

I still keep using this image for Male cards. I just like it, and don't think it's particularly girly...though would work as well of course. I think sunflowers are also a nice butch manly man flower too. At least that's what I'm hoping the 16yr old recipient of this card will think lol. 

This is to celebrate the Baptism of the son of a friend. Congratulations Joseph. 

The image is of course by the wonderful Mo Manning Coloured with good old Promarkers, the flowers and cute little bumbles are picked out with sakura glaze pens. 

My Flowers are from an arrangement I  dismantled - is that upcycling or re-cycling I'm never quite sure lol  

I'm entering this into the challenge over at Crafty Sentiments  

which this time is to make a card/project for a Male 

Jewelry challenge and DT

First of all, I've had some good news this week, as I've been invited to join the DT over at Beading Friends Forever. Of course I was delighted to say yes as I've been following the challenges since they began in January, and have learned so many new jewelry techniques in that time. 

The new June Challenge over at Beading Friends Forever is as always a two part challenge. A tutorial to follow and make a 4 wrap macrame and bead bracelet. This was fun to make, and very easy even if you've never tried macrame or beading before. You can find the tutorial on the Challenge blog here 

Below is my first make, it's a very versatile pattern, 

so it's great to know that three entries are allowed. 

The second part of the challenge is to make a multi-strand project...three entries are allowed in this section also, and this is my first. 

                                                   

The winner is drawn randomly and gets £15 to spend at
