Dreamcatcher and Machine Embroidery

 Probably all of you heared about art-piaskownica - a wonderful challenge blog.

From time to time I participated in some challenges.. but I had no idea that ladies writing this blog would ever pick me for a guest designer! I was so happy when I got the information.. and a little bit stressed because I had no idea what topic to make..

For a long time now I was dreaming about a big dreamcatcher handing above my bed..

I couldn't buy the 'perfect' one so I thought.. well.. why not make a challenge where I could make a dreamcatcher myself?! And with Anita's help we decided to make a t-shirt recycling edition which you can find here!

The main ring is made of an old cardboard and an old yellow stretchy t-shirt. The lower part is also made of t-shirts and some other stuff like curtains, parts of metal jewellery etc. etc.

As you can also see I had no feathers.. and a dreamcatcher without feathers is not a dreamcatcher, right?! SO I painted one colorful feather and attached it to this weird construction ;d yesterday my A. brought me some real ones from the countryside.. can't wait to add them to this recycled work! Do you like how it looks above my bed?

A while ago I tried to make an embroidery.. but I'm not really good at it.. I'm very impatient.. so I tried to make it by using my sewing machine and a new embroidery foot! As you can see it looks very simple, but I like how it came out finally :)

It has 3 tiny buttons and some yellow leather pieces.. like I said.. nothing complicated but I really like how it looks on my wall.. :)

Oh and see these lovely prints with birds? Beautiful, aren't they? They are printed on fabric.. I bought them from a great shop here! Can't wait to make something out of them!

Have a nice day! I have to study -again- but this time for a test from french! ;o
