Celtic, Viking and Anglo Saxon Embroidery Book

We are very excited to have copies of this book on our shelves. This is not a how-to book, full of patterns, instructions and diagrams.

It is a book of inspiration. It lets you dream. It is full of beautiful photographs that show in great detail a body of work inspired by Celtic, Viking and Anglo Saxon Embroidery.

This book is Jan Messent’s imagination let loose within a framework of her vast knowledge of embroidery and textile art of this period. She uses techniques that are completely modern and materials that were not available until very recently. However, she references the past in terms of her designs and the story of each piece. Each of her embroidered, painted, textile pieces takes the reader right back in time.

She uses Bayeux stitch in ways that I hadn’t considered and creates some gorgeous effects simply by using a thread I’d never considered. One of her pieces is a sampler of Bayeux stitch and I am now really interested in trying some of the techniques she has used. Although she doesn’t always give detailed instruction, she does write enough that an embroiderer with some knowledge and skill could easily reproduce what she’s done in their own fashion.

This is a book for inspiration. It is a book to linger over and let your imagination take flight, to get lost in, to dream over. If you want a “how – to”  book this isn’t the one for you. If, however, you want to feed your creative spirit then this book is exactly what you should put on that wish list…

The Chilly Dog: Origami Crane

Origami Crane

It doesn't matter if you are 8 or 80. There is something absolutely magical about origami. It amazes me that you can take a flat piece of paper, fold it a couple times and a three-dimensional object appears. I'm not an origami master, but I can make a couple of things, and I'm pretty good at following origami instructions.

My new favorite creation is the crane. I think I was inspired to try the crane when I found the treasury of miniatures that I posted for Fun Find Friday in late December. Not only do cranes look cool, legend has it that a person who makes 1000 cranes will have their wish granted. .... Read more

The Chilly Dog: Origami Crane Jewelry Set

Origami Crane Jewelry Set

What is more magical than transforming a piece of paper into a three-dimensional object? Try transforming a tiny piece of paper into a miniature three-dimensional object. I wasn't convinced that this as even possible until I gave it a try. The result? A unique and charming set of origami crane earrings and a necklace.

Before you tackle this project, make sure you are comfortable constructing a basic origami crane. I'll warn you now that this project is not for the faint of heart or those with shaky fingers or poor eyesight. It takes a steady hand and a bit of patience. But once you make one of these adorable little birds you will want a whole flock.

Repurpose old jewelry for some pretty stitch markers

Stitch Marker Tutorial at Miss P Blog

"I've been delving into the joys of knit and crochet in the past few weeks. A lot of the patterns I was looking at called for stitch markers. When I looked at the offerings in my local hobbycraft and haberdashery? Well they were just a bit blaaaaah. Just as with yarn, fabric, and everything else; using something a bit nice when "making" just makes the whole process that bit more pleasurable, don't you think? So I decided to make my own by repurposing some old jewelry and a bit of wire...." Read more
