Journaling Inspiration with Snippet Packs

 I have had an obsession with Snippets lately,

almost OCD. Rounding up all the supplies,

 Laces, Fabrics, Embellishments and start to 

play with placement and colour it is difficult

 to stop at one. It can be a way of adding 

stitches, sequins, ribbon embroidery, 

buttons, beading, and, naturally, laces.

Many of us have a stash, of all the odds 

and ends that are just not enough 

 to use in a full project but with snippets 

strips, clusters etc. they can all add up to

something beautiful. It is not necessary to 

be into Journaling to make use of the strips,

 I will be adding posts at a later date to 

offer some ideas of other purposes. 

For the time being here is a little eye candy. 

Another version more applicable for Clusters

Body and Texture from layering all types fabrics - 

organza, nets, lace pieces, bridal laces,

Doily pieces and flowers. Buttons, charms, beads.

Build the layers on a narrow piece of poplin, or soft fabric.

Machine stitch the first layer down to hold in place,

then adding gathered clusters of organza or chiffon.

Pieces of Lace. Run another layer of stitching over this.

Final layer is the embellishments, easier to hand-stitch.

them into position. 

Maybe I have inspired you to rustle up some supplies 

from your stash, and begin your own. All you need to start

 is a soft cotton base and small pieces of fabric.

For those who have already discovered snippets, I am 

sure you acknowledge the dilemma; really, the days are

 just not long enough.
