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, which are 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.
