Sweat Shoppe Swap Round 22 (signups closed) (send by March 1)

[athenamat]

I made these 4.5" x 6" journals using a variety of interesting pages, including plain pages, colored pages, scrapbook patterned pages, magazine pages, and pages from children's books.  They are handbound and have fabric covers.  Their small size makes them great for popping in your purse for notes, or maybe using as an art journal with the interesting papers as inspiration.  I will ask my partners their top choices on fabrics and hope to honor them.


Left to right: Strawberries, Painted Ladies, Pink Kimono


Kitties, Domestic Diva, Green Flannel

Here's a peek at one of the children's book pages and a view of the spread to show you the range of interesting papers:

Okay, I'm ready (almost!). First, I will be offering five of these crocheted flower and vine necklaces. My husband is out this evening, so I finally appreciate how difficult it is to take pictures of oneself!


Then I'm offering 5 recycled tshirt flatwear rolls, per instructions from the Generation T: Beyond Fashion book by Megan Nicolay. They are just a second away from being done; I need to sew a ribbon to the back so they can be tied closed.
If this had the ribbon, it'd be tied closed!
Now unrolled:
Opened up (you can see the tops of the flatwear I put in for an example:

These will be in different colors, since I am using recycled tshirts.

Everyone has awesome stuff.  Here is a picture of the beaded flower pendants.  Sorry the picture isnt clear.  The flash kept reflecting off the beads and without it they were not clear but you will get the idea. 

Here are 3 of the colors I have so far.  I also have green done.  I will be making pink, red, brown, and purple.

The scrub and bowls look great!

I added to my offering.  I am still doing the totes, which I will post a pic of very soon (they look very similar to sajona's but in different fabric. )  Plus I am now offering mushroom pincushions.  There are so many things this round that I would love to have, I had to up my offering.    Here is an example:


They will probably this shape and the flatter topped shaped mushroom.  I will post a pic once I am finished with them all.
