International Women's Day Special: Let The Antimacassar Begin!

Image
Fluffy, fluffy... fluffy chair of velvet Happy International Women's Day to all the ladies reading this... and the men too I guess, because why not! Share the lady love! I finished this a ntimacassar (which I keep wanting to type as antimassacre) on Sunday, just in time for International Women's Day! Not because I meant to, because I was, and then I realised, and then I was all like 'oh!', but let's pretend I did. It's embroidered with two colours of floss blended together (turquoise and grey) and umm it's kind of wonky and charming and... umm... oh! This is a close up That was a close up. That might be all I have to say about this, apart from that I love it, I loved making it and I'm proud of it (even its wobbly bits). That's feminism for you! This antimacassar was finished with the help of Pressure Drop at Sixty Million Postcards and Karen of Make It, Save It, Mend It! fame (thank you for the new Big Word)!

This is our friend Helen's website Recycled With Love ! We spied her stall at a gig and noticed her striking eyeballs. Not the ones in her head, silly! These ones: Eyeballs modelled by 'Lucky' James McGuinness. She also makes clothes from vintage fabric, cards and other bits, zoweeee!
