Sarah Appleton - Textile Artist Blog

Allo Guvner! I haven't forgotten about my little blog! I've just been very very busy hunting wabbits aaaaand catching up on school work / applying for uni. Today I finished one of my final pieces so I thought I'd share: Oh, Diana!

I am sure that I have much more to tell, but it escapes me at the moment so here is a picture of our Bert relaxing at Bournemouth beach. Camembert Also, the lovely tattooed sailor bag sold just before christmas! This guy: This guy right here Never to be repeated again!

Hey sportsfans, This weekend I have been working on thingys for our stall at Rumble In The Jumble. First I made bunting: Which I was particularly proud of! I used scraps of various fabrics, bias tape and felt lettering. I more or less just followed this tutorial I found on Folksy. Secondly, a ladyburg coaster / hanging thingy: Lady Chris De Burg (This was mostly my sister's handiwork and I finished it off with the fancyness around the edge) Thirdly a tattooed handbag: Don't tie me down If you have eagle eyes, or just really good human eyes, you might be able to see that the strap is a neck tie! This is a bag that says 'don't mess with me', but also has pretty birds and flowers for when you are visiting your mum. Fourthly, a bunch of knitted/crocheted badges: Badgers Fifthly, my latest invention; BubbleBombs! Handsome monkey models BubbleBombs are speech bubbles suitable for photobombing, excitifying photos of your pets or posters...
