Jennie's Drawer's

Hi there crafter's 

Here we are again with the wet and dull weather,

Oh when will it end ?

Today I am sharing a set of drawers I 

designed quite a while ago now.

I was just playing around and this is what I came up with.

Again rather basic as I look back at it now, 

but that's how we advance our techniques 

by learning a bit at a time.

If I made this again I would  use a shaped die for the base and top.

It would add more interest and allow more for 

extra matt and layering.

For the drawer handles I would use a large bead sewn on

and maybe add more layers to the sides, 

so that it doesn,t  look quite as plain as it does now.

Sometimes its a good idea to leave a project

for a while, and go back to it with fresh eyes

 although I have to admit two years

may be a little too long ! lol

I,m willing to learn from my mistakes , 

it helps when I make so many !lol.

The character on the side is Jennie 

from Jayne Nestorenko's

 Patchwork Polly range of stamps .

I have matted her on to a spellbinder die and faux matt.

I think I now need to make an updated version of this

and maybe make up some templates.

Watch this space !

until tomorrow
