here's a clutch I did earlier

Hey - I'm looking for feedback guys! did this clutch using some unbleached vintage french linen and finished it with a layered corsage using some recycled cottons and crochet. Do you think I should do more like these? The size of this one is quite large with an 8ins clasp frame with the base measuring about 10ins. Maybe a coin purse version would work better?

Over to you..:)

My Old French House

Well I had one of those days yesterday when my projects just fell together sweetly, with little effort. I love those days and wish they were all as enjoyable as that. We have an old 400year old house attached to our barn conversion which has remained untouched since we bought it in November. There are some lovely old dusty pieces of French charm that just long to be photographed.

TTV shots (taken through the viewfinder of an old vintage camera using a digital camera) capture it perfectly. Here is one for starters -

Thistle & French Script

To celebrate the 'Auld Alliance' relationship

between France and Scotland I've added one of my thistle watercolours to the Etsy store today with a lovely handwritten French overlay from an old French ledger
