52 Tags Challenge - Tag 11

 

Tag 11 - rings by MrsSOnline is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 

Another tag prompt was released on Friday. This time it was all about blanket stitch around rings. Another new technique to have a go at exploring.

First of all a bit of creative thinking to find a ring of some sort in the stash. In the end some jump rings were found in the beading box. At the same time the fish bead begged to be used so it found its way onto this tag as well.

Adding the blanket stitch to the rings was great fun with just a little difficulty when the thread pulled through the tiny gap in the jump ring. The perle thread was just the right size for the 10 mm rings and I was able to use all the blue hues.

I added some lace again and used some fabric that has found its way onto another tag as well. I experimented with colouring the lace with my Inktense watercolours. Did this the hard way as I had added the lace before thinking of adding colour so slipped some paper underneath to stop the colour bleeding to the pink fabric that is behind the lace. 

Have you ever tried colouring fabric with watercolour? How did it go?
