Anyone guess what the ground fabric is???
I have been playing with sewing through those cheap plastic folders (I got 25 for 99p in poundstretchers) . This next iece shows it sanded and with a hole in it and stitch across the hole. I have trapped crayon shavings between two layers to bet that purple patch, which I quite like, I think it looks like tarnish.
I have also been looking at scale armour and how to produce something inspired by it. I was heading towards metal but have taken a happy detour into plastic using old plastic pop and water bottles.
It is really hard to show so I have photographed it on the rug and on white. I am not hapy with the stitching to join yet, but am thinking on about it!
I have also this week been teaching myself to crochet, my sister is a dab hand, has her own site selling hats and jewellery that are just amazing and so treandy, and so I am trying my hand. I have made a neck warmer scarf complete with flower and am half way through a spirally one now too. So here is the neck warmer, and the new me complete with new do! I was bored with the bob, and so Penny my wonderful hairdresser did this, which is much younger and trenddier I think! What do you think???? Shall I change my profile pic?

I want to see a view of the new hairdo from the back. It looks good.
Love the neck warmer. Crotchet was the first thing I learned to do with a needle! Now it's back in fashion.
Ya look fabulously younger and fabulously pretty!
Love the work you have been doing.
Definitely love the new look, both your blog and you. Great hair do, a great hairdresser is a boon.
intriguing new work Carol and I love the new look of your blog and the new hairdo is brilliant ~ change that photo for sure ~ Have a fab weekend ~ Judy xxx
woohoo(that's a wolf whisle in case you didn't know)I think it looks fabulous.
I love the new 'do (need one, myself) and the scarf is fabulous, so I vote for a new profile photo!
Your work is quite intriguing, as usual. I look forward to seeing more of your plastic armour (love the contradiction of armour made from see-through plastic!)
love the new hair style, makes you look younger. I think definitely update the profile photo.
the neck warmer thingy is great, looks really snuggly.
does the plastic armourhave to be freestanding, or will you be attaching it to a background? if the latter, you don't need joining stitches, just a holding stitch at the top, which gave it flexibility as the wearer moved.
thanks for your comment on my blog hon.
Hey you Kool Dude - new work meets the new you ... wonderful, and I just knew the crayon mash would work a treat .. keep up the inspiration.

The new you is a yes and I am so envious of you spending time with Susan lenz. I wonder if she's coming North!
