Lavender Angel of Heart

One of the items I made out of my fabric scraps is this Lavender Angel of Heart - 'the key to my heart'. I still am undecided on whether to use a wooden ball for the head but this is basically it and I will be making more of this to sell. I already have the lavender house and now I have the angel of heart.

The angel of heart measures about 16cms x 20.5cms. I placed a thin wadding(the ones I normally used in my fabric postcards) and also I placed a small georgette bag inside with a 20ml of lavender. And the highlight of this handmade heart is the key which you find at the center of the heart. This is a rusted garden key measuring about 6cms and inside a pocket measuring about 4.5cms x 7.5cms sealed by a craft plastic.

So if the lavender house which I released late last year was not your type, perhaps this lavender angel of heart would be? A great way to celebrate the month of love with someone you love.

Creative Life Week 51 - Handmade Iphone Armholder

I was about to print all my creativity project for 52 weeks in 2012 when I remembered I still needed to post the last two projects I did. The last three weeks has been so busy and with the heat I just couldnt be bothered taking pictures until today.

For Week 51 I made a fabric iphone armholder. I always wanted to make one and finally decided a few days before Christmas to sit down and start making drawings on how I wanted my iphone armholder to look like. It would be the best time to make as I decided to go back to my daily walks starting the 1st of Jan. and one of the things I didnt really want to do was hold my phone while walking.  So here is what I made - I know it is too squarish and a couple of centimetres bigger I have enough space to put the earphones but am so glad I finally have made one.

This is how to wear it - goes through the hand and up to the arm 

and I even made a matching headband. :-)

 

To make sure that I was comfortable wearing it, I used it in today's walk. I hope to perfect the creation as I still have lots of ideas on how to make it even better .
