I used a lovely piece of vintage velvet for this one.
The little girl's dreadlocks I machined on top of a few of the inked ones.
It may have taken a long time but I did actually enjoy the process, the inking, staining, sewing, collaging, and writing one of the quotes from a Tim Holtz stamp on a pure cream piece of new cotton.
And grunging it all up.
The bottom 'circle' is a grunged piece of paper on which I have written a grungey Love
This looks so much better in real life too. The velvet is all the same green in colour and feels just lovely to touch.
I have got quite attached to this and really hope the recipient is happy with it when she has received it.

This is a lovely piece Lottie and thank you for commenting on my blog - the pages were done from Kelly Kilmers templates. My pages fro Dyans class are still 'in progress'! We live about 3-31/2 hours away but it is worth the journey.

I like the banners and the quote on this one.
Who wrote it originally? Can I put it in my journal you gave me when I moved home? (Always worry about copyrights!).
