Just for Fun " Fabric and Fibre "

Good evening, afternoon or morning depending where you are and what time you are reading this !

It’s evening here in Greece and I had planned to clear down my desk as I will be leaving for my summer house by the sea for a few days. I had not intended to take part in anymore challenges for a while and to have a bit of quality time with family before I leave…………but then I only went and took a peep at the Just for Fun challenge blog and what did I find but another fabulous theme ….yes another one and just too good to resist This weeks theme is  ” Fabric and Fibre ” Needless to say my desk, the floor, the sofa in my work room are heaving with lots of the above , so much for ” clearing down ” ! I will most probably end up just stuffing it all in a couple of paper bags until I return !

 
I had recently bought some special ink jet fabric in cotton and silk and have been dying to use them I have to say the print quality is really good and I was quite pleased with the results . Now don’t collapse Zoe I did say quite pleased ( which means it’s most probably rubbish ) I embossed and inked some lovely linen card and printed the images onto the cotton and then just tied them loosely with some fabric . I wanted to keep it simple and natural looking although as usual the simpler it is the longer it takes !!!
So as of tomorrow am packing up the mutts and going to the beach , hubby has to stay and hold the fort  and I shall be holding a glass of chilled wine ahhhhhh. I will have my I Pad thingy with me so will still be able to visit you all. 
Whatever you do and where ever you do it do it in style and have fun !

Oops nearly forgot,  go and see what the fabulous DT have come up with at Just for Fun  ( don’t know how they do it ) once again this week more wonderful inspirational pieces !

Now where did I put those carrier bags ???

  2. Gorgeous pieces Marie, I especially love the butterfly as it reminds me of the colour of my favourite flower, the poppy.Hope you don't stay away too long as we will miss you entering challenges – perhaps you could pop some things in the carrier bags and take them with you to craft with?Thanks for joining us each week at JFF – Hugs, Neet x

  6. Marie, both are just gorgeous. I love the colorful butterfly and the lovely flowers. I am envious of your going off to the beach house. I probably would take a quick swipe at the art room mess and just close the door, not bothering with putting things in bags, except what I was going to take with me.

  10. House by the sea … AHHHH! SIGHHHHH! Oh, sorry, yes I did want to say your tags are fabulous, Marie. So light, fresh and speak of summer. Have a spectacular time … I will imagine you there (in style of course). I nearly bought a house on Hydra in the 60's. That Island is forever imprinted on my heart. Enjoy the moment. I will miss you! xxDonna

  14. Wow – these are fabulous Marie! I love the loose layering of the fabric with the embossed and inked card stock – it looks like the kind of tag they'd have at some posh boutique for their ludicrously priced boho clothing. I was wondering why you'd bother with paper bags – is there not a door on your craft room? Out of sight certainly does it for me! Have a lovely time swanning about on the beach, chilled wine in hand!

  16. Uhm-mm…. Beach, chilled wine… Sounds great! With the weather like ours you would opt for fireplace, stew and Shiraz instead 🙂 Love your tags! xenia (ps, pop in, I have a tiny candy for my readers, honey)

  21. These are stunning, Marie, love the colour of that butterfly – very eyecatching. Ink jet fabric – got to look for some of that! Enjoy your summer break by the sea and return refreshed and ready to participate in all the challenges again 🙂 Elizabeth x

  29. Marie, thanks for your lovely comment on my entry. I bought the soluble fabric from a lady who had bought too much to use herself(!) but I think you could get it from any good fabric shop, or I found it herehttp://www.barnyarns.co.uk/Water-Soluble-fabric-c-1016.htmlSuze xx
