Zippers !!

 

So despite thinking I'm creative on occasion. A quick google search of my bright ideas usually reveals that 50 other people have already done it and done it well. This however does not phase me. I started making bracelets out of zippers anyway and the variations one can come up with still lends itself to personal taste and creativity.

 

Due to the fact that I love all things historicaly inspired, I'm a fan of steampunk. So I made a few bracelets that fall into that category and I think they are my favourite. The lace/metal combination is a little irresistible.

 

 

Now... because I have 3 boys at home, my craft/sewing table at the markets tends to be heavily steeped in girly stuff. Jewelry little dresses, hand embroidered purses, fascinators, the list goes on.

So I've been trying to add some slightly more masculine pieces here and there. Found these cute little "metal word plates" at Michaels on clearance and they worked perfectly.

 

So off I go, I've neglected my sewing this morning. I'll be off to work shortly, then rush home to pack the car and head up to Poltimore Quebec tonight with my 3 kids + 1. I'll have a table at the Poltimore Fair for the weekend, then back home to resume the regular markets Season at the Cumberland Farmers Market.

 

Happy crafting!!
