Peek Behind The Curtains Challenge - CLOSED

[photojenn (Jenn)]

I forgot to take pictures before I sent I think I have some on loom pics of the towels, do you mind if I use a couple of your photos?

[jemimah (Kirsten)]

Please do use them! Let me know if you want some more pics of anything too

Just discovered another unposted project, so my third item is …

C2C Baby Blanket

Towards the end of 2021, it seemed like a number of LC members were making C2C blankets in varying sizes so I gave it a try myself and realized I never posted the finished project. [IMG_2163] It’s been hanging around my studio, not sure what my plan was for it. I have a new grandson but I made him a quilt and his other gramma and great-gramma both knit him blankets.

Here are two projects from the IYP swap.

Turned twill towels in blues, grey, and magenta

Ever since @jemimah moved into her new house I knew I wanted to weave her some towels and was thrilled to get the chance for the IYP swap. I was so excited to send them off that I didn’t get proper pictures so I’m borrowing some of hers [IMG_0113] [IMG_0114] Here are some on loom pics [IMG_6011] [IMG_6072] [IMG_6081] Here’s what they looked like when I cut them off the loom. [IMG_6490] And I’ll admit to loving the last towel so much that I had or weave a matching one …

Painted canvas journal

I made this painted canvas journal for @jemimah in the IYP swap. I was so excited to send that I forgot to take pictures so I’m using one of hers [IMG_0115] Here’s a pic of it closed. I reenforced the inside of the spine with tyvek to keep the holes for the elastic from expanding. [IMG_6632] This was really fun to make because I painted a larger piece or canvas then got to decide which part to rip out for the journal cover. Thanks for looking!

I’ll have to look through my photos for a third project.

I found a third project

Gelli printing over paper turned art

A couple months ago I did a long gelli printing session and loved how the over paper looked and decided to turn it into wall art! I made myself a little view finder to find the part I liked the most then wrapped it around an 8x8 canvas. [image] I love everything about this piece (the shapes, translucency of the layers, colors, asymmetry) and have been studying it to see what I can use in future art work.

Thanks for organizing this challenge, it was fun to look back through past projects and finally make some dedicated posts for them

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

It has been so fun seeing all the projects that somehow missed their chance at a starring role earlier!

[AudiobookLover]

I have posted a second project - Quilt as you go bags.

@Kwality570, I bet you have a ton of projects that you haven’t created individual posts for. If you have time, you should definitely share some of those creative endeavors!

[photojenn (Jenn)]

I bet @AIMR has some projects she could post too!

Eta - and @bluebird!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

[bluebird]

Here are my three:

A kitty for Gozer

[4x6venkmanmushroom] I painted this for @gozer in the first 4x6 art swap here on Lettuce Craft. It was for two of her themes (mushrooms and cats) and I painted this little cat to resemble her kitty named Venkman. Thanks for looking!

Mini Cactus Coptic Journal

[image] [image] This is a pocket sized coptic journal that measures 2.5" x 3.75". It has a hardcover and is coptic bound using waxed linen cord with 5 signatures. I used off white drawing paper for the signatures. This was one of the smallest coptic journals I’ve made and it was a lot of fun. Thanks for looking!

Misty forest Anthology

A collection of some misty forest watercolors that I have painted. These are all around 5" x 7". [mistyforest4] [stsfbgamffms] [stsfbgamffms333] [stsfbgwp1] [qpffprwp1] Thanks for looking!

I have so many more pieces in my photos. I had forgotten about some of them! I hope to get the photos all edited and slowly add them over time.

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

I hope you both @Trillian and @bluebird will post a bunch more of your old (and new) projects!!!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

WE HAVE 45 ENTRIES!!! If my quick count is accurate. Wouldn’t it be SOOOO COOOOOL to hit FIFTY NEW POSTS!? It sure would.

[Reinikka]

Here are two for me

Dragonfly & Bicycles ~ 4 x 6 Art

I made these in the past for the 4 x 6 Art swaps I had fun assembling this dragonfly with masterboard pieces. The blue-ish part of the background is a paint scraped masterboard punched into hexagons and re-configured. The wordy part says “it’s the little things that make life big” [IMG-5290] I had a set of bicycle stamps that I used for this piece along with some gelli print papers and mounting tape for some dimension. [IMG-7648] [IMG-7649] This one definitely had me singing in …

"Reinicles" or One Craft for my Stamp Obsession

I make it no secret that I like postage stamps… I have… a few Well sometime around last year I started using postage stamps to make these scrappy bookmark-ish things. One of the women in my crafting group dubbed them “Reinicles” (a play on my name, Reinikka, and the word “icicle”). I haven’t seen them done anywhere else but if there is a different name for them I would be happy to know I start with a strip of cardstock as wide as the stamp then cover it with scr…

Thanks!

[Immaculata]

And three from me makes 50!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

Faaaa-aaaa-aaaan-tastic! I guess we better set a stretch goal then.

How about 60? Can we get 10 MORE BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT? (US Pacific Time)

[Renstar (Ren)]

This is not an entry because I already have 3 in the mix. But my friend sent me this photo today and it prompted a post

Blast from the past

I recently started using my Instagram account and one of my friends has sent a picture of this bag I made some years ago. Proves I did use some of the huge denim stash I managed to accumulate!! [IMG_20230419_134607_650]

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

Thanks for sharing it here AND making a post with it - even after doing all three of your others!

Ok, one more from me if we are doing foursies!
