TAG TUESDAY - ROCK POOLS AND BEACH FINDS



Hello everyone, hope you have all had some sunshine this week.  What a joy it has been to be at the seaside stitching my tag this week.
For my tag this week I picked a handful of shells and interesting beach finds from my collection and stitched them onto my tag.  Most of them had holes in them to sew through, others I just sewed over  to attach them to the tag. I used craft vylene covered in purply-green silk for the base tag and used various threads to stitch the shells on, and embroider in between. I then filled in the gaps with pearls and turquoise beads and sequins. 

 The tag is finished with a tie of turquoise threads and ribbons with beads and pearls.   Thanks for looking, have a wonderful creative week.  Bye for now,
Jane xx

    1. Thank you Pat, it was a joy to make too! It was a project that I had been wanting to do for years and finally got around to. I would like to make a bigger version, but that will have to wait!
