cartouches...

Let me tell you a short story ...(full of mistakes, sorry .. remember , i'm french..)

Once upon a time , a young Marquise was madly in love with her ​​young husband went to fightin Austria, every day she waits. One day, tragedy knocked at her door she learns that her husband was killed in action.
Desperate ,she die of grief, praying for him. Here is the necklace "to remember", that her sister and confidante wore every day of her life, in memory of this loving heart.

Totally invented! of course

The tubes are made ​​following the idea of ​​Robin (here her tutorial ) and my own 2 years old tutorial (lol) ( here)

and the bracelet, very unique, dentelle de calais and those words " je vous aime" "mes égarements" (i love you, my errors) from a old missal ravaged by time and probably a believer mouse... 

Thanks for looking!

sewing sewing

hello ladies.. with this persistant virus.. impossible to make hard works.. sewing it's cool and sweet
On the basis of an acyilic and suede bracelet , I stitched felt, fiber and beads for a bohemian look.

****************

And this Romance's necklace , made before Christmas,for a dear friend. Work was difficult because she wanted a tribute to her dad. So I transferred to the fabric a digital picture of him and included on my work her  father's military medals. It was very awesome to work with man's picture and military medals..  , i mean make something feminine with masculine's elements.. but inspiration and love was there
