Suzi's Scribbles...: Covering a Mount/Matt
http://www.suziscribbles.com/2012/07/covering-mountmatt.html
Sharing my calligraphy and lettering art. Monday, 9 July 2012. Sometimes, the colours of mount-board available just don't suit certain pieces of work. I think calligraphers especially have this problem, as the paper is often as much a part of the work as the calligraphy and any decoration. Black or white paper, and hand made papers usually look more streamlined if the mount is covered in the same paper as that used for the lettering. It's really quite easy to do. Adds another dimension in this case.

Friday, 13 February 2015. I am sorry to inform you all that my mother, The Crafty Mugwump, passed away peacefully in her sleep early this morning at home, fifteen short months after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. I hope this post will be in keeping with the style of her blog. Finally I spotted one type of plant in bloom and it seemed particularly appropriate given its form. We had spent many happy times at the bottom of the garden with all the family gathered round the fire pit. My mum e...

The Crafty Mugwump: November 2013
http://craftymugwump.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 November 2013. Yesterday my friend Paula came round for a crafty morning, transfer paints were on the agenda and some pleasing results were achieved. I am in love with this pressed Geranium leaf that had been eaten by bugs in my garden this summer, luckily I pressed quite a few of them and if I can only remember which book I stored them in I will be able to repeat the design. I've used pelmet vilene for some of the samples, the transfer paint is very vivid on all of the vilenes. I decided to ...

http://craftymugwump.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 10 December 2013. I've been stitching through 16ml plywood for the past two days. These stars were cut with a jigsaw painted, stencilled and waxed. I made the holes with my trusty dremil (actually my husband ended up finishing the drilling) and I threaded a large bodkin with red wool and stitched. They may end up hanging or just spread around the house, we made 16 altogether ranging from 18" to 4". It's starting to feel like Christmas. Saturday, 7 December 2013. Tuesday, 3 December 2013. So this...

Sunday, 23 February 2014. First of all I want to thank everyone for their lovely comments on my last post and to explain why I have not replied individually as I normally do. Typing is getting a more and more lengthy task as my fingers are losing feeling, so I thought I would use my time to craft rather than type. Please keep the comments coming, they mean a lot to me. I've been using my inktense blocks to draw imaginary still lifes, I'd like to add some stitch to this if I can. Saturday, 15 February 2014.

The Crafty Mugwump: January 2014
http://craftymugwump.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 January 2014. I can no longer pretend that motor neuron disease is not having an effect on my crafting, this week I have had a serious falling out with my sewing machine. Paper seems the way to go, it has more rigidity than fabric for free motion work. I treated myself to some Inktense blocks on my last visit to Artvango, finally got round to playing with them. They are as vibrant as the pencils and are good for sketching as they cover the paper quickly. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am sorry...

The Crafty Mugwump: May 2014
http://craftymugwump.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 23 May 2014. This is the bed I removed the alliums from last year, I'm kind of glad that these survived my scorched earth policy, but they have taken over again. This is definitely the year for aquilegeas they have been quietly hybridising over the years and there are at least a dozen different ones now. I love the pin points of orange from the Welsh poppies in this border. Early morning sun as the poppies burst from the calyx. I'm very fond of poppies. What a wonderful spring we have had! It has...
