I have treated myself to a gocco printer, which I adore! This is my first attempt using the print machine and I've fallen in love with gocco. So the card seemed appropriate.<br />
<br />
I forsee more gocco cards down the line, mmm…Claire Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02190016286621322963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520933998409507080.post-86460317543046373742013-10-21T12:31:00.000+01:002013-10-21T12:31:00.091+01:00Look at the bright sideOne evening, I decided to make a papercut as a present for a friend's wedding.

I don't often talk about my other 'job' on here, that my day job is as a paper-engineer for children's books, but I have had a really busy year with various projects. Here are a few of them.<br />
<br />
I should hasten to add, none of the illustrations are mine it's just the mechanisms/pop-ups that are my hard work. I also don't know if any, or all, these books went into final production. They may even be in the shops by now, so look out for them!<br />

it was high time that I re-entered the blog world. Who knows how long it
will last this time but what can I say? Life kinda tends to take over.<br />

I'm mainly blaming this young man, Wilf<br />

my quilting group we have been beavering away together to make a 'red,
white and blue' quilt to be auctioned off for charity. I'd like to point
out which were my blocks, but I didn't get mine finished in time for
this photo (another thing that had slipped) but I have got made them in

But I can honestly say that I didn't even consider doing more than one name at a time until I received Lucy's commission.<br />
Lucy has 4 daughters and wanted their names entwined together into one piece. Et voila!<br />

I love the font Clarendon but no matter how I tried to use it, it just reminded me of one of the very successful Kyleigh's paper cuts (and I don't think that there's anyone on the 'Not on The High Street' site who hasn't seen her paper cuts recently). So I thought I'd go the whole hog and do this one in a very similar way, it was for a present for my niece anyway.</div>

I based this design on a tattoo that I saw of Pink's. I think it's a tattoo anyway, I can't remember where I saw the image now. I made the first one for a friend call Abigail (but I posted about that before). So here are two new names, but mainly I wanted to show you the lovely new frames that I've got a local framer to make for me. Don't they just look scrummy?<br />

If anyone out there's ever wondered what Mr. Poppet looks like, this should give you a vague idea, I came up with the design for his birthday this year. I've also updated my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovepoppet?ref=si_shop">etsy</a> shop, and this one is in there now.<br />

Apparently, Justin's fans often make a heart symbol with their hands, his favourite colour is purple and his next book or album is called 'Believe'. So I proudly thought I'd ticked all boxes.<br />
<br />
The only thing is that I've since found out that they call his fan's 'beliebers' so I may try making her up a version just with that one word instead.<br />

I've been told that all the fabrics are sentimental, they are from clothing belonging to someone in Rita's family and worn at certain events and Rita knows the story of each one. Also the quilt was put together by hand by her mum, who has now died. So I'm carefully going along in strips and re-stitching anything that needs it, without fiddling too much. I'm trying to keep as much original material and stitching as possible, and am trying not to make it obvious where I have been.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I'm finished with the quilt top, I'm going to wad and back it properly and I imagine that will strengthen the quilt top throughout. With any luck it could then last another 40 years.</div>Claire Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02190016286621322963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520933998409507080.post-11317176413854856672012-01-22T23:38:00.000+00:002012-01-22T23:38:15.589+00:00Back again<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well it's been a while since I last posted. I'm not sure why, but I feel like I've lost my way a bit. My mojo has definitely gone and left me. Maybe writing this post will help me get back into the flow.<br />
Not only have I not been posting, but I haven't even been able to face reading posts - it feels like I've had a slight aversion to my mac and couldn't bear to spend any extra time near it. Weird huh?<br />
<br />
So I thought I get back on the old horse by posting some picks of things that I've been fiddling on with at the back end of last year. After setting up an account on Pinterest, and spending far too much time looking at pretty pictures on it, I realised that I kept humming Beyonce's Single Ladies song but with a slight lyric change.<br />

Sure enough the pressures on to get your Chrimbo cards sorted, and this year I thought I'd print us some snowmen cards to send out. I still really like my Russian dolls card, so I thought I base the snowmen on that idea. What's cuter than a family of snowmen hey?</div><br />

I've printed a few more Than I needed (expecting some dodge prints) but they all printed really well. So I'm going to put the extras for sale in my <a href="http://www.folksy.com/shops/lovepoppet">Folksy</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovepoppet">Etsy</a> shops.<br />
<br />
Also, for the month of November I'm also going to do an offer where you can buy any four of my cards for a tenner. It doesn't matter if they're all the same, or if it's one of four different designs. This is all in an effort to regain some drawer space as I have other ideas that I what to get on and make, but need some space to accommodate them.

After having a hectic time at work it just felt like I needed some time away from my mac, but it doesn't mean that I'm not fiddling on with things. I'm still pushing on with my hexagon quilt, and I'm fully in printing mode. So hopefully I'll get some more posts up soon.<br />

Through October we had some beautifully sunny days which inspired the second one of my <a href="http://lovepoppet.blogspot.com/2011/09/paper-cutting.html">framed</a> commissions.<br />

At first I framed it up with a white background which really didn't work, I think it looks far stronger against the black. For the third frame, I'm considering trying my hand at a spot of quilling. Never tried it before, but hey, why not?Claire Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02190016286621322963noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520933998409507080.post-55715719580097115282011-10-10T10:06:00.000+01:002011-10-10T10:06:40.846+01:00Foundation pieced<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last week at my group we did a bit of stained glass style quilting, using the paper piecing (or foundation pieced) technique.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Typical of me, I sorted out a stack of black and dark grey fabrics for this project and them left them at home on the day. So I used a dark brown for the lead frame element, I don't think it looks too bad. I did have a midnight blue fabric that I was tempted to use too, but that had tiny snowflakes on and I wasn't sure it'd entirely work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm planning on starting this quilt soon, for my littlest one but I'm gonna use fabrics that match her sister's <a href="http://lovepoppet.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-know-ive-been-quiet-for-while-but-ive.html">quilt</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It wasn't the main focus of the image, it was just in the background. Me being me thought, 'ooh I'd love to make that' so I bought a load of fabric and then couldn't remember where I'd seen the image that I liked.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a couple of months, and my friend Jay posted a photo of a hexagon quilt, made by <a href="http://www.abigailanne.com/">Abigail Newbold</a> on her blog. Here is that image:<br />

Isn't it lovely. This has now become my new muse, this time though I thought I'd get on with it straight away.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wanted to make it mainly lime to apple green and grey, but on showing the hubster what I was thinking of he said that he'd prefer reds and hot oranges. I thought I best bow to his choice as this is going to be on our bed, and I'd like him to be pleased with it in the end.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Believe it or not, I actually had most of these already in my stash and even have plenty of reds left that I haven't needed for this quilt. So far, I've only had to buy one of the greys, but may need to get another for the next stage.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm trying to have the majority of the reds in the centre in a random shape. The darker ones in the inside working out to light reds and oranges then it'll go through greys and then into blacks on the outer edges.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sewing them all together in flower shapes is taking me back to childhood when I made a pincushion (that didn't hold pins) out of hexagons. It's somehow restful sewing them all together. I bet if I looked round my mum's house I could probably find the non-pincushion too.</div><br />
