This will be a fun challenge including fabric and stitch and on the back I can write something about the week to create a set of memories of this year. Anne's tags measure 2"x 3" (excluding the top). Challenges will come out weekly (hopefully ready for the weekend) on Youtube, Instagram and FB. 
I've gathered my 52 tags - my working area is 2.5" x 4.5". Not sure if they were purchased or gifted since they were luckily in my stash! They are slightly narrower than my Jumbo playing cards (3.5'' x 4.75'') from last year and I think I'll enjoy this size. Will be interesting to see how my interpretations vary from the instructions given. I'm already going my own way since Anne is gathering her tags on a split book binding ring. I already know I want to add ribbons and fibre to the tops of mine and they'll end up in a box - I just need to find the right size. I love the look I achieved with this tag concertina journal project from last year 
and hope this year's challenge will turn into another gorgeous colourful project. I'm keeping all the tags banded together for now and I've got a couple of date stamps for the back. 
First tag challenge : All White. I always love the gathering stage
Still room for some personal journaling on the back as the week passes. 
Take the challenge and make it your own. Mine includes machine stitching, paper, gesso, modeling paste, paper doily, tape, heart, embroidered flower, fabric, lace and ribbon.This challenge was all about texture and I love my first tag.
that's lovely. I am doing TAST Take a Stitch Tuesday and plan to make a spool hanging. I will send you a pic to show you what I mean.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly wishing you and yours a healing,fun and creative year. Glad you are through treatment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue and I look forward to seeing your stitching project :-)
DeleteThat is lovely! I like the whole tag idea- it seems quite manageable. And displaying in a box is a good thought, too. Your 2020 efforts look so good that way. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. I am excited because I do think this is a realistic project alongside other things I am currently enthusiastic about.
DeleteIt's great that you've found a suitable project right when you needed it - I like the idea of writing on the back! It will be fun following your progress! I might look into it too, though the year-long commitment scares me a little!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have found this project. Not a huge area AND more guidance so I think this will be a lovely project. I learned so much doing last year's cards.
DeleteThank you for such a great "challenge" - its has arrived at a good time in my life. Something I will not end up feeling overwhelmed by and very manageable. I don't know what happened to 2020 so I am praying at the end of this year I can look back and see I have accomplished something. Sending you a virtual hug; I believe in serendipity.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have shared it. Will continue to share my interpretations of Anne's prompts weekly. It's lovely to be engaged across the world in something positive. All the best to you for 2021
