Flying the flag
Here's a peep at the latest bit of nonsense that's been filling my time - a tiny beaded Union Jack from a pattern found in the latest issue of Making Jewellery magazine. It has a limited shelf life - I doubt I'll be sporting it past the Jubilee and maybe the Olympics, but this one is destined either to be a bag tag - maybe for my dad's bag (still waiting to be posted) or a tag for my keys. It's a bit big for a mobile phone charm but I can see obvious ways to reduce it even further and then, who can say?

Cool! I seem to be finding it tricky to summon my patriotic gene. Must get more excited about the Jubilee.

I might have to commission a few for our luggage. To fool people into thinking we arent Ugly Americans. Until we open our mouths, that is. xo

ReplyDeleteOoooh, that's adorable! I've been a little bit obsessed by the Union Jack lately -- I'd love to make one of those too!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like it! Ever since moving to the States, I've been a little bit more patriotic, mind (I think it's an uncontrollable reaction to constantly hearing them declare that the US is the 'best' country in the world...)
ReplyDeleteThat is so very cute and desirable!

ReplyDeleteYou should make some up, stand outside the Olympic stadium and you'd make a fortune.
Grief, your dad is trendy - if he ever gets that bag, of course!!

This is lovely. Must have gone a bit cross-eyed making it. I can see you using for a much longer than you think.
ReplyDeleteAha! I was admiring that today and meant to ask you about it but forgot.
