I'm so excited! Last week , after much encouraging from my "pushy - LOL!) friend KMouse, I finally got the nerve to post some pictures of my dyed laces to a couple Yahoo CQ sites I belong to. To my surprise I received a nice note from Hazel in the UK and the end result was I had my first International order! How exciting! Then to top it off I got a few more orders the same day which made me rethink a few things... if I want to get my creations noticed... I have to put them out there. So... here I go. I just finished dying up some more laces and have to tell you every time I do a new batch I say "oh yea... these are the prettiest yet" I think it's the combination of the lace designs and the love of color.... it's like sitting down with some watercolors and painting in a coloring book... if you don't like one color just move on to the next and if you don't like that color, heck, just mix the dyes and create a new one.
Those are just beautiful, Monday when I see whos name I get for the CQ block I may just have to order some of that beautiful lace.I'm really, really nervous about this swap. Everytime I read what each swappers likes are I get more and more nervous. I just want who ever I get to be very pleased. I've been searching alot about CQ, so I have a good idea of what to do. I've been prying I get one that likes oceans, seas, tropics. I can think of some beautiful things for those. The ocean is filled with so many wonderful things. I don't think I'll do as well with something victorian. I think the laces are beautiful. And would be great in the romantic, flower, and victorian blocks. Where do I go to see all your laces?
ReplyDeleteEverything - Thank you for the compliment - dying lace and embellishing it is one of my most favortie things to do (well besides CQ) You can contact me at Bnickilee@aol.com or check out my laces in my Flicker album. NO need to be nervous - I've seen your work and your are incredible!
ReplyDeleteBy the way - great job on your web site!
