Domino collages in my Epla store

Epla is the Norwegian version of Etsy, and I have finally opened up my own store. To be more specific I opened the account months ago, but haven’t had the time to do all the preparations needed for the shop itself. But finally it all got done and I’m happy to welcome everyone here who wants to take a look. I don’t have that many products yet, but it will come, slow but steady :) Today’s contributions are these 3 domino collages, 2 necklaces and 1 brooch.

A new sketchbook

I have decorated yet another sketchbook. Both the technique and the book is the same, but the colors are a lot darker.

Owl pillows

Most people would have seen owls similar these around the net. With some encouragement from my daughter I decided to join the trend. They were made of both new and retro fabrics and they were fun to sew. But I got so bored with changing the tread all the time that I will not be sewing another one for quite some time :)

Pillow

From the start I was planning to use a completely different tapestry for this pillow. But as I was searching through my fabrics this pillow appeared, so the other tapestry will have to wait for a different fabric. I combined the pastry with some leftovers, an old curtain, some lace and ribbon.

Apron

This year, my daughter Amalie, started in 6th grade, and, as she told me Sunday morning, that meant it was time for cooking classes. For that she needed an apron and she didn’t really see any problems with telling me this late. It was just to sew one, she said. Well, I really didn’t have much choice so I had to give it a go.

Since this garment would have to be washed often I needed a fabric that was durable. That’s why I decided to use some old curtains. The design is based on the image in my head of an apron from the 50-60s. It turned out quite big, but the way she is growing at times I think that would be an advantage :)
