Jane Made This: Christmas decorations

http://www.janemadethis.com/2010/12/christmas-decorations.html

When I was in Junior school my favourite shops were WHSmith and Ryman's where I could buy coloured tissue, paper etc to make things including christmas decorations and cards. Using my trusty Spotstick I worked out how make openy-uppy tissue baubles and bells by alternating the glue spots. I made about six of the things in various shapes. But I can only now find the four in the picture. Perhaps I threw away the tree-shaped one as it wasn't up to the standard of these. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jane Made This: Clay Pipe Jewellery

http://www.janemadethis.com/2011/06/clay-pipe-jewellery.html

Hard to believe I haven't put any of these on here! I am still trying to find a regular selling pitch/outlet and I am a bit jaded by the response of market managers saying they don't want any more jewellery stalls without actually looking at what I am selling or understanding that it's all about history.

Jane Made This: Leather coat into cushions

http://www.janemadethis.com/2011/12/leather-coat-into-cushions.html

Leather coat into cushions. Once upon a time, in the mid-90s, these leather cushions were a 60s suede coat that I loved. I wore it a lot but the cotton that had been used to sew it together was starting to lose its grip and the buttons needed replacing so, fed up with the constant repairs, I turned it into four 16" cushions using the suede and leather sides to maximum effect. Each one is a different with plain brown cloth on the other side. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And Jane Designed This.

Jane Made This: Red spotty dress

http://www.janemadethis.com/2012/02/red-spotty-dress.html

I am pleased with this dress. It's probably one of the most versatile and simple dresses I have made in years. I only had about 1.5 metres of this jersey so I had to plan carefully. and it all could have gone horribly wrong as I had no spare material should it go wrong. The top section is a fixed wrap, the sleeves are of a decent flattering length (ladies, I am sure you understand what I mean! Yes, I am thoroughly pleased with it. Here it is on holiday last year.

Jane Made This: From caravan shack to beach bar/cafe

http://www.janemadethis.com/2015/04/from-caravan-shack-to-beach-barcafe.html

From caravan shack to beach bar/cafe. For the past year or so I have been busy on a project in Turkey, whether when there or via Skype and email from London. Top two pics show it in December 2013. The bottom two pics are work in progress from March 2014. The removable plastic outer for the front deck was ordered and added October 2014. I also designed and produced the printed menus (not shown) and created signage; some was cut by my own fair hand from 'sticky back plastic', as just glimpsed inside the ba...

This year's, oops, last year's card is an arrangement of clay pipe fragments in the shape of a tree, including a bowl as the trunk.

Jane Made This: Fake stained glass

http://www.janemadethis.com/2010/03/fake-stained-glass.html

I had a window created in the wall at the top of the stairs to let light through. Real stained glass was going to cost a lot of money, and be heavy. So I hit on the bright(! Idea of using perspex, self adhesive metal tape and scraps of coloured lighting gels. Less than £20. Bargain! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click on the pictures to view them at a larger size.

Jane Made This: Kitchen cupboards and shelves

http://www.janemadethis.com/2014/01/kitchen-cupboards-and-shelves.html

Kitchen cupboards and shelves. Back in about 1998 I ripped out the hideous old grey kitchen cupboards and the pale pink marble tiles (yes, really). I've always disliked the standard sizes and style of cupboard carcasses available (bespoke? 8211; I wanted something slimmer and less obtrusive. What on earth do other people keep in all those boxes? So I set about making them myself. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click on the pictures to view them at a larger size. And Jane Designed This. Julian Beever...

Jane Made This: Early paintings

http://www.janemadethis.com/2012/03/early-paintings.html

I cannot get rid it but I don't want it on my wall either. On day two, after about nine hours of brushwork I felt I couldn't stretch it out any longer. Mr Lloyd asked where my prep was. Er? But it was still life! Had i missed something? It turns out I was supposed to produce something more than one piece of art! So I spent the remainder of the time producing other sketches of the crockery in different configurations using alternative media. 5 May 2012 at 19:28. 5 May 2012 at 19:33. And Jane Designed This.
