We are Neet and Wendy and we would like to welcome you to our fortnightly challenge, ‘Artful Times’, where we are offering a variety of challenges to inspire you to create in whichever style or medium of crafting you enjoy. You never know, we might even inspire you to create something out of your comfort zone and try out something new.

Yes like all challenge sites we have rules and guidelines. We hope you will read and follow them, we have Oyster Stamps as our sponsor, and of course, a winner and runner up will be chosen each month. We may also have the occasional guest designer.

Challenge 17 - A Fabric Tag


Delighted with what you have all been coming up with for the various challenges and seeing such a broad spectrum of media I got to thinking of something different for a challenge.   I decided that I would ask you all to make a fabric tag.  ie a tag made from fabric and decorated in any way you want.

Can have, or not have, sewing involved in it - it is entirely up to you but I know that whatever you do it will be a lovely example using fabric in some way.  Remember you have almost two weeks to produce something so there is no need to rush.

Here is what the two of us here came up with - notice Von has no sewing on hers at all:

and I certainly don't


just wonky pretend stitching.

Now what will you do?  Sewing - Transfer techniques - Rubber stamping - Painting - can't wait to see.

Challenge #5 ~ Ribbon & Lace

Great to see all your fabulous bird makes over the last couple of weeks, it certainly proved to be a popular topic.  It's back round to my turn already to choose another theme, doesn't time fly eh, pun intended, bird~fly - yeah!!  So I decided to go for something a little bit different for this bi-weekly challenge.  I would like to see you using ribbon and lace in your creations, as much or as little of each as you wish.  Any mediums, any format, any size, just be sure to follow the rules to be in with a chance to win the prize kindly donated to us by Tracey at Oyster Stamps.


So what did we make then?
