A felt fable, zine for swap

I think I posted about Suzanne Redmonds zine swap a while back.  Well i got my zine shipped off on time so here are some pics from my zine.  It’s my third one and it’s a FATTY!  I got a little carried away on the felt stuff as you will see but it couldn’t be helped, I was having a lot of fun with it.  Till I started putting it together and realized how fat it was. 

Any who, there was major drama the weekend I had to mail them off and I had a mild panic attack for a while there because you know up til then I had been soooo organized and ahead of schedule.  Yeah the drama put me back a bit and I ended up pulling an all-nighter but I gotherdone!  and that’s the important thing isn’t it?  so here are the pics

100 felt bracelets,  they’re flat because I didn’t put clasps on them and you know it’s a zine, uh well come to think of it I did loop them to attach them to a page so, there went that.

103 Okay, their more cuff bracelets anyway but I like them.  I had to keep these fairly simple because of the weight but the ones I make for myself have a lot of blingies on them. but each recipient is encouraged to embellish to their heart’s content.  I hope they do!

106 the amulet bags were chunky because of the flowers, I have to do a floral book now, because I’m totally addicted to making flowers now.

109 I really like how this flower came out all smooshed, that one in the corner is ginormous but I had to use it cus I made it and all.

111 these are the bottle cap rings, I have fat fingers but I tried to make the rings one size fits most.  yeaahh, don’t know if that worked as planned, but I really like how these came out.  Too hot to wear felt stuff now but once it’s cooler, I’m gonna be rockin the felt jewelry.  hehehe

132 and there are those fatty boombalatty zines all packed and ready to go.  There is much more stuff inside them, but I’m going to sell a few in my Etsy shop soooooo, I won’t spoil the surprise.  anyway, thats’ that project in the bag, uh, box. On to the next one!
