Miniatures by Teri Calia! And New Home Sweet Home Collection!
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Cute as a Button, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Newsletters, Teri Calia
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Teri’s project that are still available on the new site.
A couple quick announcements before I tell you about the ADORABLE (!) miniatures by Teri Calia.
First: there’s a new FREE Gift Kit: Homespun, as we’re continuing our button mania this month (and I was inspired by Teri’s artwork — and all the New and On Sale! Home Sweet Home papers and rubber stamps)! More info
Second (inspired by that little gift kit): I’ve just put all the Twill Tape Ribbons On Sale! — from 20% to 40% off! (And, yes, that includes that cute little trim set at left by Tim Holtz!)
I love the miniatures that Teri Calia creates! And Teri has outdone herself, as she made THREE tiny sewing projects for today’s newsletter!
Teri’s New! Mini Sewing Notions Collage Sheet (On Sale! now through Sunday night, February 22nd) is filled with tiny things to make a sewing project: miniature versions of vintage button cards and other sewing ephemera (including mini boxes to fold together).
Note: this collage sheet includes tiny spool labels sized for the Wood Mini Spools and New! Small Wooden Spools (shown at left with the New! Vintage Ribbon Spools and Small Wooden Finials — also used in Teri’s projects… it’s deceiving from looking at all the details in the finished artwork just how tiny those wooden spools are).
See the tiny spools in the box at the top of the photo at right? Those are the Wood Mini Spools and have labels from the new collage sheet — and they’re inside a tiny box put together from the collage sheet, too… like that aqua pin box just to the right of my thumb.
And sneaking behind that aqua pin box is a little strip of Dennison Brass Pin Strip (new to the site but a vintage item: originally made for Dennison Pinning Machines).
Here’s a link to Teri’s supply list (that covers all 3 of her sewing projects). And visit Teri’s blog for more pictures and info on the two miniature sewing chests that I’ve run out of time to discuss (but two photos of one of them are at the bottom of the photo at right); and Teri’s blog post includes tips on making a mini pin cushion, too.
But don’t forget to come back, and enter the Tiny Sewing Basket Giveaway drawing (info below) that includes many of the items from Teri’s artwork!
