Handmade Monday 52
Hello and welcome to Handmade Monday (click the link for more info and how to join in).
This week, to celebrate the fact that we’ve had 52 Handmade Mondays (officially a year’s worth of them!) let’s try a little celebration/shameless self-promotion – group-style! OK, so . . .
if you’re on Twitter, please tweet that you’ve blogged for #HandmadeMonday and link to your own blog (if you use the hashtag #HandmadeMonday – with no spaces – I can locate your tweets easily and retweet them). You can see how this would work to promote all of you, right? If you want to get in on the retweeting too, please feel free! Try to keep your tweet short (under 120 characters) so retweeting is easier. Bit.ly is good for shortening your links, if you need it and it lets you track your clicks too.
Feel free to spread the word beyond Twitter too. A bit of shouting from the rooftops can’t harm any of us, surely?
This week, I’ve been working on a clock for a customer – this is it in the early stages:
It will be a gift for a rugby league fan, and I’m going to use two very specific team colours, as requested.
As you can probably see in the above image, I am working from a selection of images of rugby players. These were direct from Google, I’m afraid – my research just doesn’t run to rugby matches in this weather (is it even rugby season?). I must admit, I needed to add some specific terms to my searches – if you just type rugby players into Google images. . . well, let’s just say I won’t be using those kind of images for my clocks!!
Go on, admit it, you’re all on Google images right now, aren’t you?
Oh, you’re back? OK - it’s over to you now. Let’s see what’s going on in your world! And if you’re here after following a Twitter link, welcome. Do have a browse around at least some of the fabulous blogs below.
