Tissue plate keepsake?

I seriously could not decide what to name this project. So...yeah.

This idea happened rather haphazardly. I LOVE this picture of my grandmother. It was taken when she graduated from college. She made the dress she is wearing and I remember staring at this picture when I was a little girl. My grandma King (Shirley) was (I guess, still is) and AMAZING seamstress. She graduated from BYU with a clothing design and family sciences degree. She is such a sweet lady and I wanted to honor her this Mothers Day.

I didn't know quite what to do.

I thought.

And thought.

Till I saw an old plate I had made a few years ago- which I never finished.

Mod Podge + Inspiration = this plate! Wahoo!

I simply covered the plate (which was purchased at Tai Pan, also seen at Wal Mart) applied a wrinkled sheet of tissue paper, re-applied Mod Podge, then firmly pushed the picture into place- smoothing out any bubbles. I let the plate dry and it was done! It looks really pretty in person, I don't think the picture does it justice. Hopefully its a treasure! Happy Mother's Day!

I heart my Camera strap.

I love my Canon Rebel T1i.
I hate the strap on my Canon Rebel T1i.

NEEDS:
2 coordinating fabrics cut to the size of your strap
(my strap was cut to a 2.5 inch X 27 inch dimension)

Begin by sewing right sides together with 5/8" seam allowance. Sew down both sides until you have an inside out tube of fabric.

Turn the tube right sides out and slide on to the camera strap.

I just tacked down the ends, put a hand stich to close the ends.

Nothin' fancy here folks.

Much more neck and fashion friendly.

temple + photoshop = fun.

Raw image. ehh. pretty cause its the temple.
