something grey for the weekend

This Sunday the VanEtsyChicks are meeting up for coffee and yack (see this thread www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5144750 for details) or, as my ?better?half calls it 'VanEtsy Chicking'.

Anyway, last time we had a mini challenge to create a cool ID pin so we would recognise each other. This time our mission is to create something representative of our shop using shades of grey!

Well this is mine! It has everything in it - metal, fibre, glass, wire crochet, embroidery - all the things that make the ebb and flo world spin on its axis. Finsihed at last and fresh out of the washer.

materials: upcycled metal mesh disc, left over steel beading wire, shetland wool, eyelash yarn, glass beads, silverplated wire and a brooch pin on the reverse

... and it very cutely says "ebb" across the front

Oh I love the texture of that pin Amanda!!! Just gorgeous. It must be great to be able to meet up with other etsians - I cannot wait for the uk etsy retreat in August - finally get to meet some of the folk I have been waffling to for a while! Have a great day!

Thank you gilfling - it all just kind of happened! I'm a non-believer in patterns so most of my stuff tends to be a happy accident hoping to meet that other special person out there who will like it. I'm totally in love with mixing media in my work.
As for the uk etsy meet up - totally jealous! Have a great time and take plenty pics/ make blog notes!!
