There isn't a better way to begin Summer vacation than to complete a triathlon (for Slackers! - Really, it's called "Life's A Beach Triathlon") and then crafting with a whole bunch of wonderful ladies - and man! Today, our featured craft was thread art.
After I sprinkled baby powder like a mad woman (best, and fastest, way to remove sand), I got myself together and headed down the street to help set up for our party.
So, the last two parties, I think I have been extremely hungry and have forgotten to take pictures of our delicious meal! Tonight, we enjoyed a taco bar, complete with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, delicious - but not so healthy - queso cheese dip....hmmm. My mouth is watering just thinking about our dinner!
After dinner, we gathered our supplies and began to brainstorm and print out templates for our creations that we nailed into reclaimed barn wood. The wood had so much character. You could actually see the saw marks and some pieces even had a silver shimmer. Pretty cool!
After the design was nailed into the wood, the paper template was torn away (or not), and we used thread to outline the nail design and fill the positive or negative space with thread.
Although this craft required concentration, stamina, very intricate work, the end results were well worth it! Impressive!
