Creating a Photo Pillow

December 15, 2011

img_001

I have another post up at the Focal Press blog Mastering Photo.  This time I’m talking about making a photo pillow to give to loved ones.  I’ve made several of these for gifts over the years, and this particular pillow I made was a request from my soon-to-be sister-in-law for my brother, who will be headed overseas after the holidays.  It will be a lovely reminder of the love waiting for him at home in such an harsh environment.

    This is so thoughtful! I know he will love it! I made a quilt last year this way. A friend had a daughter graduating from high school. It was fun going through the pictures emailed to me as well and picking the ones to use.

My mom requested I make this Swedish Braided bread with apple pie filling for her birthday this year, instead of a cake. It smells delicious and I can't wait to dig in! #birthdaytreat #swedishbraidedbread

I decided to make his ornament this year, and while I set out to make a toilet paper roll ornament, he saw white clay and assumed goose, so I made him Lucy goose. He's quite happy, and so am I. He loves our Lucy goose.

I used oven-bake polymer clay (Michael's brand was what I had on hand), acrylic paint (just the craft variety...again, what I already had on hand), and a glossy glaze (Sculpey, which I don't recommend, its gotten very thin since I last used it, it took way too many coats to be the right thickness). The ornament is about 1.5"h x 1.5"w x 0.5"deep. It was really easy to make, so don't say you can't do it. You can.

Taking advantage of my end of year time off from q Taking advantage of my end of year time off from quilting to do a little crafting. I made an ornament for Brice (which I'll share later when it's finished), and then painted these cute little canvases while my paint was out yesterday. You can see individual photos of each of them over on my other account  @christinalanecreates (grouped with the photo like this).

This is another quilt quilted for @jenny.l.barrett I felt Sashy was the right amount of modern and traditional for this quilt top. I was having a hard time picking a design for this but kept coming back to this. It's a go-to design for me and I always love it on everything. I think it ended up being pretty perfect for this. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting
