Crafters’ corner 2020

Wow, love the crisp detail you have produced @Snorky85 . Looking forward to seeing finished coin.
What was a death penny?

 

Well I think the official term is a memorial plaque but the nickname is a death penny. Given to the relative of the soldiers who died in WW1

 

That's turned out really well Snorky. I presume being a plaque there is nothing on the other side?

 

That's right Sheal-they're just plain on the other side. Which I'm pleased about as I'd have had to faff about with a different type of moulding! The silicone stuff is brilliant.

 

That looks great @Snorky85

 

I decided to make Mum a granny square blanket, similar to the one her mother made me when I was a child.

so I gave Mum this last month, whilst I was with her.

A friend saw it, and said “why don’t you do heart squares to go round it?”. I didn’t want to make it much bigger (the idea is that it’s smaller and more manageable than a fleece...) so I made a second one with hearts...

 

They are brilliant @Sian in Belgium !! What a lovely idea. I bet your mum really loved them x

 

That's beautiful @Sian in Belgium

 

Loving all the crafty things. Not sure whether this falls under craft but when lockdown occurred, apart from hours in the garden, I dusted off my paint brushes. I hadn't painted for about 30 years. The miniatures are all local scenes... County Antrim. The cathedral is Lincoln with the red arrows going over.

 

They're amazing is the last one you?@SandyNI and painting does come under craft.

 

They are beautiful Sandy!

 

Aww they're great. Especially love the Lincoln Cathedral one...being my hometown

 

@Logan It's a friend... done for her birthday.

@Snorky85 This one is for my daughter who had her wedding photos in the grounds of the cathedral and now lives next door to the red arrows!

 

Please have a peep at. Etsy. Some of the products by my granddaughter.

 

@SandyNI it's Great
