REALISATION: Blog entry 43

Completed bird food bags 

Today I finished all the major bits for my out come! Above are the filled seed packets, and below is the start of the tea up bird feeder, re-done to match the final pattern that I decided to go with. I also picked up my sample fabric (to test before getting it actually printed), and ordered my fabric to use with the rest of my out come. Hopefully, this will come in time for me to make what I need to. If not, I will just have to go ahead with out it. It's not the end of the world, but I just think that having a basket lining will add a nice touch to my outcome, but also give an example of my pattern on fabric as well as packaging  - something that if the project was to ever go any further, I would have liked to experiment with.

I'm glad that I went with the coloured pattern - it just works much better than the black and white. I'm really pleased with how this looks, although I have chosen to have my final pattern printed on a higher quality fabric, as this was really thin and felt really naff.

These aren't the best photos; the weathers has been rubbish, so I didn't bother to take my good camera with me, really I just needed to document them for now, and see if the glue would hold, and also the chain to hang them with. Should I decided to take these further, I will do some much nicer photographs (assuming we actually have nice weather that is..).

As well as he tea cups that I painted myself, I also bought some from antiques shop to experiment with also. These are nice and all, but I think I prefer the ones with my own pattern on - fits better with the rest of the project, and my goal to have all of my items with my pattern spread across them.
