Share the Love - Blogger's Unite - Featured Artisan - Creations By Moonlight



Allurynn lives in Southwest Colorado with her husband and soul mate, their wonderful children, and their beloved fur children on their Alpaca Ranch. She’s been surrounded for 21 years by all the beauty that Colorado has to offer.
Crafting with her hands has been a passion of hers for many years, as well as working with a variety of mediums, all of which is inspired by nature’s beauty. She has been on her magical Goddess journey for many years now; following the rhythms and cycles of the Moon and our Mother Earth. Nature not only inspires her, but it also feeds her soul, like the creation of her art does.
Creations by Moonlight was created 8 years ago, a place where she can share her passion and love of handcrafted items to inspire, honor and adorn the Goddess in every woman, be it through her jewelry or unique treasures. Her art is a reflection of her own spirituality and vision. Each piece of art is handcrafted and designed by the flow of energy at the moment of creation, inspired by nature’s beauty and enhanced by the colorful mountains and landscapes of Colorado. She allows her inner Goddess to reflect love and joy through her paintings and paper art and through her jewelry she allows the Goddess within to honor the Goddess in every woman.
As a result of this unique blend and the nature of wire wrapping, no two designs are exactly alike. Making one of-a-kind pieces of art allows for uniqueness and individuality. It gives her great joy to offer these magical creations of art, which she believes has a voice of their own, each humming their own beautiful tune…just listen and enjoy!

Original Court & Spark Dala Horse Lavender Bag Tutorial

Here's my original tutorial - a version of which was published in Sew Hip Issue 30 July 2011.

This tutorial is for lavender hangers made using a horse design but it could easily be applied to any other shape or piece of fabric you like...

Step 1
  • Choose the horse or other shape on the cloth you want to use and cut out a square around it.
  • Cut a matching square of backing fabric.
  • Cut ribbon to required length (mine is approx. 25 cm)

Step 2
  • Place the pieces right sides together and pin at the bottom.
  • Fold fabric apart.
  • Place ribbon against right side and pin in place (as above). 
  • Fold fabric back together remembering to roll up the ribbon so it doesn't get caught up in the stitching.

Step 3
  • Pin - I usually pin across the outline of the horse shape but if the shape looks faint or you feel unsure, you can always trace the outline first with some tailor's chalk.

Step 4
  • Taking your time, machine stitch carefully around the outline of the horse leaving an approx. 1.5 cm gap along the belly for stuffing. 

Step 5
  • Remove pins and trim seams.

Step 6
  • Turn right side out and press if required.

Step 7
  • Generously stuff the the horse with a mix of lavender and polyfill - doing this inside a clear plastic bag saves a lot of mess (!)

Step 8
  • Hand stitch the gap closed using ladder stitch and sew button in place to finish.

End


Admire your handiwork!

Court & Spark Lavender Dala Horse Tutorial in Sew Hip Issue 30 - a bit disappointing...

Nice of them to let me know but I thought I'd just share that my Dala Horse Lavender Bag tutorial was included in Issue 30 of Sew Hip which I believe has been out for a little while now... It's all a bit disappointing as there is no mention of Court & Spark - only some lovely free mentions for three of my suppliers - ? And all my hard work photographing the tutorial has been replaced by some (in my opinion) quite scrappy illustrated diagrams :(

I am going to post my original tutorial here on the blog on Wednesday.

Anyway at least the little horses made the front page...(!)
