Wool Pennies And Skeleton Keys...


Sweet September 
I've been waiting for you !

Time to bring out the woolens...





piles of wool snippets, as wool pennies are cut...
(Go to "WOOL PENNIES",
for a simple way to cut wool pennies.)





Background wools are chosen...
Candy Apple Red Stripe
Luscious Persimmon Orange Stripe
Dusky Purple and Eggplant Plaid





I'm using mostly textures from my stash.
I used a half dollar and a dime for the penny size...





These skeleton keys are about 8 inches long
and are heavy cast iron...
when I purchased them 
(I bought every single one the shop owner had !), 
I wasn't sure what I planned on doing with them - 
But, they were calling my name...

  11. How awesome ! I have been so intrigued with keys ever since I started noticing them stitched on many early American samplers. Yours are so cool and what a special way to display them !
