How to Use Feathers and Dried Flowers to Give Your Scrapbooks
an Artistic Feel
Feathers make exotic and interesting embellishments and
borders. Feathers add an air of softness. Feathers may be useful
in scrapbooks with a freedom, peace, or quiet theme. However,
colored or exotic feathers may add a touch of adventure or a
feeling of a far away land to a scrapbook page.
When gluing feathers, place a thin line of glue along the
center of the feather. Alternately, use embroidery cotton to tie
the feather in place.
Keep in mind, however, that feathers are not acid free. This
will reduce the life of your scrapbook page.
Dried flowers make elegant embellishments and accents in
scrapbooks. Flowers can be placed whole, in bunches with other
flowers, as petals, or punched into various shapes. Flowers can
be used to add a homey touch to photographs or to draw the eye
away from cluttered scrapbooks. Flowers can also be used to add
to an outdoor or elegant theme.
When gluing flowers, place a thin line of glue along the stem
or directly on each petal. Alternately, use embroidery cotton to
tie the flower or a bunch of flowers into the appropriate place
on your scrapbook.
Remember that flowers are not lignin free and acid free. This
will reduce the life of your scrapbook page.

Embroidery Designs and
Thread Colors for Machine Embroidery Sewing
I wish that I had a nickel for each time I've been asked
for the "exact" colors I used in an embroidery design or
for a conversion chart for specific embroidery thread
brands - I would be a very wealthy woman! Everyone seems to
think that someone is going to knock on their door with a
search warrant if they don't use the exact colors a
designer used in the test sew out or the color numbers used
in the stitch directions. Not so - if you don't "think
outside the box" and use colors that you enjoy, or just
prefer, you are really missing the real fun of machine
embroidery! Come to think of it, I don't believe that I've
ever used the exact color on any design I've ever stitched
in 6+ years-some because I didn't have the exact color
& others due to a dislike of the colors used.
