Pin-Pricking and Pergamano

Posted by Unknown
The craft group met for a special event with our "Crafting Mama", Jean, who showed us how to do two projects. In a beautifully sun-warmed conservatory we enjoyed the lunch items we had brought then moved on to the business of the day.

Firstly pin-pricking from a pattern with decoupage in the centre.

Secondly Pergamano. Well, my white gel pen wouldn't work. Then I didn't get on at all with pen nib and white ink, it was like being back in primary school with a scratchy nib (showing my age there!). So I left finishing tracing the pattern till I ordered a new white gel pen. The pen has arrived and I hope to finish tracing, embossing and pin-pricking/tearing to show Jean that I really did finish my card. Craftywhippet finished hers with only a teensy slip of the tearing...

Very pretty! I had to google pergamano. It looks like it's done on vellum. Also very pretty. Looks like both take a lot of patience, but worth the effort. :)
