Key 1905 and the Completion of the Fuzzy Posters

Since starting this journey of making 5000 keys I’ve explored a variety of methods making ten keys ten ways: rust prints, paper, flowers… I thought I’d do another “ten keys ten ways” series but this time I’d use craft techniques I loved as a child

After two years of thinking and planning I have finally (finally) worked my way through this series. Initially I had more than ten things to try but in the end I decided not to make keys from paper snowflakes, pom poms, or icing (I particularly loved decorating cakes when I was eleven years old but I’ve sort of already done a bit of that with this project) My plans grew so much that I actually ended up exploring eleven methods instead of the usual ten:

• colouring book

• woodburning (pyrography)

• string art

• dip-it keys

• doodle art poster

• petit point

• embroidery

• sun prints

• faux stained glass

• spirograph

• fuzzy posters

I often ended up with way more than 10 keys for some methods because it was just so, much. fun! (Although there were many times when I questioned the wisdom of trying to embroider the poster design).

At last I have completed the fuzzy posters and Key 1905!
