I captured this frost with my the camera on my phone!  The camera that you have with you is truly the best camera!  I am quite pleased with this. I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

February Bead journal

Image
I went for wintery colors for this piece.  I also incorporated another vintage earring.  Hours and hours of stitching go into these pieces.  It is a good thing I find hand stitching so relaxing!  Again this piece will go on my crazy quilt project for the month.  I will have all four seasons covered by the time I finish.

I hope you aren't tired of my book pages yet.  I am having a lot of fun with them.  This page has two of my hand painted fabrics quilted together.  I have also applied a tag that has beads and leaf sequence attached. I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Funky fabric book page

Image
The fabric back ground is a monoprint with pencil crayon added as well as hand quilting.  The large shape (seems too large now) is gelli plate printed, handmade paper.  I did not capture the sparkle of the thread or paint that is on it.  Now I am not liking it so much and think I may add some beads for more sparkle!

I get so excited when my work is accepted into a show!  As my son said it means somebody, somewhere thinks my work is better than the work of someone else.  Anyway, art is not a competition and I would do it just for myself.  This image is of rust and pealing paint.  I had it printed onto a 16x20 canvas.  It will be hanging at a show at city hall this spring.

Another book page

Image
This page includes hand painted fabric and paper.  The butterfly is created by fusing two pieces of sheer fabric together.  There is some glitter sandwiched between the two pieces before fusing.  I then cut out the butterfly and the edges remain stable because of the fusing.

I am making headway on fabric book.  This page is mono printed fabric with colored pencil and hand stitch.  I have also added a small piece of paper.  I really enjoy connecting fabric and paper in my work. I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/
