Feathered Elegance



Its been a very busy week.  The painters finally came to paint the house, and all the plumbing work we planned for the summer has been done.

 

 

I've started working on my "Tall Ship" silhouette.  The silhouette will be made from an actual picture provided by Helen Mott, one of my co op artist friends.  In the meantime, visit the Miniatures Gallery to see the most recent addition. 

Cardinals

I spent the day gardening, so I have not accomplished much in the way of fabric art today. 

I've just added this to the Mini Gallery, and will start working on my other ones this week

Noel...And Merry Christmas to You, Too.

I'm having such a great time creating these miniatures.  Its so much fun to go through my stash of fabrics with an eye to what would make great small pieces, and finding bits and pieces that I thought I was finished with, and give them a second life.

Here is "Noel".  It has now been posted to the Mini Gallery.  Watch for "Spring is Coming" and "Cardinals".

Two New Miniatures in the Works!

I've just finished two new miniatures.  "Noel" is an outdoor Christmas scene in a small New England Town, complete with a tree in the town square.  Decorated with Swarovski crystals, of course.

"Spring is Coming"  is a winter scene with a brook and some embroidered cardinals.

Both are 8" square and are suitable for display on a table top easel.

Pictures to follow soon.

Midnight in the Bayou and Fire and Ice - Cardinals in Winter

I have added two more pictures of my fabric art to the "Art Galley".  I hope you enjoy them.

I have to say that the picture of "Midnight in the Bayou" does not do it justice, but I have tried to bring out the colours as best I could.  This is one of those things that must be seen to appreciate it.

Fire and Ice was the first large piece that I worked with, and it was a challenge.  It took about 25 hours to sew on all of the beads.
