Embellishments
HELLO BEAUTIES! TODAY A PLANET AND THE MOON ARE THE MOTIFS NOT ONLY FOR A WONDERFUL, QUILT TO BEGINNING ANOTHER MONDAY TOO. GREETINGS !
A couple of weeks ago I attended a Hilary Rice workshop: Imagine and Create: Embellishment Techniques for Quilters. It was great fun and I learned a lot of techniques I will use in future projects. Hilary is a great teacher and I was inspired by her techniques and art.
This is the piece that I started in the workshop .
Not all the techniques are included on this piece. Others were done on smaller pieces of fabric to experience the technique.
I’m not sure if it is finished yet. I’m going to put it up on the wall and look at it for awhile.

HI BEAUTIES, OUR SISTER ILZE IS A GREAT ARTIST AND SHE HAS PREPARED THESE GENUINE PUMPKINS FOR SHARING WITH OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU DEAR !
a day in the life of a latvian mom
These paper pumpkins are easy to make and sure looks cute. I made these as a gift wrapping for the “Little Pumpkin party” a.k. “David’s first birthday”.

FALLING INTO BED…
SO TRUE MY SISTERS, A SIMPLE STROKES OF WATERCOLOR ARE ALL YOU NEED FOR PREPARE YOUR OWN FABRICS. CHEERS!
“And some artists try to make something out of nothing, order out of chaos, demanding of themselves that they ably communicate structure and composition, colour and balance, and that each piece they create serve to communicate a predetermined issue as well. A piece of art asks people to stop and look in a world of moving images. If people take the time to pause before canvas, bronze, glass or word, a worthy effort is one which does something more than act as nonverbal panegyric to the talents of its creator. It doesn’t call for notice. It calls for thought.”
For The Sake Of Elena, (1993) Inspector Lynley series by ELIZABETH GEORGE, Mystery Writer, Novelist
My Reader wanted to know what PANEGYRIC meant. I did, too. From The OXFORD, Third Edition: n. laudatory discourse; eulogy. Now we all know and can slip panegyric snippets of floating-our-boats, long-winded sentences…

Kunin Felt Lace
HI BEAUTIES! AS YOU CAN SEE, SOME STUFF BASED WITH FELT AND LACE CAN BUILD AN AMAZING ART WORK. SEW AND ENJOY!
Been playing with foils and kunin felt lately and had a bit of fun. This was the first piece I put together:
I mounted it after stitcing onto a black painted canvas which has meade it easy to hang. I hung it where it gets lots of light so the foils sparkle. I enjoyed stitching this piece so much I had another go in a different colourway :
In this one I stitched leaves into some of the sari ribbon pieces to reflect the feature scrap of ribbon that I had. The kunin felt is foiled, free machined and then cut with a soldering iron. The melting point of kunin felt is pretty low so you have to be careful when cutting out the felt. Kunin felt is made from recycled plastic bottles (PET ones) So most of the items in this artwork are from reclaimed or recycled materials.

Thanks so much for your visits!
Shoe Drawings
HI SISTERS ! HAVE YOU TRIED TO SKETCH YOUR OWN FASHION DESIGNS? HAPPY SUNDAY!
I’m not your normal girl who swoons over shoes and has twenty pairs of heels, I have one pair of heels one pair of boots and a pair of tenner shoes, thats all I need and want. I also hate drawing shoes, so I forced myself to draw a few pairs of heels.
I did a pair of normal boots, and pair of not so normal boots and a pair of heels.
I did not design these shoes, I just drew shoes that already existed.
here are the links to where I found the pictures
