Latest work is complete!

"Making a Quilt"

Inside area of this wall hanging is 13×21”, I haven’t decided if it will be quilted or framed yet or if the border that’s on it will be staying or changed.
The curtains are hand sewn, as is the padded cornice, tie backs are fuzzy artificial flowers, bunny slippers were hand sewn from batting, felt and emb. floss, chair is padded, items on bookshelf include pieces of shells and a button. The round piece of wall art is also a button, and the chest of drawers has small wooden beads as handles. Most of the fabrics are cotton.

new fabric work!

As you may have noticed I haven't done anything with fabric in a very long time. Actually haven't really done anything in a long time, but I decided that had to change!
So the first photo is what I decided to do to break the long dry spell.
This is loosely based on me in the process of creating a piece on the design wall..

And here is what I did yesterday...took me roughly 4 hours just to choose fabrics for this! And then what fun all the cutting and fusing, but so worth it as finished work began to emerge :-D
Still quite a bit to do on it, but I'm very happy with how it is coming out.
Oh and I must say that I can't take credit for the IDEA...a fellow member of the fastfridayfabric challenge group did something similar last year for one of the challenges and I knew that someday I wanted to do a version of my own.

here is what I added today, took a long time to make the bunny slippers!
Hoping to show more on this later today...

sick again

Why is it that every time I have lots of things I want to get done I get sick?
Have been spending most days laying either in bed or on the couch, one good thing though, these inactive days have allowed my mind to wander and explore possibilities. One hit me the other day and I began looking online for things related.
So I shall soon be experimenting and posting results, probably next week, hopefully I will feel better by then.
A small hint, experiments will use my love of photography, colored pencils and fabric art.
Another good thing about not feeling well and doing a lot of sitting is it gives me the incentive to do more crocheting, because I HAVE to do SOMETHING you know? So I have been making up more squares for my afghan, and last night I started a small weaving project which will be finished tonight, if it turns out the way I hope that will be posted later on too.
Hmmm, maybe being sick isn't as bad as I thought!
Stay tuned for further developments :-)
