Mixed Media Creation

This Mixed media creation will soon be a purse. It is created with painted fabric, rubber stamp images, collaged images, sewing and quilting.

Flower art quilt

I just got a floral instructional DVD from: http://www.quiltingarts.com/shop/QuiltingArtsWorkshopDVDs.html and wanted to try some of these techniques. I made a small mixed media art quilt from some sun dyed fabric that I had. The sun dying was done from a kit that I found at Micheals. The fabric was also stamped with a fern stamp. The flowers were created with bits of fibers and trims. Tulle was placed over flowers before quilting. See DVD for full instructions. I will also add some embroidered butterflies in the next couple of days.

Paper bag Book

This is my start at a paper bag book that I started a while ago and plan to finsh in the near future using some cricut cutouts as well as other techniques. This little book is truly mixed media. The binding of the book is actually cooper tape used to hold pipes, etc. The cover is covered with old pattern pieces and pattern envelope pieces. Old letter tiles, a knob are other elements used on the cover. Inside the journal quilting scrap pieces and embroidery "trials" are used for the pockets. The butterfly tag has a baby picture of me and is transferred to clay using tape transfer.

Felted good luck Fairy

Here is my first try at felting. This felted fairy is mounted on a block that has been predrilled to allow the creature to stand. An old clip earring makes a great bouquet.
