As stated in my previous post, the last number of years have all been a blur.
I have never been so disorganized and out of touch and this is such a bad time to be this way. I am now in the process of cleaning everything out and packing as I go along, expecting to be moving before the end of the year. Certainly before winter sets in again.
I wanted to share some of the projects I have been working on sporadically since sometime last year as well as other odds and ends. This blog may be a blur as well.
I’ll miss my vintage hardware. So many replace these after purchasing older homes.
The doors are rather narrow and I refuse to take them off everytime I have to move furniture.
I have been working on multiple projects on canvas with various mediums, sewing with fabrics, actually made some bead jewelry with supplies purchased years ago and tried my hand with polymer clay.
Parts of collage I started right after my sister passed early in 2014
Using photo transfers of various kinds.
Using modeling paste on some of the tombstones surrounding
words tapped in thin metal.
Click on thumbnails for full size.
An Oil I need to finish from the 1970’s.
Transfers, paint and glue completed in 2013.
Simply stamps and metallic paint
on a black canvas
Large collage in progress.
Textured papers, some mulbury and ink.
Love working with textured papers and transfers.
Stamped metalic rose leaves with red rose transfer.
The following are various sewing projects.
Valance with tea stained mulsin, transfers, paint and stitching.
Another nature inspired valance.
Pillow free hand with paint and stitching on muslin.
Pillow with transfer of historic Plymouth home, since destroyed.
Old kimono deconstructed for damaged lining. Cleaned and ready to be restitched.
Blouse repurposed from 1980’s skirt.
Scarf repurposed from sweater.
One of many aprons.
See if you can spot the error on this apron.
Working on various cuffs.
1980’s silk pants being upcycled to scarf. Love the images on them!
Very pleased with my second attempt at polymer clay jewelry! This was after I burnt a batch in an old toaster oven with messed up thermostat.
A couple of craft type projects.
Hardest part of Santa doll was the hair!
Old World Santa.
Upcycled oak table someone threw away with layers of paint.
Tried to add an oriental flavor, but was not happy with the results.
Covered it over with tissue and acrylic lacquer to protect.
Not going to miss frost on my windows, no matter how beautiful it is.
I’m going to end this blur of a post with a question.
