Please enjoy an over view of some of the various crafts I have fooled around with. I plan on doing a separate post with an over-view of fabric art projects.
Wreath of pine cones & accented with tiny cones & nuts.
Wreath of baby’s breath spray painted black with figure.
Fabric mask used in mixed media collage.
Gauze fabric mask created with white glue over plastic mask mold.
Fabric and yarn bowl trimmed in buttons.
Closer view of the fuzzy yarn trimmed bowl edge.
Hand made art pin of woods from fabric transfer and painted lace for the frame.
Mixed media art jewelry from an old postage stamp & bottle cap.
Fish started by accident using piece of machine stitched lace sewn on shaped wire, stitched over painted twig coral on organza amid bead bubbles.
Created a doll of one of my sons without a pattern and dressed in cloth from his recycled clothes.
Handcrafted tree top angel.
Fabric art & crafted mother in garden of children.
Girl skull pin from air clay & dolls hair.
Decorated fabric cuff.
Altered photograph in a wood frame with glue gun scrolling and gold paint.
Painted glue gun winter artscape.
Experimenting with air clay by Crayola.
How I used to use natural dyes & watered down acrylics to color some used fabric softener sheets for later collage use.
painted fabric flowers attached to branches.
I used to watch those Quilting Arts programs on PBS for years which gave me so many ideas to play with. Working in mixed media was making me such a pack rat because there are so many ways to repurpose items and just another way to recycle. Since I’ve temporarily moved to an apartment I had to downsize but decided to start selling more of my art or finished pieces because I created but then didn’t want to part with most of my creations unless they were gifts. I would rather make space for more things to create with than to keep holding on to that which is finished, done, over, unless I’m really in love with it.
God bless!
