This one is a photo on cardstock of my painting and then fabric and painted papers and some little feathers thrown in and the text...i will never stray ALL the way from fabric, it's in my blood!
these works are almost done...
This is a photo on postcard paper, of another one of my paintings...it was one of my favorites that i was going to keep, but something fell on it and STUCK to it and WRECKED it...ergo...i had to turn PART of it into SOMETHING...
On the top right and the right side are my nana's pieces of quilt that weren't finished before she died...each one of those teeny little pieces are hand stiched by her and then the fabric was ironed ready to be pieced. i have been saving these and another from her hands to make things for my family, passing down treasured pieces from our Nana!
christmas gifts for those i love...
A very happy monday to my blogging FRIENDS!
