Frida Kahlo's Birthday


July 6th was Frida's birthday. I finished this Frida house this weekend to honor her. Frida was such an interesting person. I have always enjoyed learning about her and studying her art. Happy Belated Birthday Frida! Short entry today, gotta go for my morning walk! Happy Hump Day All!

Ignorant me had to google Frida Kahlo to see who she was. Now I can appreciate your colorful Frida house! I'd love a post about why you chose what you did for the house and how you made it. Love your creativity!

This is very cool. I was never into Frida, but I can certainly see why one would enjoy learning and studying her art. Happy Hump Day back at 'cha.

I love that you mentioned Frida's B-day, I made 2 tributes to her this week and am working on another. Frida IS MY MUSE! Thankyou for sharing and check mine if you have the time:) I walk in the mornings too, and am still on the look-out for a solo sole;) there were 2, a brown flip-flop and a wee pink croc the week before your request, but now they are gone...how and why are a mystery...Lisa

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

About Sewing on Vinyl

The top handbag is my most recent piece of art. LOL.   Sewing on "marine vinyl" is not for the weak hearted. I had to "google" every trick in the book. You need to understand some of the basics of Vinyl before you start a project. I'm telling you this because I started the project before I knew.....which is typical of all of my projects. First, let me just say that vinyl is sticky and does not like to feed forward. It sticks and refuses to move without feeding with your hand from the back side and pulling from the other hand from the inside. Plus, after much research.....I learned that you must get a teflon foot which helps to feed the material through. You can also tape your foot with scotch tape-but the teflon foot was like 3.00 and well worth it. You will also want to do some trials on some pieces of the fabric (vinyl) that you are going to use to test out the tension and stitch length. Apparently, the weight of your thread is important, and you wa...

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.
