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.
I completed my little purse today. I worked on it all yesterday and some today. I did a lot of stiching on it and that is what took the most time. This is the printed fabric I demonstrated the technique on yesterday on this blog. I stamped the printing with stazon ink and some of my stamps. I used the letters printed on fabric and sewed around them after fusing them on with that fusing material. I sewed on little faux antique hearts, a button and my favorite thing: a real rusty old key. You can hardly see it here in this pic-on the right. I also sewed little jewels around two sides. This was a soothing piece of art. I had forgotten how soothing the repetitive motion of making little seams can be. It brought back memories of when I used to embroidery around printed fabric to make little pillows and baby blankets.
