My best of intentions have already flown out the window! I had intended to update this blog at least every other day - but with this past week being so busy with packing up bears to get off to collectors - I havent had time for much else.
The picture on the left is a fabric book which I made as a sample for one of my online classes. Its a really fun book to make as it includes lots of different materials and techniques. I included pictures of my family printed on organza and fabrics and just had fun with each page really.
My mother loves it and Im tempted to give it to her - but I also really like it myself and dont keep much of my work. She will be 80 - next April and David (son) suggested that I made one for her. What a great idea - solved that problem of what to buy! I will include lots of family stuff that she will love. Better than giving her this one I think.
The other photo shows a trio of 'reworked' objects which is the basis of another class. I had fun transforming an old picture frame, a paper mache chest and a sketch book into something pretty to have around the house. I used a postcard of a fox to fill the frame as we have a family of foxes visiting our garden regularly and they are just fascinating to watch. The frame etc includes transfer foils, FME and 3D poppies.
Must get the workroom really really sorted out - so much stuff around that I probably dont need any more. Having said that - you know what happens as soon as you throw something out ........... maybe hang on to some of it at least!
Really looking forwards to starting my C & G course now. Am getting up to date with finishing all the unfinished projects so I have a clear desk ready to start.
