V-Day Gifts

I have found a great new product for paining on fabric, Winsor Newton's Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour Starter Set. Who said oil and water don't mix. I got the idea for these gift for my co workers from Cloth Paper ScissorsJan./Feb 2013.

 

 

Then I am adding some rubbins with my new rubbing plates and Shiva's Artist's Paintsik.

Here is the work after just painting the hearts. And I found the trick is to purchase fabric that is dye ready, I ordered Kona as I love the weight of it. Even after washing reg. Kona all water based painted sit on the surface.

 

I will add more pictures later.

 

It Has Been Too Long!!!

Ying & Yang

New work, 5/20/2012

Something for the office! I have a small 10" wall that I look at all day covered in borning fabric. I wanted to surround myself with something pertty!

Screen printing, stamping, stencil work, aluminum, and wood.

LoneStar College

I recieved an email last month from Susan Ouren the head of the Interior Design Department at Lone Star College asking if I would like to show the work I did in school as well as my quilts. Well Duh!?! I jumped at the chance! I took up my best school work and let her pick which pieces she wanted to show and I laid out a few of my art quilts.

I knew if I was going to be showing my are quilts I would have to show the minis. Over the past two years when I made them I have given thought to how to best display them as a group. And what you see below is what I felt would work best. I stitched them to hardware cloth. The work hard to be a compact as it could to be shown as one piece but it still measures 42”x 48”. When it comes home in a couple of weeks it will be hung in my dinning room. I hope all those who have asked how it would be displayed agree…this works!

New & Not So New Work

These are older pieces that have been hanging on my wall. "Koi Pond" will get some rubbing at some point and I will post when I get there. "The Love You Threw Away" is the 1st in a series I have rolling around my head.

The Love You Threw Away

Color Study 1 (working title) is the latest piece. I had created two of the patterns months ago and just got the third pattern done while I was working on the piece post earlier this month "The Rest of the Story".

Here are a few things I made of Valentine's Day this year. Thanks to Pinterest and Cricut!

The rest of the story

The finished work working with my screen printing. I made two rubbing plates, one with squares and the other with pennies. matched the shapes and the colors. Then I stamped each piece with a piece of packing material for the curtain rod the held Jeanne's quilt in her bedroom. Cut one piece horizontal, the other vertical, and wove them together. Now is where I get stuck, how to quilt them...what pattern...?

plus this

equals this.
