Mothers

I was drawing some organic body shapes one morning and no matter how I tried I kept ending up with pregnant women. So this is how it ended up.

Sketch

This is a sketch of for my next art quilt. Just need to come up with a background. Any ideas?

Art Quilt

Zentangles! I thnk I'm addicted. This quilt was inspired by a small picture on the back of a Zentangle book and a collage painting by Judy Skeel.

Bird Mobile

I made some fabric paper last week and this is what I did with it! It will hang in my living room.

Mixed Media Doll

I first saw these little dolls in an article in Cloth Paper Scissors. I think it was in the fall 2009. Sorry, but I can not remember the name of the artist. I've adapted the pattern some and I am now adding driftwood arms and legs. They are a little wierd. But, I love them!

Faux Zentangle Ladies

I have been playing with zentangles lately. I saw a very small image on the back of a book I liked. I drew it up and made this small quilt. I appliqued the ladies and did some quilting on the background fabric. I embellished it with beads, pearls, crystals, old jewelry and some fibers and letter tiles I bought in the scrapbooking depatment at Michaels. This was a very fun project!

Selvage Edge Tablerunner

I made this tablerunner with the selvage edges I cut from my fabric when I purchase it. The applique is an image from a rubber stam the I enlarged. I will make placemats to match.

Maggie, a little angel

This little angel is from a pattern by Jill Mass

Hand Dyed Scarves

I bought some bamboo and cotton knit and dyed it in plastic bags with procion dyes. I then stenciled them with Shiva paintsticks. Hope they sell!

Newest Doll

My dolls were accepted into a local art gallery. I only have a few left, but, I'm sure having them there will inspire me to do more!
