Fabric hanging

This is a fabric wall hanging I made at a Crafty Individuals course a few weekends ago. The two pieces of fabric are silk, and I painted the front one with silk paints. Torn up handmade paper was then stuck onto the silk. The images are stamped onto tissue paper, and stuck onto the silk with spray mount. The whole thing was then adorned with buttons, stitching, and beads. It was then atached to the backing silk, just at the top, so they both hang free. It was great fun to do. Some of the beads on the hanging threads to the left are home made out of handmade paper, to match the ones on the hanging. The hanging is approx 2ft long. If you click on the image you can see it a lot better.

Shades of white fabric swap

These are three fabric ATCs that I have made for a swap, called Shades of white. First of all I had to forcefully remove the sewing machine from the cupboard, where it had been sleeping since we moved here two years ago. I then had to read the manual to find out how to wind thread onto the spool. That being achieved I then had to figurte out how to do zig zag stitch. For someone who used to made all the family clothes, this was pathetic. They haven't scanned very well, but they are all white
