Tag Tuesday -- Music

Michele has chosen music for the theme this fortnight on Tag Tuesday. I have very little in the music line in my craft stuff, so didn't find this very easy. For this one I used a distress inked background and pasted some napkin and music onto it before adding the ballerina. To finish off I stamped some piano keys and musical notes.

Every Inchie Monday -- Goose

Goose is the theme this week on Every inchie Monday. My stampbord one is drawn and coloured and the sewn one is all stitches. The goose is something I have never wanted to own, ducks we had but geese are so noisy. They make very good guards as they let you know immediately when someone is around, that is if you can put up with their aggressive attitude as well.

Tag Tuesday -- Book Print.

This is my second one for Sandie's theme of Book Print on Tag Tuesday. The background is distress inked and then the book print added. I then adhered the leaves from the garden with acrylic wax top and bottom, which should preserve them.
I added some flowers and wooden words to finish off.

Fabric book with Annie.

Annie and I have stopped doing the postcards now and have embarked on a small fabric book. This will take the form of us trying a different page every month on the technique and style of textile artists we like.
The first one is Hillary Beattie whose style we like a lot. I have made several of them so far and will put them on my blog later. At the moment I am trying to figure out how to bind my book together aa it does not lend itself to a normal binding technique.

This the one I made for Annie.

Thursday Journal with Neet

This week the theme was chosen by Neet and the two colours are orange and red with a third one of your own choice. The word is Autumn.
I have chosen brown as my third colour and have use a Dylusion tree for the main image. The dog and cat stamps are a mixture of Dylusions and Tim Holtz.
The paint I used is also Dylusions.

Every Inchie Monday -- Owl

A lovely one to do this week as I love owls. My stampbord one is shrink plastic and the sewn one, hand stitches to simulate feathers. It's on a felted background.
I am away for the weekend until Tuesday so this is a scheduled post.

Another textile experiment.

This one was made with the help of texture paste through a stencil, and a build up of fabrics onto the top of the substate fabric. Puff paint was then added around the added pieces of fabric to hide the edges, and the whole piece was covered with black chiffon sewn and then melted with a heat gun. I added some hand stitching and beads to finish off.

I want to do this piece again, as I now realise how I could improve it, especially the colours.
