Gotta Get Rolling!

Enough with the Christmas break, already! I want to get back to work. Time's a -wasting! I did these two little experiments in burned felt in the summer and want very much to do some more - serious stuff! These two were just for fun. It has been very hard to get good picures of them because of the sparkles but I think these are ok.

This is a little out of focus but I think you can see what it is . Burned and stitched acrylic felt , beaded, with Angelina fibres and melted Tyvek beads.

The whole piece

Just the centre

This is SO much fun to do. I have several more bits started but really want to do a serious piece - carefully. This is burned acrylic felt too, lots of beads and sequins mounted on silver foil organza and bits of old lace.

Spring in Autumn

I had to dig these pictures out today for a class and thought I would share them. This wood is part of a sewage treatment plant's property near Oakville ON and last year some rather extensive rebuilding of the facilities took place. I hope not too many of these beauties were destroyed. They are such elegant plants and so very deserving of our respect and protection. Enjoy and remember, after winter, comes TRILLIUMS : )

And here is a fun little piece I did based on the photos. The little Trilliums are distressed Tyvek.
