Fabric Wallhangings

My latest projects are Fabric Wallhangings using antique cabinet cards, vintage costume jewelry, laces, fabric etc.  The sewing machine has been calling my name and since I don't know how to make clothes and don't really need a lot of experience with the machine to make the wallhangings, I have been making one hanging after another. 
Here are two of the completed hangings.  They are on sale at One Real Peach in Garrettsville Ohio.  I will post more as they are completed. 

 

Free Vintage Children's Book Pages for your art!

I have uploaded a couple of vintage children's book pages for you to use in your art.  Copyright laws don't allow for these to be reproduced to be sold,  but they can be used in your own personal art.  I would love to see what you create when using them.  Enjoy!

 

Upcoming Class Offering: Springtime Calls

Hello Everyone,

If you are like me, you are tired of the cold gray weather.  So for our next class, we are going to make colorful collages with thoughts of Spring by using bright pinks, greens, blues and pictures of butterflies, birds, etc.   

Starting with a 6 x 6 canvas that I will supply, we will collage papers, and then paint on top of those.  We then may use a mask, or a woodcut to add depth. You will learn collage composition and color theory while making a piece that you will be proud to display.  I hope to see you all there.
