Flat Layers

This piece was created by stitching over many layers of thin muslin strips. It was then dyed, stamped and embellished.

This is from a picture I took very early one morning while walking our Bernese Mountain dogs. This is our boy Cody watching very intently as the sun rises over the hills. I made this with confetti piecing, netting , applique and Cody is made with his sister Shiloh"s puppy fir.The piece is closely quilted with many different colors.

I followed Julie Richardson's article in the Oct/Nov 2012 Quilting Arts and made a thread bowl.

I'm not much of a follow instructions type of girl, I like to rush ahead and do it my way. I had a heap of thread off cuts from my crochet work that I had been saving and when I read the article I knew these would come in useful. I only had white wool roving and no Angelina fiber. Our products in Australia are named different, but I remember I had some wash-away, so I got to work. I wasn't sure how the bowl would keep it's shape but I guess It's because you don't wash away all of the wash-away. I counted the 30 seconds in the water and took it out and put it into my salad type bowl shape, I then put another small bowl on top so the base was pushed flat. We had a super sunny day and I put it in the sun and it was all dry in 2 hours. The shape stayed !

I do think perhaps I should of put more free-motion stitching in to make it more dense. I'm happy with it. I put some sea shells in it and put it on display.

I worked this from an old family photo. The original was black and white. I chose to do it in sepia tones. I am still undecided how to fill in the large pavement space. Any ideas?

Sirena of the Sea

Sirena leapt into the seasonal series for some reason...She reclines on a fantastic rock, has her pet starfish, Punkin', and all is well under the sea.

Spring doll in the seasonal series, April Treelaine. Her beaded necklace charm reads, "Create" and April took it to heart. She is VERY pregnant. I gave her slippers, but perhaps she should be barefoot as well...

After photographing a batch of ice parfait dyed fabrics, in which I had included a piece of cheesecloth, I noticed the cheese cloth had static-clinged to the fabric. I saw a face, a mountain...so I printed the picture out on photo canvas, outlined my vision in ice parfait dyed cotton floss, and framed it. I have seen so many pictures in this method of dyeing.

Flora is a needle felted being. She and I are tired of all the 'cutesy pies' out there misrepresenting elves, fairies and wood nymphs. Flora is a REAL wood nymph, with boobs, booty and belly. Though she seems to have been out in the woods a little too long, perhaps?
