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.

I love mixing painting and fabrics. We saw this mountain girl when we lived in Montana. The collage is inspired by my original photograph

decorative pillows

I hope you enjoy my new pillows.

I tried to use an old experiment of wax painting which I made few years ago - the piece of hand painted fabric stayed sad in a corner almost neglected, untill in a day when I decided to bring it to life.

Thank you for visit.

So Sweet!

Thank you, Pokey Bolton for writing about candy wrappers as great mixed media fodder. I titled this little quiltlet 'Midnight in the Garden of Ferraro Rocher'. Only the fake leaves and the eyelash yarn edge finish did not come from the happily consumed box of chocolates!

Shore Bits is one in a series of mixed media art pieces my son and I collaborated on. His photograph is sandwiched and mounted to my hand painted whole cloth quilt. This piece also has ribbon and seed bead embellishments. It was blocked with ripples for a more dimensional appearance. It is mounted on a hard back board with picture hanger wire.

Two jewels

I combined a hand painted background with a small collaged piece using an old hummingbird painting, some stamping and several different types of papers. I added an old pink bracelet to the side of the piece. Then I attached it all to a pink piece of eco-felt. I would call it a sampler project to try out new things. The eco-felt is very stiff and it makes a perfect background to attach small projects to.

8 1/2" x 10" Thread painting on photo canvas, framed and matted. Has the look and feel of tapestry there is so much thread involved!

Nature Embellishments

Raft bundles

These are some little raft bundles I made with red willow, leaves and threads.

I added little snippets of text. They are small, about 3 inches long I think I can use then on journal covers, art quilts, and add them to assemble pieces. I may be thinking of the tsunami and all the people bundling up their possessions and little fragments of their life. I find my thoughts are often first revealed in my art work.

Do you find your art is affected by what is happening in your environment?

I know that when it is winter my palette is pale as the snowy landscape. About March, much like a plant, I begin to feel the urge of spring and my palette begins to brighten. The first green pushing up through the earth remind me…Oh yes, there is color! I see the red of the robin’s *** and a flash of bluebird, and their colors begin to appear in my palette. Spring is here.

Cloth Paper Journal covers

cybersue — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 07:14:44 GMT

First I made a variety of cloth papers then embellished a couple to make some very wild looking journal covers. I have used metal tape, spray ink, walnut ink, found objects, coarse gel medium, sequins....

Autumn

joraines — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 14:59:16 GMT

This piece is part of my self-challenge this year to Make Art Daily. Part of that is learning new mixed media techniques such as the faux cloisonne piece using chipboard, UTEE, a heat gun, mica powders, Versamark and a rubber stamp with gold pigment ink. I also made molds of my vintage picture buttons using Amazing Mold Putty and polymer clay painting them with black gesso and metallic gold paint and sealing them with gloss acrylic sealer. The photo of Alphonse Mucha's Autumn was printed using Printed Treasures and enhanced with acrylic and metallic paint and Pigma Pens. Other materials include cotton fabric, batting, organza, woven plaid, metal leaf charm, glass beads, cheesecloth and hand and machine sewing and machine quilting. It is self-bound and measures 10" x 12 3/4". Small pieces like this allow me to incorporate new techniques, use scraps and accomplish a piece in a smaller amount of time than when making a large quilt or thread painting.
