Painting With Fabric

 A Saturday afternoon project inspired by the work of Janet Bolton. I loved the idea of using this Nani Iro fabric as an abstract  landscape for a collaged bird made from silk and cotton remnants and netting.





There is a layer of pink netting appliqued on top of part of the bird.

Spoonflower Flying Birds Fabric

, spoonflJust received my yardage of the Flying Birds fabric I ordered through Spoonflower. It is now available for sale in my shop.  The scale is very large - each bird about 6" wide. I can't wait to find the perfect project for it.

"Vintage" Snails

Woke up to this adorable dress in my flickr group this morning. I haven't seen this fabric crop up in a long while. I love the fabric stash in the background of the picture and how the swirl of the snail is capping the right sleeve. Adorable!
