I'm trying to finish off some small projects that just need a little attention. Well, one piece needs a little attention but when you have 6 pieces, that turns into a full day's worth of attention. These are small wallart that will be wrapped on canvas for Laura's etsy shop, The Crimson Vagabond . Stop by for a quick look and if you are on etsy, be sure and Favorite Us. We need the exposure.
This week's TAST is couching so I combined that with this . . . . .
The background fabric for the scarab is some crappy fabric I overspraypainted. I have used that fabric alot! I may need to pull some other pieces out and get some more spray paint onto them.

I spent the weekend with Sophie at the Texas Quilt Museum and other quilt shows in LaGrange. Even though I am (was) suffering from a head cold, we had a good time. I did realize, though, that I seriously undervalue my work. Seriously. I don't think these will be listed in the $35 range like I first expected.
Thank you to all who are buying raffle tickets for the American Cancer Society quilt. If you make a yearly contribution to the cancer society, consider making that contribution through me. You will receive a chance(s) to win the quilt! All money will be directed to the American Cancer Society the end of April. Send checks made to ACS. Drawing for quilt is Apr 15th.
Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
Oh, my! Such dark works compared to your usual light-hearted flowers and birds and such! What do you mean, you "overspraypainted" that fabric?
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful! I LOVE them all, and definitely recognize Laura's influence.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! Love the day of the dead design!
ReplyDeleteAlways good to get out and about. Glad you and Sophie had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI "favorited" Laura's shop. I hope she does well:)
OMG I love the skulls. Where are they for sale? I really love the dark background one the most. Dibs if it isn't already gone.
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are great! I will recommend to anyone who may be in the market...
ReplyDeleteHola, te felicito por le hermosa realización de las calaveras. Saludos desde México.
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful, and I agree, $35.00 isn't enough to ask for them. Your cardinal pillow is also beautiful. Your combination of machine and hand embroidery is very harmonious.
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous. I love your use of color. How are you finishing the edges? That looks like what I want to do on a small piece of all art.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
