Remembering Art Quilts

Tea dyed fabrics, photo printed on fabric, small pieces of stamped rusted fabric, embrooidery and quilting. The photo is my husband's grandmother Julia Hingle.

Photo printed on fabric, vintage lace, crocheted trim and flower, vintage velvet ribbon and quilting.

I made this doll from a pattern called Coralee,

by Frowning Frances.

Bad hair day.

Frankie doing his usual activity of napping, woke up with messy hair.

Flowers

I've been into making flowers lately. I've been practicing my ribbon roses. I really admire georgous ribbon roses, and some of the dyed ribbons that one can buy are so luxurious but a bit pricey. But crochet thread doesn't cost much, and these crocheted flowers look so vintage.

Valentive Hearts

These hearts were my Valentine project. I made so many, it will be a while before I get them all embellished. Frankie wasn't very interested.

Fabric bracelet.

I used tea dyed fabrics and a vintage button to make this bracelet.

Paper Chairs and Dress

I made these pictures on canvas. I started with caulking in a tube, and traced an outline drawing. I let it dry and covered the whole thing with tissue paper and pattern paper. I then added color with acrylics, inks, and graphite. I've got the idea for a future project with this technique to do an old time sailing ship. That was my Dad's idea really, but I like it.
