Stenciling fabric

I think I mentioned a few posts back that I had bought a few yards of black ultrasuede from the fabric store that was going out of business in my area. Well I've been meaning to do some painting on it and so this morning I broke out the paint and stencils.  A while ago [...]

A new piece of art &an interview

I've been a fan of Karen's work for a while now.  I don't think she's ever posted a piece of work that didn't make me stop and say WOW. So I'm thrilled beyond description to now have a piece of her work to display in my home:

"Fragments #9"

This is from her "Fragments"[...]

Building houses…

This week I've been working on making some more samples for the Creative Box Making class. I needed to make another house box because I didn't take any photos when I made the first couple. So ….

gift journals

Last week I made a couple of journals to give as gifts:

I used black ultrasuede on this first one. It was the first time I used a fabric on a hard cover journal and it worked beautifully.  The key is from Tinsel Trading and is covered with glass glitter. It really sparkles. The [...]
