more fabricy stuff


I wanted to use some pretty colors... i've since cut this up a bit and used some for a class sample journal which is very nearly done.









not happy with the colors of this one, not sure what i'm going to do with it yet, maybe a background for something... ooh ooh i just thought of something! (not telling, nyah,nyah!)

















ok, haven't figured out how to get pictures where i want them, but these three are the same fabric in different stages. it will be cut up and made into a box soon.

I'm having a great time taking this class as you can see!

art!








hey, i made art! ok, not really, but it's a start. I'm taking a class through www.joggles.com with Sue Bleiweiss ( www.fiberandstitch.com ). having a great time playing with fabric, paper and liquid things (paint and glue type things)







this one is from a book from 1907 called The Brass Bowl. Coming from a long line of librarians (ok, my mom was and my sister is. and i was the children's librarian at the town library when i was in middle school) it sure was hard to tear the pages. hopefully this is a better life for it than sitting on my shelf rotting.










this is a close up (duh) but the picture and caption from the book was kinda funny.
