Black Lace Shirt Extender

Before now I've added batik fabric to the bottom

 of a few of my blouses

and have been happy with the result.

Now I've sewn a black lace onto the bottom

of a camisole so it can be worn under

all my shirts.  Very simple quick solution.

Surface Design Group - Shiva Paint Sticks

Surface Design Group played with 

Shiva Paint Sticks this month. 

 I've seen demos yet this was my first time using them.

I used a friends hand made texture plate and a purple color on 

a hand dyed fabric where I wanted more purple. 

I also experimented on a commercial white on white fabric

hoping for a batik effect. 

I also experimented with cork letters (HOPE, LIFE)

my swirl stamps, rug canvas, gingko leaf texture plate,

hand made metal washer plate and a bathtub drain.

Through the fun I learned to look more decerningly for texture options,

I'm not sure I like that these take 3 days to dry yet after

washing  they are supposed to have a nice feel and be very stable. 

Who else has tried Shiva Paint Sticks. I'd enjoy to read your thoughts about them.

Chloe & Nana Scarfs In Local Shop

Last year, I created a red scarf re-purposing batik strips 

and I wear it quite a bit.  I always receive favorable comments on it.

Now, my granddaughter and I create them together to sell.

Currently we put 20 of them in Cherry Street Kids Shop

in 3 different colors - red, green & black.

What a fun adventure.

Quilted Bow Ties

I met a first grade teacher of a local school who

 wears a unique bow tie

to teach daily. 

 He is hoping to eventually have 180 different ties for each school day of the year.

He's created ones from Playing cards, maps, legos, pencils and other elements. 

I wanted to add to his collection since he didn't have any quilted ties yet. 

His school colors are red and black and his college alma mater are Purple and Gold.   

The blue one is in there just for extra. I love this example of a fun teacher.

Real Leaf on Hand Dyed Fabric

No surprise that living in WNC I enjoy leaves 

and often incorporated them and nature in my Fiber Art.

This is a real leaf that I preserved on hand

dyed fabric mounted on a black cradle board.

The fall leaves here have been wonderful!
