MY WINDOW BOX

I JUST FINISHED WORKING ON THIS PROJECT THAT I STARTED IN A CLASS LAST YEAR.
THE CLASS DESIGN CALLED FOR FLOWERS IN A WINDOWBOX, AND I WENT A BIT NUTS AND ADDED THE TALL LEAVES AND ALL THE BUGS AND MADE THE FLOWERS OVER FLOW THE BOX. I ALSO THREAD PAINTED EVERTHING WITH NEON THREAD FOR AN EXTRA "PUNCH". IT FEELS GOOD TO COMPLETE A PROJECT. I SHOULD DO IT MORE OFTEN !

FELTED FLOWERS ON SCARVES

I've been playing with my Baby Lock Embellisher more and more. This time I took a strip of 100% wool and using yarn, I free hand embellished flowers on the ends of the scarf, then loosely outlined them in free motion stitches, finally doing a decorative cut out and adding beads.

I included the backside photo to show the "water color" look that's on the reverse side.

The wool used for the scarf is smooth and soft and light weight.

ANGELINA EXPERIMENT CLOSE UP

Oh dear.....this posting is backwards.....but I decided that the first picture I took of my Angelina Fiber experiment (the picture you see below this one) didn't show much detail and I wanted to correct it. I should really think these things through before publishing them.
I applied rows of machine stitching to the surface in 4 patterns, and 4 colors.

ANGELINA EXPERIMENT

Last night I was playing with a sheet of Angelina that I had made earlier.

I was lucky enough to record a show with Christopher Nieman (the pillow/purse guy) and he used this method on a decorative pillow. I'm not "into" decorative pillows all over the place, so don't know what I'll do with this piece.......another padfolio perhaps?

DRAGONFLY PADFOLIO

I just finished this dragonfly padfolio. I'll use it as a class sample and eventually keep it for myself

Orange shoulder purse

This purse is felted wool, fully lined, zipper top and embellished with yarn, beads and a machine sewn cord.
I love doing these bags and embellishing them all in different ways so that they are all individual.
I hope to sell them locally.

Black polka dot bucket bag

This bucket bag is made of felted wool and embellished by me with wool roving.
