Whimsical Collage

Just finished this lovely work using one of my favorite quotes.

Lots of hand sewn details...

mother of pearl buttons, found objects, rusty elements,

antiqued lace, abaca paper and birds nest paper...

just to name a few.

This piece was inspired by some of the techniques I learned

at Collage Camp from KC Willis.

For the photographs I used TAP (transfer artist paper)

from Lesley Riley. I was a little skeptical a first as I have always

printed my images directly on fabric but I was pleasantly

surprised with the results.

The images transferred beautifully and it was a snap to use!

My favorite part of this collage was trying out some of the incredible

stitches on my new Husqvarna! It amazes me what

a sewing machine can do...

especially since my old machine only had a couple basic stitches.

Now all I need is a better camera as the photographs are still

BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS...

Vintage fabric collage assemblage created on a quilted base...

Hand sewn vintage lace, fabric trim, silk flowers, beads, buttons,
rusty embellishments, fabric mesh, metallic and silk fabrics
and natural fibers...
I did use my sewing machine a bit here and there...
Lots of details and unique elements mixed together to achieve
a whimsical montage of vintage appeal.
