{Simply Neutrals Tuesday #39 – Little Altered Dress}

March 27, 2018

I am joining Wen for Simply Neutrals Tuesday. Please visit her blog and see Wen’s and see many other artists beautiful posts as well: appleapricot.blogspot.com

This little white dress was a recent project of mine over the course of several weeks. I like to take busy work with me to the doctor’s office, and this was a perfect one to create and stitch while waiting.

I love the little girl’s face, so sweet and lovely.

Little bits of antique and vintage laces, beads, sari silk, fabrics and mother of pearl buttons…

The little piece all finished, and hanging from the hanger.

Have a wonderful week and Happy Easter to all of you!

{Simply Neutrals #37 – Shabby Spool Shrine}

March 13, 2018

I am joining Wen for Simply Neutrals Tuesday. Please visit her blog and see Wen’s and see many other artists beautiful posts as well: appleapricot.blogspot.com

I made this little spool shrine last year and never was able to get it photographed and posted. The little box was painted with white craft paint inside and out. Once dry, I added some sheet music to the back. A very simple fabric collage was also added in the center. Next, little vintage spools had little pieces of lace attached to them. I also added a little bit of song lyrics on the inside.

Still waiting for spring (it was trying to snow this morning), but the sun is different so I know it is coming soon!

{Simply Neutrals #29 Garden Gate Fabric Collage}

January 15, 2018

I was so thrilled to see that Wen was hosting Simply Neutrals again!

Today, is the first one of 2018 and what fun it is to participate.

This piece I made months ago for Mix It Up online magazine, but I could never reveal it until now.
The piece was made using various antique bits of fabric and laces, mother of pearl buttons, and a vintage image printed on fabric. Nothing to complex so that readers would be able to make one too!

I hope you will visit Simply Neutrals Tuesday and check out the many links!

{Antique Bits Chipboard Journal Album}

January 8, 2018

I received this publication before Christmas, but never got around to sharing it here. I am so ticked to see it (or anything) in print. It has been gone since last February, and the actual journal just came back today in the mail.

I created this using an embossed (cover) chipboard album that measures 7 1/4 x 6 inches. Then I filled each chipboard page with fabric, antique laces, buttons, and old antique photos. There are also some fabric and crocheted flowers throughout the album. I then tied ribbon and little wooden spools along the edges.

I hope you enjoy it also! Always fun to see your art after it has been away so long!
