Vintage Altered Bingo Cards

July 15, 2021

Today, I am sharing something from the archives. The Vintage Altered Bingo Cards were published in Sew Somerset Winter 2014 Issue. Pages 108 – 110. They are a combination assemblage of paper, bingo cards, and sewn collages using fabric. The phrases were chalked to add to the vintage feel of the project. I tried to keep the project neutral in color, although they could easily be made in colors as well.

As I type this today I cannot believe it is already July 15th! Where does summer go? I am enjoying my little guy here today (he is napping as I type) and in just a few more weeks he will be 2 years old! That is crazy!! I have just a few things on my summer bucket list. I don’t think some of the bigger wishes will happen, so I made goals that were much easier.

I hope you are enjoying your July, where ever you are!

Shabby Trinket Box

April 16, 2021

Sharing this little box from the 2011 Archives.

The little wooden box was painted and text paper was inserted on the cover. There are tags, butterflies, and a charm taking center stage. In each of the corners I added silver photo corners and lace trim was added to the edge.

I hope you are enjoying spring whatever part of the world you are in and staying safe!

Petite Dress Canvas

April 14, 2021

From the 2012 Art Archives…

Who can resist a bit of Haute Couture? These little dresses are delicate and frilly. They have been mounted on an altered canvas and oh la la…you have something tres chic.

You can create your dresses using fabrics or pattern papers and make them as fancy schmancy as you wish. The color combinations and embellishments are endless. I promise you will become a designer fashionista once you try making just one!

Spring Fairy Jar

March 9, 2021

The birds are chirping, the temperatures are lovely, and the sun is shining. Spring is near and I will be grateful for longer days coming soon too! Today, I was able to get in the studio this morning and create two fairy jars. This is one of them. I still need to add some peasant feathers to my assemblage. Still debating on painting the lid as well.

The moss was actually found at Dollar Tree and it has little bits of bark and a pinecone as well. It was also my first time working with real quail eggs. So fun and fragile. I hope you are enjoying the coming of spring in your little corner of the world!
