Next week's challenge is "time of day". You pick an image or a color scheme that evokes a particular time of day to you and develop a piece around it. Nothing like a good challenge to keep those creative juices flowing!
I finished my first fabric collage and decided along the way to use it to alter one of those 9 3/4" x 7 1/2" Composition notebooks.Materials used: coffee-stained fabrics and lace, a piece of manchild's well-worn jeans on the front and back
, pieces of vintage hook & eye cards nestled between the lace and jean material, 3 vintage buttons sewn on
, and an old rusty safety pin holding strips of lace and fabric in the upper corner
.The image of the girl
is one of my favorite rubberstamps. I stamped the image, scanned it, changed the color to a blue to match the jean material, printed it out on transfer paper and ironed it onto the blue and white ticking fabric. I wrote "Take Note" with a permanent ink pen on another piece of fabric after sewing it to all of the layers.That's it for show & tell for today. Too hot to go out, so I've still got the sewing machine out and playing around with fabric. This is FUN!
