    Holy scrap!

    July 10, 2016 - By 

    I made this barn wood and fabric cross piece entirely from scraps. Yep, leftovers from other projects…not a dime spent.

    Holy scrap barnwood and fabric cross

    The printed fabric was from the curtains I recently shortened and lined, the barn wood came from the same gal as they had leftovers from remodel project and the brown suede was from a jacket I cut up long ago.

    My inspiration was from Pinterest. There were no directions but the idea seemed simple enough. I used a staple gun to attach the fabric and a hot glue gun to adhere the suede center piece. Five minute project…seriously. I gave it to the family that just remodeled as sort of a “new space” warming gift since it perfectly matched the room. 🙂

    Back to art journaling

    December 22, 2014 - By 

    It has been a while since I’ve worked in my art journals. I was worried that my muse may have disappeared….but I found her. 20141221_7356

    I once again grabbed some scraps from around me to create this page. Some suede from a coat I cut up to make a book and some RenFest bags, tea stained lace curtain scrap20141221_7358 and some book page flowers I was experimenting with the other day.20141221_7357

    I’m nearly done with this journal as well. I think maybe I can squeeze 3 perhaps 4 more pages out of it. I already have my next journal picked out….and an idea for another. I love the freedom art journaling affords. No theme. No boundaries. Just a place to express and experiment.

    October Dress

    October 8, 2010 - By 


    So here I am…a week past the October deadline for the Dress-up Project…  But on the bright side…it IS still October!!

    Since I seem to be doing nothing but raking leaves lately, this seemed like the natural choice for October.  The bodice of the dress if cut from suede scraps. The skirt is made from a pack of silk leaves. Hot glue holds the whole works together.  Feels very woodland nymph-ish to me.  I even had to give a light spray of spray adhesive with a sprinkle of glitter for this one.

    Hop on over to Margaret’s Alice and Camilla Blog to check out the other wonderful October Dresses!!  You won’t be sorry that you did!
