Lost and Found

Am looking through my stash of fabrics for a missing spool of thread, it's still missing, but I'm finding some yummies that are in need of pressing and stitching!  These pieces are from 2000-2002

Now that I'm into a new body of work based on my favorite marsh the ideas are starting to flow again.

 

I also found a few pieces for my "sandstone" series hiding in my stash of fabrics.

 

And maybe even a few new "Blood River Canyon" pieces.

Indian Corn Circa 1994/95

Indian Corn - Haboti Silk - Acid Dyes - 1994/95  I made these panels in a beginning dye class I took with Priscilla Sage (I'm thinking around 1994 now will have to check my old class notes).

Dye Painted Panel - Acid Dyes

I've yet to get around to fninshing these pieces, I've been busy excavating my studio closet and found them a little bit ago. I'm thinking they need to be encrusted with stitching and beading!

Brooch No. 1 Whirlwind Series

Sew the Wind and Reap the Whirlwind!

Finally some color! No where near done yet though! Now for more stitching, cats need hair right? Some beads, cordings, attach the crown, buttons, ribbons and more.

Pink Pin Cushion

This pin cushion is living with Lynn now. The top fabric is cochineal dyed silk velvet with cochineal dyed rayon trim and two vintage buttons. The backing fabric is painted silk dupioni fabric the whole thing has been stuffed with merino wool - the super wash variety.

Another Peak

I dyed the silk velevt ribbon with cochineal - a natural dye - it compliments my hand painted silk fabrics and ribbons beautifully. Now no more peaks until Lynn recieves her faerie.

Hand Painted

Hand Painted vintage seam binding tape! This is for the faerie dress. For more details on the faerie swap see my blog Wild Hyacinths
