BEL'S BOOK...

Well I thought that these next lot of photo's were lost forever, but found the pic's of my fabric book page created for beautiful Belinda Schneider ...part of the swap with the FABRIC GIRLZ round robin. Now this girl just 'ROCKS' with her funky art so hope she likes my fabric page filled with Mona LOVE...

and words that make you SMILE...

Now my page sits inside this turquoise felted bag( below) that attaches to Belinda's book by a large button on the back page of her book...it can be removed and used ...but dont look too close at that button hole...it's a first for me !

added a touch of love to the bag as well...

and some ATC's ...

with some of my favourite zetti images...

that I hope miss Bel will love...It's been a very enjoyable ride playing with this group of inspiring, creative and caring girls and will miss all of you when its come to a close. Only one more book to go and I'm nearly done Magda...SIGH !!!

I feel JOY when.......

I receive art created for this months Mystery Muse swap from LUCY .

I love my ODD girl and thrilled to call her mine !I feel joy when I create whilst visiting with AWSOME friends.

To then send my little wild women to live with NESS I feel joy when I receive another fabric book and create a page for wonderful gals that inspire me greatly. Women like PATTI that inspire, encourage and say the most wonderful things to me.It does fill me with JOY !

My simple BLACK BIRD, just for you dear Patti.

I feel joy !

What makes YOU feel joy ???

Time is ticking ...

Time has been ticking away and what do I have to show for it ? Very little in the creative aspect of my life I'm afraid .My Gall Bladder decided it was time we parted company, so Ive been in recovery mode .Many of my peeps gave support ( THANKYOU) and shared stories of painful gall bladders of their own. I'm hearing that I'm now part of a not so exclusive club !
Very Special INDEED!

Made this canvas for my dear and very loveable friend CARMEL (who creates awsome wire work so go check her out !) ,for a canvas niche swap run on a super yahoo group called INKredibly RT. Canvas niche covered in fabric and painted in various colours, sprayed in walnut and glimmer mists.Delight air dry clay for the face, texture paste piped on for the hair,which was coloured using glimmer mist, highlighted in gold paint.
Made her crown using a wire jig, then hammered and shaped it to fit her head.

Now back to my SEWING. Is there every to be a day that the word SEWING doesn't feel foreign in my mouth ! Hope so.....

Sewing for my fabric sista !

Thought I would share my fabric page this month for my dear gal pal DOTEE, one of 10 fabric book's making their way around the world . This newbie learnt some new things in her fabric journey and enjoying this such a lot. Hard to say how it happened to turn into such a girlie page, but maybe hosting a big sleepover for my two daughters and friends had something to do with this very busy piece. I wanted to have a bit of a royal feel with the purple/pink colour with gold touches and crystal beads.It's back is not quite finished but it will head off to Germany in the next few days.

Hope you like it Dotee as I really enjoyed making this one.

BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS

How lucky am I to receive this super amazing quilt from our Jackie. I'm quite blown away that Jacky would give this to me.So much work and detail, that for me , being a non sewer, I really do admire.So much stitching and little beads dotted about.The glass dragonfly beads are a beautiful touch.Its such yummy colours, with gold splashed about.This is such a treasure I love it so much. Thank you Jacky( you need a blog).Big hug to you.

I still cant believe its mine and cant stop touching it.

It truly is a Bluebird of Happiness.

Isn't the art world so wonderful.

Thankyou for sharing your friendship's Dotee.

As we say she is OUR Jacky now.

How GRAND.
