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 !!!

School Project 2008

Remember all the lovely felt the grade 5's created that looked like

THIS...

The grade 5 children cut out 10 birds and I took it all home and created

THIS...

10 birds symbolizing the TEN year anniversary of our school.

It was presented to the school at the Christmas assembly with so many fabulous comments from parents and teachers.I'm quite pleased with my first wall hanging and must say to Mr MARK, you did a mighty fine job with your part,thank you. I couldn't have done it without you !

Happy Birthday RP

CHRISTMAS ART SWAP...

Its been my pleasure to take part in a special Christmas swap with wonderful and talented Australian AUST ART SISTERS.

I created some bookmarks from pieces of wet felting I made. I just adore felt making and cant get enough of it.

and filled them with love

Hope the girls get pleasure from them.

Added a double sided keychain that I hope will be useful.

I love these mini collage's, such fun !

A wonderful swap that has given me great pleasure.

Today was day eight with still four gifts to go. WOO HOO

BUT, the little child in me finds it hard not to peek.

Fabric books and Felting FUN !!!

I've been playing in the lovely TINA'S fabric book and was so inspired by everyones super artwork. It's so nice to leave something as a sign-in, so popped this little tag in a pocket for Tina. Cotten sprayed with glimmer mists and stamped with a favourite COLLECTIONS stamp. Added some hand made paper beads dipped in UTEE and sprinkled with yummy opals.

Really fun to make.

Was so inspired to make a wild women from Dales ( The Thread Studio) challenge so made some silk paper and crazy stitched to black fabric. Love these faces and hands from ARTGIRLZ and added a beautiful treasure given to me by JANE, the treasure queen herself.

Had the pleasure of take a FELTING class a few weeks ago through CATALYST WORKSHOPS with the lovely TANYA PETERS and had a ball making tradional felt using wet felting techniques. My,my this is certainly addictive.

Lets just say that the felting bug has bitten me ...

quite a bit ...

I JUST LOVE IT !!!

Felting for FABRIC GIRLZ

It's been way too long since I updated and shared my latest adventures. Between work, family and doing the mum's taxi thing I really dont know where the time goes. Wish I was writing Ive been too busy socialising, shopping and REALLY ENJOYING MYSELF. Ok, well there has been a little of that creeping in between the other stuff . It certainly hasnt been all bad.

So thought I would share a few pics of my fabric book page for the super sweet gal JACKY,

who chose the fabulous arch shape for her book. Used my super CLOVER hand felter to attach some silk fibre but learnt that time frames and over thinking do not go hand in hand, as there was a few things I wanted to do before calling this finished.

With every round I'm hoping to learn something new and hope to create with a new technique .This Fabric Girlz group is just the best push Ive had to join the fabric world.

I'm still to learn the mastery of hand sewing, but there is hope for me yet !

A pressie from Jane P
