trio

Filed under: Sewing — admin at 11:05 am on Monday, February 12, 2007


The trio I began in January is now complete. I used a combination of freezer paper stencil and a collaging of fabric and thread. I really liked the way they turned out. Now I need to get the nerve to figure out how to frame them- I have a few old frames picked out, but there’s a few things I need to resolve. I’ll be sure to share the final end, but don’t count on it within the next few days!

I’m not sure why the camera captured brush strokes, in real life you can’t see them.

I totally loved using a needle and thread and just relaxing with these pieces. I have always admired collage and I think using fabric and thread is just my kind of thing- I hope to make some more “silhouette- inspired” pieces.

I finally got caught up on your blog…Ariana has the link that can get me there. Nathan’s is still set to your old one…I love seeing the creative things you’ve been up to, and your photos. We got the same cough/sinus/fever thing you did. It stunk. I’m still coughing some, but feeling normal now.

I saw this post several months ago when surfing aimlessly through the blogosphere. Your project inspired this project: http://foothillhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2007/06/hand-prints.html
I failed to bookmark your site the first time I found it, but thanks to robotjumpingrope I found you again. Just wanted to give you credit for your inspired ideas. From one sewing mama to another, thanks.
