I am probably not done with this yet, this is as far as I've gotten so far. But I need an instant gift for someone who wanted a sort of magenta theme, so I made a variant on the unfinished painting, framed it, and it is ready to go. The frame is actually sort of maroon--none of the colors look quite right. Click images to view larger.

This is what I made yesterday. Pins! I'm crazy about tapestry fabric, and had an idea for doing little things to wear as accents. All three of these are from the same fabric, but embellished in different ways. What I love about doing these is not knowing where they're going...I just start with a bit of fabric, and have fun.
This first one has some metallic threaded yarn "couched" onto it in a freeform pattern, then a button sewn on, then some looped fringe added.
This one has a small piece knitted with eyelash yarn sewn on, then a button on top of that.
And this one has nice long fringe, a pretty button and some metallic yarn as well.
I also made some fun earrings. And a big mess on my crafting table! All those little bits of thread and yarn are now migrating their way around the house.
Now I just have to figure out how to photograph all these better so I can put them up on Etsy. My goal is to have enough pieces to start a little Shoppe, in the next couple of weeks.
But first I have to go make a nice pot of minestrone with all the yummy ingredients I bought yesterday. It is Fall, after all!!!
absolutely beautiful...such vibrant colors!!
Oooh! I thought it might have been done in oils until I read the labals!
Yeah, I collaged it (composite) on the computer and then digitally smudge painted it--may try to actually paint it.
THANKS! :-D
