Wonder Wallet








These small wallets are slightly larger than a credit card but hold lots of necessities like folded bills, credit cards, drivers license and coins. The way the wallet is constructed actually keep the coins from falling out.

Another Sun Print


This time after the print was dry and heat set, I added silver paint spirals with a rubber sponge stamp and white paint dots using the end of a wooden skewer. These pieces are so much fun to create, but I really need to get busy and think of something to actually make out of the fabric.

Sun Painting On Fabric



I have just learned how to make sun paintings from the blog owner of Ruminations and Reflections I think she used special paint, but I just used watered down acrylic paints. Mine didn't bleach our as white as hers did, but I still like the mottled effect it produced. This was so easy and so much fun to do. I'm showing 2 pictures but it is really one piece of fabric folded and scanned. Thanks so much to the owner of R&R for all of your help. Now to go create something with this fun piece of fabric.

Approximately 7 1/2" x 10" to the tip of the vintage lace. The flower and leaves were FME and painted/stained with India inks. The tan background was stained with walnut ink.

Fabric Cone






One of my groups is holding a swap for these fabric cones that are to be made using Ruth Rae's instructions in one of the current magazines. I haven't joined the swap because I don't have the instructions, but I wanted to make one anyway, so this is my interpretation. I hand dyed the fabrics and laces to get that mauve-pinkish color and used cranberry thread to sew it all together.
