Blossom Art!

Blossom, Mixed Media Art Quilt

This Art Quilt is something new!  It's approximately 13" x 15" in size and hangs from an antique gold chain.  It is a tea-dyed whole cloth quilt with collaged elements.  The Dragonfly is drawn and painted on tissue paper and decoupaged to the fabric.  The Flower is battenburg lace, also decoupaged and painted, then sewed.  The flower's leaves are painted papers and the stem is also painted in place.  The word 'blossom' is a puffed quilt piece I hand stitched and then machine quilted to the whole.  The entire piece is machine quilted to show off the various sections.
This piece is for sale in my etsy store:  www.etsy.com/shop/Fayealane
I have lots of other things listed there, too.  Stop by and see what's new!

Happy 4th of July!!!

I hope everyone out there has very happy and safe holiday!

Today I'll be working on organizing my studio....something I need to do occasionally as I tend to get messy when creating.  :-)  Later this evening we'll go watch fireworks, weather permitting.  It's been very stormy here in Boulder City, NV the past 2 days, something that happens this time of year, though the monsoon season does seem to be here a bit early this year.  Still crazy hot, though...110!!!  and now muggy.  People are always saying to me that I shouldn't complain about the heat in the Las Vegas area because it's a 'dry' heat.  My rebuttal "Hot is hot!"  Once it's over 100 it's just plain hot!  The storms are a pleasant change but I hope it doesn't make the firework show impossible.  I do love fireworks!

So, everyone take care and have a fun Holiday!

Just a Hello

No dramatic news....no earth-shattering events...no terrifying occurances.....NICE! 
Sometimes it's wonderful to be boring! Ha-ha! 

I changed the profile pictures today.  The main picture is of an Angel Wish Box I created for a friend.  It turned out really well!  If anyone would like to purchase one just let me know.  It's about 8" tall and the little wood box is about 3" x 4".  Her head, hands and feet are polymer clay.  Her body is wire and fabric.  I made it all!  No two will ever be exactly alike.  She'll sell for $15.00 US dollars.  Shipping would be calculated based on buyer's location.  So send me an email and we can do business! :-)

The second picture changed is of my sister and myself.  I'm the one with dark hair.  We're in Chicago in this photo with the beautiful Chicago skyline behind us.  I love Chicago!
