What do you do in Palm Springs when there is a huge sand storm?
Yeah, closing the windows would be an option. I’ll be sure to do that next time… Duh!
Next, unless you want to sand blast the paint on your car, you stay home and you make fabric lace pages. I did have much fun. They turned out soooo romantic. They are based on heavy upholstery fabric, and there is a little hanger at the back. Or they can be used as the basis for a book or journal cover.
The images are printed on fabric, and surrounded with gorgeous laces from my vintage collection, a few vintage buttons, and some paper and fabric flowers.
On each of my pieces, there is also a piece of vintage jewelry.
Of course, I stay within the Paris theme, with some French text printed on fabric, and a Paris tag.
I like this one particularly, it is so soft and feminine.
These compositions measure 6.5 x 9.
I also made some smaller fabric collages, on a tag. These measure approximately 3x5.
These little guys are available for sale individually in my Etsy store. The fabric collages are there too.
Pretty pages Sox

Beautiful as always. Dust storms are so much "fun"
ReplyDeleteIt's like you don't really need the excuse of a dust storm to keep you creating in your studio now
ReplyDeleteSox. We know it's a survival technique! Can't believe how many pages you have created! They are all
so very "French" and I think you must have a fascination for hats at the moment. I love the images and you have embellished them so niecely with all of the colour tonings used! You must have quite a collection of fabric roses and jewellery by now to choose from. The little "tags" look so very sweet and would make a dear little book if put together too! Excellent photos!

Beautiful as always! All the layers.. all the feminine touches! I still cherish the heart I won on your giveaway. It was such a treat to have 'happy mail' when I returned home. My life is still a whirl of activity with selling and buying a home. And the moving sale... and the graduation! Can't say my life is boring! Thanks for sharing your creativity.. always fun to light upon your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow...beautiful work! Thanks for sharing. Just the inspiration I needed to get back into the swing of "creative" things.
