I have completed two more pages for the Art is . . . You Swap. This little birdie is made from a couple of swatches of upholstery fabric. The cool stitching around the border is a bit obscured by the layers of pastel I added, but it's more visible in real life. And you can't see it, but behind the letter stickers there's a piece of paper that has the title of a vintage book about nests and birds :)
The colours aren't as true in the picture below, but you can see the effect of the ribbon better:
The other page I created was inspired by Christy Tomlinson'sShe Art girls. I haven't taken any of Christy's classes, but I've watched a few of her online videos and I like her whimsical girls.
It's hard to tell, but my girl is wearing a bun ;) And that flower in the middle is supposed to be the sun! :)
I'm lacking inspiration for my last two pages, though . . .
Such gorgeous pieces. Love your upholstery bird. I so appreciate your bio on Word Art Wednesday. I am a former home educator of 19 years. What a blessing to be able to share God's Word with our children and help them see their God given talents. It's such a blessing to know a kindred spirit and sister in Christ. Congrats on 21 years of marriage. Praying for you as you face this battle with cancer. I'm a new follower. ~ Blessings
I especially love the bird! The long fluffy tail reminds me of Lolla Lee Lou (instead of one tail feather, she had TWO!) and Gertrude McFuzz--have you ever reaqd that book to your children?
These are really nice - such great, vibrant colors. I especially like the fabric bird and the stitching. The whimsical one with the girly is cute, too.
These are absolutely amazing--LOVE the vibrant colors and the different fibers you've used! Gorgeous work! {{{HUGS}}} :)
