L'uccello

I'm working on my first commissioned piece of mixed media art at the moment...so no pics... yesterday I went to visit l'uccello, in Melbourne for the first time....wow, what an amazing store.  Up to level two of the building in an elevator driven by a lovely old lady....inside the shop..where to look first...of course I bought a few things,  but will need to return. It was just too overwhelming!

gone shopping

I had to go to Gum Valley Patchwork last Saturday to buy some background fabrics....stash was extinct of them...and how was I going to resist some of the cute as dyed ric rac and a few more pieces of wool to add to my collection.

I've been working on some fabric girls this week...still in the experimental stage but progressing nicely.  Managed to get a bit of paint onto them this morning before work...will be back to it again soon!

Messy

I've got my mixed media stuff out tonight and have started using the kit from Kristy Tomlinson ....fun and games. It's good to be able to use some of the sprays I have too...it's still a work in progress but I'm happy how its progressing...as for the mess on the bench? It must have been why I designed such a wide bench in the first place! Lol

She art...FiArt


I've been busy making a couple more art pieces...I now realise that cheap canvas panels are not such a good idea...can't put too much pressure on them when using rubons so just as well I am still learning.  Will get better quality when I next venture to Geelong.

I love the colors in the first one...I was trying to go for a more Christmassy look with the second panel.  I don't think its very successful so will have to go back to the drawing board on that one.

Back in business!

Its been over 12 months since I have been on my blog...time for change...so much as happened since then...quilts, scrapbooks, handmade books, embroideries made, classes with international teachers attended and more...
