This is a new piece Jan is working on. She has done needle felting and beading and is now adding some embroidery. I apologize for not putting the pic on here correctly. It should be counter clockwise...OK...it's early :>)) It is a wetland scene and I can't wait to see the finished piece of work.

Jan, if you can turn this around, would you? Next week...tell me how you did it, OK? :>))

Jan's Key Challenge...

None of us were surprised to see Jan's wonderful project with keys. She made a piece of hanging art. She use a piece of her rust dyed fabric and also did some tea dying to make her gingham fabric look old. She used pounded bottle caps for the frames of two pictures, old lace, needle felting, beading, and old time photos. It has the appearance of someone's heirloom. She said she might like to make another, but with photos of ancestors in her family. This is a fantastic piece. The hanger for it is a branch...perfect. Sorry, Jan for the upside down pic!

CHALLENGE...

Remember these, girls??? One is Friendship, one is Dunes, one is self portrait. Sorry I didn't have any pics of any of yours, but wanted to give Pink and Karen and idea of what fabric ones looked like. Go For It!




OK...here is the challenge again for those of you who ignored me last time :>))

11 X 8.5" Journal page that can be sewn with fabric, mixed media, needle felted, knitted, painted, done in alcohol inks, iris folding, whatever you chose.

It is due on Tuesday, May4. THE THEME IS MY FAVORITE...

I have officially challenged you S & Bers and anyone else who is following. If you are not local, send a picture of your item to: longbeachfox@centurytel.net and tell us about it.

Tuesday....

We had a wonderful day at Karen's. Jan worked on some cat toys for Christmas that she was needle felting (see picture). Karen was working on some cards. Pinky brought some hot pads to cut out. April was knitting on her scarf for her daughter in law. I was working on Some Christmas cards. I forgot my camera, so the only pictures I have this week are those of Jan's toy (because she gave me one), and the cards I was working on. I hope to bring my camera each week and show the different things we have as projects.
Our next challenge is to make 5 postcard size collages to trade in January. I have started on mine and they are so fun!
