Big Girl Crowns!

Quarterly, a group of creative friends get together to do a creative project.  Yesterday was my day to host our creative adventure.

The project was kept a total surprise until the last moment which was to paint and embellish a lace crown.  I had already stiffened them since the drying time requires at least a day and we couldn't have done that in our short time together.

We had such fun.  Here is a photo of mine...a continuing work in progress since I have some more ideas for it!

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.
