"Love YOU" features
couched fibers outlining the heart and forming the words. Fused
snippets of fabric and thread form the heart which was cut out of the
background fabric before fusing it to fast2fuse. A tulle overlay and
machine stitching with invisible thread secures the snippets as well as
the couched fibers. I used
Monopoly and it worked great. This
was a joyful postcard project. I love the brightly colored chunky
fibers.
--------------
What is the color of my love for
you? Can you feel the vibrant beat of my heart?
I know I'm not easy to understand
sometimes. Some days I'm funny and some days I'm sad. Some
days you may think I'm completely mad.
But I always, always, ALWAYS love you.

"Substance"
features soldered, stitched & beaded 'Etal,
couched
fibers, and beaded hand quilting. I used black Finca
Perle 16 for the medium/large hand stitched quilting. The
edges of the piece are finished by hand couching chunky/fuzzy fibers on
both the front and back of the piece.
--------------
"I've made a decision. Is it
the right one? Can I stick with it? Can I finish this
job? Do I have the substance to finish what I started? Do I
have the substance to learn from my experience? Would I do this
again? Do I have the substance to appreciate and remember what I have
learned?" |
"Awakening" features a
button embellished yoyo, couched fibers and machine stitching. The
edges of the piece are finished by machine couching fibers.

"In the early hours of the morning I
awake. I smell the moisture in the air and hear the droplets of
gentle rain falling on the window. My body is warmed and electrified
with each roll of thunder. I swear that I can almost hear the plants
in the garden growing. My soul awakens with thanksgiving - life is
good." |
