New Project Materials

I'm starting an art quilt for the "What If?" Reader Challenge in Quilting Arts Magazine.

I'll start with canvas, burlap, 

and these colorful dotted fabrics.

Oh and these painted dryer sheets.

Of course, that's the plan right now but materials

and ideas can be altered at any time.

Yes, it's been known to happen.

Does it ever happen to you?

Tootles My Creative Friends,

Self-Portrait

Here's a little 6" X 6" mixed media canvas done for a Quilting Arts magazine self-portrait challenge entitled, "A Little Me."  I didn't include all of the features that I wanted to add because of the small format.

It represents me because I was born on Valentine's day, I love my two four-legged gals, God, trees, the NFL, and especially the Dallas Cowboys. The metallic paint and thread on the leaves (which may be hard to see) symbolizes my love for bling!

The tree, leaves, dogs, cross, footballs, and "Go Cowboys" area were all done on another canvas, cut out and applied to the main canvas. The piece consists of acrylic paints, thread, craft metal, and Mod Podge.

It's named "My Pals and Me."

Have a Happy Creative Day,
