Applique is the process of stitching something to a background fabric. It will take about an hour to finish these. It also took about 40 minutes to handcut them.
If you had told me I was going to fall in love with vinyl, I would have laughed in your face. I'm actively designing new organizers. The top/front is fabric. The interior is vinyl print on top of a fabric backing. I am in love!
The centerpiece for some of my artwork is not fabric. Strips were cut from large canvases and sewn together and these shapes were cut. These will get 2 coats of glossy varnish.
I've been hatching new Guardian Snails! Once they dry, they'll receive painted highlights and two coats of glossy varnish, along with a spiral stitched fabric shell.
I'm working on new handmade practical items, fabric and mixed media artwork. I've added a few more events to my April and May schedule. I'm really looking forward to my 4th appearance at the Inman Park Festival and my 2nd for Alpharetta!
I am continually astounded by the places I find myself. I will by on the Georgia Tech campus on Wednesday from 11-3!
#gatech #gvgI've started my favorite landscape, the Dragonscape, my DragonCon theme. When finished, it will feature the red & blue dragons with that very special carpet fabric & hand painted gold stars. 19"x22"with roughly 18 more hours of design time and sewing remain. Creative juices flow!
The trees continue to grow as I add strips of fabric within them. The next step will be to free motion quilting hundreds of smaller limbs and adding sparkling Angelina fiber.
Sneaking a peek at 5 fabric Trifold Organizer tops. I've finished grid quilting them to a thick stabilizer. I'll work on interior fabrics next week.
I've been building up a nice sized stash of vinyl over the last few months, as I prepare to start my new line of practical organizers, zipper pouches and a few other surprises. I'll be pausing for a while, so I can dig in and finished my taxes. That's the life of a one Geek shop!
