Pandora's Box

 
Now that I know the Postcard has arrived to its new owner........

Pandora's Box was the theme,and I chose to make a box using Xpandaprint which was then overpainted with Lumiere paint in a sunset gold;
Angelina fibres and a dragonfly are used to represent Hope which was last to escape from the box.
I had such fun with this that I made another couple for myself! Posted by Picasa

Autumn Crazy

 
I think I mentioned that I'd been in "catch-up mode"?
This is one of my recently finished pieces for my Art journal quilt group:
"Autumn Crazy"
I just felt that CQ and Autumn colours go well together,and this was the result..........except for the skeletonised leaves,there is NO embellishment!
Definitely a first for me.
It's funny how when people ask my favourite colours,the shades of Autumn never get a mention,but my favourite pieces are all based on Autumn,and some form of CQ.
Of course I should admit also that Mounts Bay Road in Perth in Autumn,and "Autumn leaves" and "Smoke gets in your eyes" have always been my favourite memories too. Posted by Picasa

Ready to start experimenting

My CQRR06 round two is on its way to Becky;
My fabric & Fibre postcards have been sent on to their new homes;
The art journal quilt needs only some hand stitching around the bindings to complete it(tomorrow at Mountain Quilters)
The CQed heart for Lio in Switzerland requires a couple more bullions for kangaroo paw blossoms,so I feel I can go play!
Recent posts have delivered a wood burning tool,Tyvek film and Tyvektex as well as some pottles of Neopaque:
There's the 'skeletons' of two more art journal quilts waiting to be dressed..............so,I'm outa here.

Pics will follow,after I've played!

Postmark'd Art

Today the first of twenty scheduled (swap) Postcards landed in the letterbox.
This one came from Arkansas USA, and was one of the "Cat themed cards"
Thankfully Australian Customs and Ozpost didn't cause any damage!

Clutch bag

 
It seemed like a good idea at the time:
a bag to match my planned ensemble.The dress and jacket have since been scattered to the four winds in various pieces of CQ,so maybe "it's Time" to deconstruct the purse and use the beaded and SRE flap in something else.

mmmmmmmmm! Posted by Picasa
