Finally back home...
..and completely done in!
But...
...I'm now re-discovering all the treasures I picked up while in France. :-)
Wonderful old rubber stamps of old French coins...
...and delightful Cicadas and generally "Provencal" images - just right for my "Lavender & Lace" bits.
Coming across a Brocante market on our last day in the Perigord allowed me to bag some beautiful lace, buttons and bobbins....
...and a couple of handwritten documents....one from 1822....
Love the elegant writing! :-)
I need a bit of time to do think of something with them though....
Have a great weekend

Little French panel #1
Here's my first one....
...using some of those gorgeous sari silks...
...hand-dyed and printed fabrics...
...lace, beads, silk ribbons and rayons....
...old handwriting dipped in batik wax...
..and French flea market pearl buttons...
...done on a background of antique linen.
I'm pleased with it :-)
My 300th posting is coming up soon....
...and I'll have one of these little panels done specially to giveaway...
