Laurel Burch and Vilene - the perfect partnership!!

Here are some new jewellery pieces...

...finished, ready for sale.

Vilene bases with painted Bondaweb, gilding flakes and fabric additions.

These remind me of neolithic "eye goddess" images (Marija Gimbutas)....

...and on this one too....


I just KNEW that I had to have those Laurel Burch fat quarters!!


Ha!! Another "frivolous" purchase is justified!!!!

(Well.....I think so......:-))))))

...don't throw it away!....

..what? I hear you ask....


...the backing paper from your painted Bondaweb...that's what!!


It's amazing what delightful patterns you find when you peel off the glue layer...

....and these have been put in my current "bits" sketchbook :-)







...along with this little stitched piece made with the painted Bondaweb itself...

...and some painted squares of Butterfly SoftSpun....





See you for tea tomorrow :-)

...two finished...

As I said in a previous post...

...I was going to be playing around with those clay pieces.

Well, I played with those.....and the painted Vilene and Bondaweb...

..and this is what I've come up with :-)




Here are a couple of closer views...




There are quite a few more pieces lurking around on my desk at the minute...

...if I get some finished today, I'll post again tomorrow.

Ahhhhh joy........

In a mosaic mood...

In between doing things that I can't post about....

...I've been playing around with little bits.....literally!



Tiny squares of heavy Aquarelle paper...

...painted with lovely metallic paints from CraftyNotions and Cosmic Shimmer Misters from Ario.









I've also cut some squares out of some "Butterfly SoftSpun" that was also painted with these same paints.




The intention is to put them onto a background fabric that has been covered with painted Bondaweb (same paints again!)...








I'll be at the stitching over the weekend.....
