Art Quilt: Aspirations

This large piece tells of one's ability to soar because they know who they are, who their ascestors are, and have a home base. Contains a mirror, brass bells, hand beading, vintage butttons and lace, and ceramic ring. When I added a painted hand print, a heart appeared in the palm.

Art Quilt: New Side

new side art quilt beaded home decor

I created this piece by completely covering a piece of home decor fabric with thread. The effect is very painterly. I then hand beaded a 3-dimentional coil to the surface. Finished size ~ 1.5' x 2.5'

Quote of the Day: Day Dreams

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."

- Edgar Allen Poe

I find it is highly effective to step away from a problem and engage in another task (swim, walk) to gain perspective. The brain has a chance to rest and process the information in order to form new synapses, connections, and solutions. Try it... Peace, Bailey

Art Quilt Close-up: trees

I have such fun making these little trees. I embroider them on my sewing machine free-hand without a pattern. I mat and frame them or add them to larger wall pieces.
