FFO - Are you Awake?

Happy Friday,  for folks that are in the USA, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  The fellow below wants you to Wake Up.  Ha ha. 

I made this little art quilt back in 2012.  And as I have been busy with other things this week, 

I am sharing this old project for the Friday Face Off. 

The Rooster is thankful that he wasn't a Turkey dinner. 

Until Next Time,

A Couple of Drawings and some Painting

Wow another Friday is upon us.  I have done a couple of quick drawings in Procreate -an iPad app that uses the Apple pencil to draw directly on the iPad. 

Since I usually draw more women, here are two male faces. 

I also painted two pieces of fabric for use in some of my other artwork.

There is only one photo because I layered the two pieces and they are almost identical.

I used fabric paints for this so it feels like normal cotton fabric. 

I think it will make something lovely.

New Notebooks - one with a "Face"

This will probably be a short post.  I recently made two new quilted notebook covers.  

The Sugar Skull is my face to this week's Friday Face Off. 

So I am entering the Friday Face Off. 

The total outside of the other notebook cover is made of fabric that I painted with fabric paint.

The "white" was painted directly using brushes and other tools.

The "green" was painted using a diluted paint as a fabric dye. 

 I love both of these.  Contact me if you would like purchase info. 

Sorry, I can only ship within the USA at this time.

Until Next Time,

The Faces of Creativity

I love to think of myself as a creative person.  I feel that I do have a creative soul.  For me creating is a "need" more than a hobby. I have a need to make things whether it is useful, or just because I can.  My need to create started when I was young - I think in the pre-adolescent years.  Certainly in my teen years I always wanted to make things.   This has continued in my my current "senior/elder" years.  

Over the years I have used my skills to make things for myself as well as for many other folks.  

So, today you are going to see some photos of me.  I will either be near or wearing one of my creations in each of these photos. 

A T-shirt embellished with a band of fabric that I wove on my loom.

Holding a lap quilt that lives with one of my dearest friends.  I love seeing it when I visit.

A vest made totally from material that I wove on my loom. 

Here I am wearing a shirt that I embellished with more of my woven fabrics.

I am standing in front to two pieces of art that I painted. 

And how about "creating a character" in a local play? 

By the way, I did NOT drink the elderberry wine. 

And in the play I had to use a product to make my hair that white.  Ha ha. Now that is the usual color.

For this same play, we needed a "stained glass window" for the door. So, I created this one. 

It is actually painted and created on a piece of plexiglass.  
I made two of these, one for each side of the door so that when the door was opened, 
the audience saw the "same" stained glass.
