Trying to get things ready and packed for the trip to Tennessee tomorrow. My nephew is graduating high school. I don't think he believes it is a big deal, but it is. We leave tomorrow and will be back Sunday night. Extremely quick trip.
I wanted to post this project I made at the Inspired Artist event I went to in April. I haven't been able to show it, because I wanted to give it to my mom for Mother's Day. Since she is the only one who reads this blog, she was bound to see it!
This was such a fun class. The teacher, Christina Lazar-Schuler is SO talented and creative. I have bought lots of stuff from her since the workshop.
The piece is an 8x8 square fabric piece (kind of like a quilt square) with a photo, fabric transfers and lots of beads and stitches for embellishments. I really enjoyed making it and hope to make more. You could hang it by a ribbon or add eyelets and keyrings and make a whole fabric album.
I chose to mount it on cardstock and frame it in a 12x12 shadowbox frame. The only downside is you can't see the beautiful fabric on the back.
The photo of the piece really sucks. The green cardstock is not really so garish.
Stay tuned next week for some big thoughts and bigger announcements!
Beautiful Lori, I also gave mine to my mom for Mother's Day!!! I love, love how you framed it, looks beautiful. I did sew a ribbon on mine so mom could hang hers!!! Have a great time in TN.
