New Embroidery Mash-Up!

Just another embroidery mash-up...teaser anyway. I have been sewing oodles of stuff together with no rhyme or reason! Fun! Fun!

Support Your Fellow Artisans!

“Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. 

For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all.” 

-Deborah Day

One of my friends, Debbie Harris of Studio Bee Creations has shared a sentiment about supporting each other on her blog today.  I have had many artisans....business wizards...out right smart people....creative junkies....and mentors support me when the creative process is in question.  I have one philosophy about this mutual need we all have....

Share the support!  What you give is what you get!

Mixed Media Art! Favorite Quote!

This is still my favorite quote.  I am doing a lot of chewing as of late.

Embroidery Vintage Doll Dress!

A friend gave me this little purple linen dress a couple of years ago.  I loved it....but, I didn't know what to do with it.  It came with just the white trim and solid purple.  

Then I added a little embellishment.  I few pieces of torn embroidered linens....tatting....a little fun hand embroidery.....button....

and a cute little purple dress as art!

Folk Art Sock!

This little sock has been in my stash for years.  I only have one, and the side you don't see is almost gone because this little toe coverer has no doubt been a buffet for a fleet of moths.  The colors were so fashion forward for the time of its making.  It's a funky blue and green....quite popular today.  Although, I found it in a warehouse attic with many things dated early 1900's.  

Next to the collection came this delightful long, skinny ledger.  

What better to put on it than this little sock?

I added a few embellishments...and there she is.  A precious piece of folk art.....a SOCK!
