Fabric/Fiber Art ATCs

My favorite fabric technique is is confetti collage- layers of bits, snippets, and strings fused down with a top sheet of tulle stitched down to sandwich it all together. For an open ATC swap, I made a sheet and cut it up to make four cards. The best thing about this technique is the final fabric is so unique that every card comes out different. Here is a before and after.

Clothespin Doll

The last time I made clothespin dolls was 10 years ago when I made simple prairie ones out of calico and lace to sell at the farmer's market along with my vegetables. I had been tossing around the idea to start a swap, but someone beat me to it, so I joined their's. My partner likes purple and sparkly. This is what I came up with. She has crystals on her waist and on the lower edge of her stand. Her face was painted with a toothpick and her hair is handdyed mohair.

November & December QBOTM

November is nearly over and so is the QBOTM series. This month's block is the Lover's Knot and the theme was Citrine. A very easy block.



The final block in December will be the Waterwheel Variation, theme- Turquoise.
