The focus of my work is totally experimental. I like to try different visual languages, designs and mixtures. I feel inspired by something that really gets my attention. I try new ways to develop my creations until I dominate it in a particular mood introducing my identity and my beliefs.
Hello Everyone, I have been playing with a little mixed media. Hope you like it :) I have used the new Dutch Doobadoo MDF Breadboard and decorated by making a vintage dress using Pion Design My Precious Daughter papers, love these colours. The 12x12 papers used are called Pansy PD4902 and Julia's Dress 12x12 PD4908 I have used one of my favourite laces from Live and Love crafts, Lace Princess Grace. The little diamante lace along the bottom of the dress is called Rhinestones Lace. I used a selection of flowers, Rose 30mm, 20mm, 10mm and rose buds and also a country rose flower but I painted it black and then spritzed it. I cut the new vintage flourish leaf using the Julia's Dress paper to match the colour scheme. I added a prima key and you will notice in the centres of the structure paste flowers I have added pearl embellishments. The butterfly is a resin butterfly with a flower added to the centre a a little paste and a splat of prima bloom spray. And if that wasn't enough for you today I have a 6x6 canvas. The image is actually a napkin "kissing children" which I have added using the mod podge antqiue finish. Now this is the secret bit, don't tell Sandy but I painted all the flowers with black gesso. Hehehe, o.k. so I could be sacked so this is our secret. I have then spritzed them with prima bloom sprays, storm cloud, iris and white, a little gesso and some inka gold in silver. I added hearts to the right with structure paste and the hearts stencil, added crackle glaze and again some spritzing. Hope you have enjoyed today's projects.

A golden career spanning almost half a century has been the achievement of celebrated textile artist Sue Rangeley. Intricately machine stitched lace,
Summery Tee ~ I've been saving a yard of this gorgeous, hand-dyed madder fabric for just the right project. When I put together this combination, I knew I had found it. This is also a great example of something you can make at my two-day hand stitching workshop in Gig Harbor, Washington with Bellissima Art Escapes in August. We'll be going over everything ~ cutting, stenciling, and stitching ~ step by step, so really, you REALLY can make it! This is the fitted t-shirt pattern from Alabama Studio Sewing + Design book, by Natalie Chanin. I like to make this shirt a size larger than normal, because I don't like things too clingy. The top layer of fabric is natural and the bottom layer is a hand-dyed madder. Coral or persimmon might be good substitutes if the madder isn't available. I used DMC variegated floss #4130, Chilean sunset, to backstitch around the new leaves stenciled areas; and Coats & Clarks button craft thread in dogwood for the construction. If this project is one of your first projects, I might suggest using the running stitch instead of the backstitch. The backstitch takes three times as long as the running stitch. This shirt is worked in the negative reverse applique technique, so most of the top layer is cut away. This is a panel before I cut away most of the top layer. Here are a couple before and after shots of cutting the top layer away. I wanted a little more cream in the overall design, so I stitched some Alabama eyelets and French knots into the madder background. I snipped around the added embroidered "flowers". I experimented and appliqued a few small cut circles of natural colored fabric. I knew the cut edges would curl up when I washed it. I'm on the fence about the results. What do you think? Here's a close up after washing. Here's a few ways I'll wear my new tee in summer and into autumn. Here I've paired the shirt with a single layered, unembellished fitted tank dress. The dress is among the first garments I had made and is one of my go-to pieces. It's so comfortable and cool in the summertime. What will you be doing to keep cool this summer?
I just had to show this off. This is a recent post on Sandra Evertsons blog www.sandraevertson.blogspot.com She is so talented, I just can't get over it!!!!!!!!~
