Birch Trees in Fall
|
I've begun to experiment with fabric art. I just love it all! I enjoy my quilting but I saw a show on Sewing with Nancy and watched a fabric artist do some birch trees. Of course, this is just a days work on experimenting but I had fun!

"Birch Trees in Alaska's Fall"
|
This is a larger piece. I used fabric, added batting to give more dimension, yarn, paper, silk flowers and glitter.

|
"A Pink Delight" = Fireweed
|
I had a blast making this. It's about 10 1/2 " square, reinforced with heavy batting. The fireweed is made of home-made paper (given to me by a friend & local artist, Nancy King), batik fabric is the background, yarn for dimension, my favorite Martha Stewart glitter, and cardstock printed paper. The button is a large button and it just finishes off the artword. Fireweed is everywhere in Alaska, it really should have been our state flower.

White dainty flowers = Dogwood
|
This is about 10 1/2 inch square. I used very "airy" paper for the dogwood flowers, fabric, natural yarn, homemade paper (thanks again Nancy King), fabric pens, printed cardstock and of course, glitter.

"Forget Me Nots" = Alaska's State Flower
|
This is about 10 1/2 " square. Homemade blue paper (thank you Nancy King again) was used for the forget-me-not petals, fabric, natural yarn, fabric pens, printed cardstock and of course, glitter finished off the project.

"Pretty Poppies"
|
This is about 10 1/2 inch square. I used pink and yellow homemade paper for the poppies, fabric, natural yarn, fabric pens, printed cardstock and of course, glitter.

"Full Moon"
|
Inspired by a full moon in November, this was created using birch bark, fabric, fabric pens, homemade paper and glitter.
