Cowboy Mini Collage Fiber Pack

Have you ever wanted to hand-sew an expressive mini collage? This is a vintage collection of creamy fibers, fabric, and buttons. It will make you joyful!

Here's one of my vintage mini-collage fiber packs. The little cowboy image was actually printed onto cotton fabric, so you can sew it with ease.

There's a felt backing, vintage hand made doily, vintage ribbon and buttons, vintage French vanilla cotton hand towel fabric, walnut oil dyed cheesecloth, unbleached gauze, brass charms and vintage spool of silk thread.

Express yourself with fibers - it's life transforming!

Handmade Journal

This is my first attempt to make a handmade book. The cover was needlepunched using my Baby Lock Embellisher. I decided to make it into a handmade journal. This is the front cover with a matching flower with tiny peach pearls. I used tea dyed scrim, netting, silk, a nice sheer fabric and bits of peach dyed fleece.

The book has 8 watercolor pages - using Arches (pronounced "Arsh) made in France. It's the best watercolor paper to use if you are a painter. You could use this book as a watercolor journal. I was also thinking it would be perfect for a garden party as a guest book. Maybe add a paint set to the table for your guests to "paint in" instead of sign in!

The font and back covers have a 300 lb Arches watercolor paper too - just to add a bit of sturdiness to the outer fabric.

Here's a close up of the cheesecloth that I dyed in raspberry tea.

Here is a close-up of the tiny peach pearls sewn onto hand-dyed silk from England.

The spine of the journal is tied with green silk.

A shot of the inside back cover. I added some of the original fabric to cushion and soften the inside.

Thank you for looking.

Auf Wiedersehen! Danke!

Baby Lock Embellisher for Fiber Art

Here's my first landscape using the Baby Lock Embellisher. It is very easy to use and fun as well.

The purple and blue flowers are from circles cut from Kaffe Fasset fabric. There are French knots, handstitching, and other texturizing.

There's some added scrim (a gauzy fabric) that I bought from The Rainbow Girl on Etsy. Her items are very nice and she ships quickly from England!

The brownish wispy fibers are from a strap from a silk camisole! There are also bits of silk waste pieces felted throughout for more organic texture.

Thank you for visiting. Please visit my Etsy shop for more of my fiber art.
