Here are a few water paintings I did. I plan to do more bigger ones. The pics were taken in a dark room with artificial lights so they're not that great.

 




I've been looking FOREVER to find the original artist as I just saved the images without noting her name. Her name is Angelique Hootkamp and does AMAZING work. I plan on doing more of her designs. Check out her website www.salonserpent.co m. SO GOOD!

Thanks for looking!

I want to paint on this bamboo cheese board and I'm wondering what to use to seal it so it would be safe to eat off of.

ThANKS!!!

I'm making my first quilt that will hopefully look somewhat like the one below.



I am wondering about the wing coloured parts. Would I cut the fabric with holes in in to fit in the circle parts or would I just layer everything on top of each other?

I bought fusible web and tried it on a scrap piece but it doesn't stick very well and I'm worried about the pieces peeling off in the wash or something. I don't know if I used it wrong or if I got the cheap stuff. When I went to the fabric store I just got pointed to the aisle where it was and it was with a bunch of interfacing and I had no idea what I was supposed to get (as nothing had labels). I just picked up the one that looked most web-like!

Does this method work or should I just do it the old fashioned way and applique it with thread?

Thanks!!!

Has anyone tried this? I really want to do a piece on black velvet but I'm not sure if it would work.


Thanks!

I'd like to do a quilt but I'm not really into the geometric designs and prefer embroidered/appliqued blocks. I think it would be neat to do a swap where everyone contributes a block to a quilt. The blocks can have a theme or can be completely random.

Let me know if you're interested!!!!

The diapers still need to be finished off my my sister in law. They're for her sister.

I think she'll dig them.







Thanks for looking! Comments always appreciated! 

This was for my mother in law for this past X-mas but I couldn't find the right matte for the frame so the embroidery wouldn't get crushed once the glass went in...ya know? Anyhoo, I found one and she'll get it this weekend. My camera is no good at taking closeups unfortunately so bear with me.







Thanks for looking!

This was done over the span of two years but one year I barely touched it as I was doing all my wedding crafts. I'm so glad to finally have it done and beautifully framed at that (not by me of course I got the pros to do that!).









The glass is so nice in real life. You can't even tell its there!

Thanks for looking!

My DH LOVES Les so I made him this shirt for V-day. I have yet to get an action shot...
