Back in the Studio!
After a very busy summer and fall, I'm finally back to working in my studio. I've missed being in here on a regular basis, so I'm anxious to see what creations are made this winter. I have drawers filled with scraps of fabric that really need to be purged. Rather than throw them away, I've decided to challenge myself to a daily creative session, using only scraps from these drawers.This is the first attempt at my challenge.
I almost threw it away after getting to this point, as I really didn't know where all these little squares were going, but I persevered!
Once all of the empty spaces were filled in, I added paint over the squares......
Over the paint, I added vertical lines in gold leafing, then painted over the whole piece again. To add a bit more visual interest, I fused some red vertical lines and squares. This piece will eventually have more stitching and embellishments added to it, but I feel like I accomplished what I set out to do.......
Create every day!

Have fun everyday creating.
Left-over fabrics: I store them too and think it is a great idea to use them every day:)
Have a good thanksgiving weekend, (if you celebrate it) take care

It's good to find you here! I've buzzed through & it looks like you've been very busy. I like your piece here, but then I love everything you do! I hope to see you soon!
