teaser…

Another weekend sewing, sewing, sewing. I did manage to go to a party Friday night though. Finally, I have TWENTY one-of-a-kind designs FINISHED… yipee!! Now, I can’t show them all here (that would spoil the surprise, wouldn’t it?) but you can take just a peak at three of my gals. To see the rest…YOU MUST COME TO THE FAIRE!!! OK, OK, I might just give in in these coming weeks, once I start stiching up their leafy bags.

I’ll be there….

Will you??

Just a lil’ Sneak Peak…

At my One-Of-A-Kind fiber art creations for the Faire-

Spent my weekend sewing, sewing, and more sewing. The rest of the time was spent on loooong walks observing the frosty outdoors for inspiration. Thought I would share some of my musings with you. Here’s the pretty ” Sea Green Moon Beam” with her painted cloth face and celtic knot, appliqued and free motion embroidered with shimmery-glimmery golden thread, awaiting my hands to make her into a magical handbag~

Here’s all m’ladies, on the floor with artwork neatly tucked behind them, awaiting the final steps of their creation…

And here is “Tiger Lily Magik” with two beautiful tiger lilies tucked away in her mane. She is crafted on a background of black velvet.

Meet “Elven Star Nature Gal”. She just might be my favorite, if I played that game. She is adorned with spring green leaves, and lots of sparklies in her hair and wings AND she is on a background of super soft purple fabric.

You’ll find a pretty peacock adorned crown on “Peacock Moon”. She had lot’s o’glimmer as well, along with elaborately stitched wingies. She stares at the waning moon above.

And finally, me, DROWNING in a pile of fabric that I ripped through like a madwoman in a wired caffeine fit. Quite embarassing, I know. Folding it all and putting it away was not as fun as ripping it apart.

Some more handbag art…

Snip, snip, snip….Full moon tonight= art craziness!
In addition to cutting out all the applique pieces for the bags, I created some new designs. I couldnt resist! I love how the woman is looking upward at the moon. Sort of a spiritual pose. Gosh, I can’t wait to show a teaser of a finished bag. I created all new bag shapes especially for the Wicked Faire. There’s just so many enchanting, leafy designs. 20 one-of-a-kind bags in all!!! OHHHHHHHH, I cant wait to show everyone!
Anyway, here’s some applique designs…

Other stuff-
~*~*~I bought a pretty burgundy corset on ebay to wear to the faire. I’m going to embellish it a bit with my peacock feather applique designs, and change the satin lacing to leather (this corset laces up in six different places!) Other than that, I still need to make a crown, then I’m set. hmmmm..
Otherwise, back to my fabric stash.

I will be vending my bags at the Wicked Faire!!!!

I have a very, VERY busy month ahead of me!!! Look forward to updates on my progress. Lots of painting and stitching to do!!!

january musings~*~*~*~*~

Ahhh yes, January is here! I have been sprucing up my wardrobe, spending time sewing goodies for MEEEEEE (for a change!) Bought some vintage 70’s, corduroy A-line skirts and stitched jumbo flower appliques on those, made some pretty sparkly beaded earrings of green and purple, made a few chokers with satin ribbons and shell pendants.
Heres the skirt, hanging on my bookshelf….

I got a LOVELY lovely lovelybox o’ goodies from It was full of presents and books and such. (Purple fabric and moon incense to name a few).
THANKS MEGAN!!!!! Well, I could not resist, I redecorated my “january inspiration magikal table” for the new year. Decorated it in antique whites and shades of violet. And Megan, I used your present as a tablecloth (for now, it will be morphed into a skirt in the spring!)
I PROMISE to update with proper pictures of the table, but here’s a little teaser:

Its snowing out and I have the day off, so I’m going to go for a little stroll around town and the park, maybe take some frosty pictures. Afterwords my day will be spend drawing and stitching up some bags! Oh, and listen to my new Cd collection, I got the new Kate Bush, Enya, a wonderful live album by Loreena McKennitt, and some more Mediaeval Baebes. More pictures to follow!
