royal commission
A peek at a background for a wall hanging commission I’m working on. There’s many layers of paint, fabric and embellishments over this base textile painting, and I will post pictures very soon. The figures in this will be a dragon and a princess. You’ll see!
Finally some silk art…
I walk through the park, picking up this and that…inspirational little autumn treasures. Recently my abalone shell is OVERFLOWING with fall goodness. And just yesterday I bought a new, GIGANTIC one at the thrift shop. A lucky find. (The one in the picture is still my small one). So I was inspired to recreate my …
Peacock feather surface design finished!
This piece turned out to be just SO dimensional! On top of using the quilt batting, I stuffed each peacock feather with fluff to make it pop, then stitched like crazy with golden thread. Topped it off with green sparkle beads and sequins. Here it is- 13 1/2″ by 19″. From this piece I have …
Just a few rennaissance faire pictures from the other weekend
I went to the NY Ren Faire and I took a few pics, mainly things (not people) for their texture. My favorite is this gypsy grotto made entirely of sticks. Just look at those velvet pillows and rusty wrought iron furniture! I just love this face painting sign- I was snapping a picture of the …

Peacock feather surface design
Tonight I am working on this: This piece is so textured! I wanted to manipulate the fabric, add dimension. Antique lace, silks, satins, batiks, paint, beads, sequins and thread… all layered, fused, sewn, layered. Right now I’m inspired by natural things that I can hold in my hand, organic shapes and texture, against snippets of …

Autumn Offerings….
Three new gorgeous Autumn-inspired bags! All bags are one-of-a-kind, sewn with love from my own original patterns and artwork. They are truly “portable art”! Here’s a little peak at the beautiful coppery “Autumn Daydream” Bag… See “Faerie of the Mist” and “Amethyst Moonbeams” here: http://www.sarahblankstudios.com/bags.htm All have cute little leaf ties and SHIMMER!
An Array of Autumn Enchantements
As Autumn approaches I have been collecting leaves, nuts and other hodgepodge of natures manifestations. I put them on my pretty table, along with an antique mirror, pumpkins, candles, butterflies and copper faerie dust to name a few of the items… Joy! My favorite season. A little faerie sits on my abalone shell… These faerie …
Pretty Hair Thingy
Went to the Renaissance faire at Sterling Forest on Sunday and I left my lovely leaf crown at home! To take its place I bought a golden beaded corkscrew hair goodie, which I think looks just SO magical! You can purchase yours at: http://hairtwisters.com/ Mine is the 4 inch gold hair twister with black beads …
