Today is reveal Day for the Fiberactions Challenge. The word this time was "Embellish". I decided to try to use some restraint with this word. I tend to go a bit "Over the Top" with embellishing. In fact that's the name of one of the classes I teach "Over The Top Embellishing".
I used some of the fabric that I dyed using the "Straw dying" technique. (I'll share this with you as a tutorial some time this summer.) I just free-motion quilted the whole cloth top, then started coloring with my Gel Pens. (Just regular acid-free Gel pens used in scrap-booking). Beads, wire & threads were then placed wherever they wanted to go....
I placed a few mirrors, & attached with beads (below), & with a washer covered with thread above.
Last, but certainly not least I wanted to include my DS Brandon's latest posting of our newest family member, Miss Zoe....
