Ribbon of Silver Done!

I did struggle with this one. It needed to be completed and delivered to my local Art Association. The theme of the show was "Capturing Light." I machine needle felted my own hand dyed silk and some ribbon down onto another of my hand dyed cotton fabric. Then I machine quilted using my trusty home sewing machine. I machine needle felted a dyed (Not my own) silk hankie onto water soluable sheet and machine embroidered. I also machine embroidered a netting as well to stuff into the center. I ended up reshaping the piece and stretched it onto a 12x12" frame. Done!

Completed "A Perfect Day"

I couched some fishing netting and beaded some beach treasures to finish up "A Perfect Day." That's the title of the music sheet I included in the piece. I'm happy with it now!

My Jacksonville fiber group, FAN, is donating a collaborative piece to the Humane Society and we're doing fish! These are two of mine which may or may not make the final piece. I had a great time creating! The jelly fish is a dyed silk cap which I placed between 2 layers of soluble plastic and machine embroidered, then added the various fibers before partially washing out the soluble stuff. The fish is a stuffed odd shaped pillow like body, wrapped with gold thread and beads. The wire was couched on at the end. Fun, is all I can say!
