So this is Keeping it together 2.  I however had taken it apart and reworked it.  I have to say that I loved using the zipper around the picture as part of the piece.  My keeping it together series is representative of my feeling sometimes that I am falling apart at the seams and I have to keep it together just another day.  My next one is either buttons or this stuff that I really don't know what it's called and I suppose it doesn't matter as long as it keeps it together.  Blessings to all.

I thought I would start showing some of the things I have worked on.  Maybe a bit about them.  This is a small quilt, the canvas it is mounted on is 8x8 it was stamped with flowers that well not that great but so a sheer piece of fabric is over the top of that.  Each flower was printed on a laser jet after being manipulated color wise on the computer.  The four squares are pieced together and have been hand stiched and beaded. 

Have really been working on lots of new ideas.  Rusting fabric is so cool.  The mono printing fabric some of it is great others don't like so much.  Learning as I go.  Collecting cans now so that I can emboss them.  Who knew mom bought a new toy I could use for making artwork, and recycling at the same time.  Thanks Mom.
The GnomeKing has been helping me make silkscreens.  We are doing these not with silkscreen material yet.  We are using fabric and modepoge to do the work.  I am doing originals, he has been trying some things off the cricket.  We have both been spending lots of time in the studio working away.  Hope to get some of the art and quilts on the website shop soon.  Plus get some of the Gnomes work in progress.  Think you'll find it cool. 

Peace and Love to all.
