been craftin'

A very sad bowl, titled "I miss my mommy".....papier mache, child's drawing (xeroxed!) painted newsprint, mod podge, colored tissue.
a cowl made from cotton yarn, size 15 circular needles. 45 stitches, knit knit knit knit until you stop.
Look what a half and half container can become....half and half carton, glue, modpodge, colored tissue.
little light up houses made from felt
(a vintage mohair scarf). These are teeny, and can fit in your hand.

Sunrises

I'm  really into making sunrise collages out of paint samples I take from Home Depot, it must be the spring invading my brain.

Fabric....



















I got this AWESOME fabric from the Pawtucket Antique Mall for like 4 bucks. The tag says it's from the 70s. It's all so cool I don't know what to do with it.

Ideas?
