I am really enjoying this fabric art/collage thingie, and have already started on another. Here, I dyed some cheesecloth with a paint mixture I made...I just love that texture. I layered that over a piece of coffee stained muslin that I stamped with one of my script stamps. I stamped the "heart's desire" on muslin and sewed that to the heart I cut out of muslin. I sewed the heart onto a beautiful piece of rose colored fabric with a great dot pattern on it, that I received in my winning package from Lorraine Stobie from the OWOH giveaway. If your looking for great fabric swatches, this lady makes the most beautiful ones...WOW . Added some lace that I coffee stained also to the bottom, and some vintage buttons from my stash....all sewn on a piece of natural batting. The bow thing at the bottom was kind of an accident. I had torn some strips of the muslin to adjust the size earlier, and they were laying on the table. It was just a moment of looking at them , picked them up and tied a knot, then I distressed that with some rose distress ink, and stamped some text on there also. I think that is it, although I know it didn't go in that order! I am not sure if I should put eyelets in it to hang, or just leave it be....any thoughts? I am not sure what to even do with this, I just know that I like it.
Thanks for stopping by, and I would love to know your opinion here.

Sharon, this is most beautiful just like it is. I can see it mounted in it's own little frame, maybe shadow box. You are so making me want to get out all of my fabric! Stay warm up there in the tundra. Sending you warm, spring thoughts. Hugs, LeAnn
I agree with LeAnn, I love things framed...A frame showcases an item so nicely.
It would, of course, be lovely as a wall hanging. I think it could also be easily turned into a pouch for a piece of special jewelry...
Duh! Forgot to mention the most important part. It is gorgeous!!!!
Sharon, I really love it! You put your heart in to this for sure...loved hearing all of the details about the process. I absolutely love fabric collages..and would sure like to make one if only I knew where to start. :-)
I love the idea of framing it...but then again--a little pouch for jewelry..but probably framing it to preserve it--WHATEVER--it's beautiful!!
WOW!!!! I can understand why you are enjoying it. Gorgeous!

Ohhh, how lovely, Sharon! No matter the medium, your creativity shines through! I'd try to incorporate this into a special little bag or pillow. It begs to be held!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
i really like what you have created, sharon! The combination of the hand painted/dyed cheesecloth, the coffee-stained lace and the stamping and other fabrics make it work very well. I think i like the addition of the cheesecloth the best, the airy texture is great.
The "accident" is not an accident at all. i love it! How about more of that handmade ribbon sewn at 2 points on the top? Then you could hang it by tying that around a dowel or anything else for that matter. yummy, yummy, yummy is what i have to say - you go girl!

You have such a wonderful gift of putting your heart and soul into your creatioins, so that we can see them!!
