More Fabric Collage

Here are the pictures I tried to show you yesterday. They're more components of the fabric collages I'm working on. Most of the pieces I'm adding to the collage contain "scraps" that I picked up at the flea market. I imagine they were a part of someone's clothes at some point. Now they're a part of my art! If their owners only knew... Lelainia, do you recognize your celluloid buttons from Fiberfest?

I picked up my banner yesterday, but they need to redo it. Ugh. Surprisingly, my name is spelled correctly. However they inserted 6 grommets instead of the 4 I asked for. The extra two are right in the center and really draw your eye there instead of to my name. I was really specific about placement, so thankfully they will redo it at no charge.
That's about it. Nothing too exciting to report. I'm just happily working away in my studio... making slow but sure progress. Working with fabric these past couple of weeks has been refreshing and inspiring. I think that's why I love the term "mixed media" so darned much. It's basically a license to do anything you want.

Today I'm going to combine both worlds and do some painting on the fabric. Nothing major... just some stamping and maybe some dry brushing. I'll keep you informed. Are you dying to see the entire piece yet? Maybe I'm not building as much suspense as, say, "Snakes on a Plane", but I'm doing my best.
