Using an old photo/film carousel thingy and a light fixture part from IKEA, I created a wall light. It's weird, I admit it, but I did it for a contest. Haven't heard back, so guess I didn't win. No matter, it looks kind of funky and works in my livingroom.
The sleeve of a sweater became a whimsical tree and for an extra touch I perched a wool bird at the top.
Green leaves...
strange beasties...
And hoot owl scarves. Lift the owls head and his body is a pocket.
I don't think there's an image of my "Dream" chair on this site yet. Here it is.
I made a new scarf and Lily immediately claimed it. She likes owls. Here she is modeling it. Can you spot the "model" pose? Leonidas got his pose in too.
I donated this scarf to the Martha Len fundraising event for the Tejas Storytelling Association. It sold for $45.00. Not bad!
Hand painted fabric, embroidery...beading. This one is about 4 years old.
I LOVE using buttons. It was tough sewing these babies on through the heavy canvas.
Some are hits and some are misses, but ALL were fun to make!
are heavy. Especially the black one with the copper leaves (Hidden). That one is my favorite. I am not too thrilled with the bright multi-colored one (I consider this one a definite miss. So it's called "Whoops".). I have made several memory board works. 
The Flower picture is for my mom. It is a layered collage.
It's wasteful and tragic to see heaps of broken glass and shattered pottery fragments scattered carelessly across the landscape. Think of the memories they represent. The loss of their value now that they are broken, chipped...imperfect. I like to gather up the pieces, stash them away and think of new ways to use them, to give them new meaning...value once again.
All my scarves have pockets. (So far)
Where are the pockets on this one?
Oh, Here they are.
I like birds.
This one has itty bitty feet.
"I Shut My Eyes" This piece hangs over my livingroom fireplace. The picture is on an old piece of wood, contains copper wallpaper, some magazine images for a 1930's Vogue and a poem that I wrote myself about connecting with my imagination and creativity.
An old evening bag that I added vintage buttons to as well as a braided strap of ribbons. The board it hangs from is an old table insert that has hooks I've collected over the years and an old glass door knob.
"Seasons" I painted this folkart on the back of a solid wood drawer front.
"Rebirth" An old wood carton, found pieces of glass, old glass bottle, old railroad nails, wire, little bitty old light bulbs. The poem reads 
Wovely Wooly Scarves!
I made this last winter. I used acrylic paints, texturing medium, old copper wallpaper, magazine pages, scrabble tiles, beads...
