Monthly Art Project 15 March 2018

Project series I started in a class
Project Series II
Project Series III
I started this project in a class with Cutting Edge Textiles "Allie" was the tutor
We had such an interesting time with much fun We tried many techniques This was a fabulous Workshop
These pieces were made using calico for base and chiffon as background I fussy cut some heads & other designs from a piece of a African fabric and included these I also used lace scraps, wool, and embellished them with embroidery and beads
   

Monthly Art Project 15 Feb 2018

I joined Monthly Art Project for 2018
I decided it was a good incentive to finish all UFO's, BOM, and kits I received over the years


This was a BOM I purchased in 2011 and decided to do this as my 1st MAP
