First Kiss

Again another transfer. I promise that's the last one for a while, but you have to fill the sheet up don't you!!!  Just simply transferred onto a piece of white scrim and mounted onto a piece of duck egg scrim and sewn onto a backing piece which had previously been dyed.  I hand stitched with embriodery thread the 'x's and then attempted to write 'first kiss' with the thread.  For a first attempt at the writing, I think it's come out ok.

Green Eyed Goddess

Again another transfer image, hand stitched onto other fabrics.  I frayed the edges of the bottom piece and was going to put tassles all the way round, but it took me absolutely ages just to do the bottom, so I left it at that!!!!!

Finders, Keepers

I love this piece, not only for the colours but the range of materials used.  I transferred the images onto the white cottom scrim.  The next layer would you believe is a thick dishcloth which I painted with magenta and plum silk paints which I picked up at The Range at the weekend.  Next is a layer of lilac tulle and finally a layer of burgandy thick felt (again from The Range). I sewed all the layers together using a straight stitch and went over it with a zig-zag stitch.  I added the piece of fibre around the edge using the widest zig-zag stitch.  Using my craft tool I burnt away some of the felt and tulle.  If you try this, make sure you are in a well ventilated room, as it really does give off some fumes.

Sweet Hearts

The background fabric was stamped with stream acrylic paint using the T!m Holtz alteration die as a foam stamp which I'd previously made.  The printed image has been transferred onto a piece of white cottom scrim and backed with a piece of green patterned curtain fabric.  I frayed the edges on both pieces.  Using the largest zig-zag stitch on my machine I sewed on the fibres to create a frame.

Friends with a Dream

This piece was very simple to make.  I printed the images from my computer, ironed them onto the pre dyed fabric (calico) and simply sewed the piece on top of the organza (which came with the gold decor) and the patterned base fabric.  Using the threads I added the beads.

Fabric Transfers

Using a pack of T-shirt transfer paper which I found in my stash by accident, I decided to play around to see what fabrics it could successfully be transferred to.  As you can see it worked pretty well on this previously dyed piece. I also used a piece of netting, a piece of napkin, felt cut into a heart shape and a piece of suede effect fabric.  I frayed some edges and wrapped everything in a piece of red tulle, added decorative stitching (especially to the corners) and some buttons.

****EDITED*****

Yes, you are quite right it is PINK, and yes, I am feeling ok, thanks for your concern!!!!  Watch this space for the other colours!!!!
