It's been awhile (again) since I posted. Sheesh, where does the time go?
This is a postcard I did for the American Quilt Society auction. Any funds received will go towards the museum and purchase of quilts, etc. Sooo....a great cause! I wish I was quicker in my stitching...i'd do a few more for them, but the pc's need to be in Kentucky by the first of March!
This is of a little fairie tending to her butterfly of an evening. She is carrying her little lantern that I beaded to create a glowing effect. I added metallic french knots to the top of the tulip and beads to the front lip of the tulip. Also beaded the stem as it wasn't showing up well. Added some little glass flowers and a metallic french knot dragonfly in the top left corner...which isn't terribly visible. The whole card is hand quilted...to my limited abilities in that department. Then the final touch of the eye lash yarn around the edge.
Also under the flower beads I did some feather stitching and fly stitching to create a sort of "fern" effect.

CC w cow
I just had to post a pic of my "guy"! He is one of fur kids that I LOVE to death! It's not really a super duper pic....and I tried a LOT of shots...but you can see he's snuggling up with a little stuffed cow I have. He's been notorious for this with teddies too! To the extent that he and his partner in crime decorated our backyard with a bunch of them when they were little! Anyway...he's been pretty good til now! :_) Wonder what else he's plotting!?!?!? :_O
OCB bra back
My computer was giving me SUCH a hassle last night, I gave up for the day! Soooo....here we are....a bright, sunny, slightly breezy but gorgeous day in Colorado. Renewed hope that I can post this with minimal difficulties! LOL!!
The back of the bra is primarily beaded. I personally LOVE the google eyed fish on the right. They just add a little bit of my humor I guess. The straps of the bra were done with a feather stitch and beaded to help pull it all together with the beads cascading down from them to blend with the se life. I finally found some fringe for the bottom that helped pull the whole thing together. It was an interesting process to create this. I didn't know from minute to minute quite what I was going to do next....and found I didn't want to ! Planning cq just hasn't worked for me as well as flying by the seat of my pants so to speak! LOL!!! Anyway, the closure was entirely covered with the lining, which is velvet. I then applied snaps on the inside and on the outside added two clamshell beads with the smaller beads to continue the illusion of the deep sea.
Guess i've babbled enough. Off to get a few things done! Like figuring out how to blog links that I seem to be hopeless at!

OBM bra closeup
I haven't posted in a bit and thought I better get something up! Goodness!
This is a pic of the completed front of the ArtBra I completed for a local challenge being held at a quilt store in Denver. I called it Oceans Blue Mystery. It has tons of beading on it and lots of little surprises. It took a little bit to complete but it was a good experience! Hopefully you can see a bit of the work that was done...like the ruched ribbon, the chain stitch seaweed, the BE lobster and fish, to name a few!
