After watering my potted plants outside-and doing the laundry this morning, I sooo wanted to make a collage in my studio. So I found some old laces, embroideries-and an old drawing I transferred to fabric,some time ago .
I added old music sheet ,a piece of teabag -stamped with a leaf pattern
and made a small rosette from some lovely seambinding I just bought. ISEN`T THE OLD EMBROIDERY BEAUTIFUL?
For some time I have bought old sweet cups-with or without saucers-as I have been so inspired seing my dear friend Dawn ,and others making pincussions inside cups.
So yesterday I made those 3 cups-one in brown tones-and two in pink--I used lace embroidery-velvet -flowers-and added a few pins. My romantic heart likes them very much.
And look here, at last the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom-I can`t wait to see the many trees near by- full of those beautiful flowers.
How was and are your saturday, my dear friends?
I hope it is as lovely as mine was-and wishes you all a beautiful sunday.
.I dearly hope all our friends in the south of US are all well ,and not affected by the monstroues tornadoes.
Love and hugs, to you,near and far .
Dorthe

Hi Dorthe,
I LOVE your fabric collage. I have a copy of this image too and just adore it. The embellishments you used are fabulous. All the lacey goodness and the stamped tea bag is a great idea. I love your rosette you made with the seambinding is terrific.
Your tea cup pincushions are the sweetest. I think my favorite is the first one (only because it matches my craft room...lol! But the pink ones are wonderful too.
Aren't cherry blossoms beautiful?
Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations and beautiful spring flowers with us.
Hope your weekend was splendid.
Hugs,
Sonya

Sweet Dorthe
Such gorgeous creations flowing easily from your hands again! The collage is truely sweet - the image, the old lace, the rosette and I love the stamped teabag - it looks like organza! And those very beautiful pincushions - they look so Victorian!
Such pretty cups used so creatively. You have inspired me here! I just love the beautiful embroidery and brown tonings - it feels so earthy!
Have a wonderful day!
Sending you big hugs sweet friend.

Good Morning Dorthe! Oh, everything is just so sweet. I love the way you ruffled the laces around the edges of the pincushions. This is just a wonderful way to use those "orphan" teacups, isn't it!
And how clever of you to stamp on the used teabag! Think of all the things we throw away that we could use in our crafts! But...we'd never have room to store it all! LOL!
Have a Happy Sunday.
Blessings, Diane
Your collage is so beautiful, dearest Dorthe! The embroidered piece is really pretty and I love how you used it to create an arc above the image.
The pincushions are so sweet and look so romantic. You did a wonderful job, sweetie!
I love blooming trees and enjoyed seeing a lot of them this morning. It's just my favorite time of the year.
Have a great afternoon!
Viele, allerliebste Grüße, mange kys og knus natürlich auch :-)

Hello Dorthe!
Your pincushion cups are the most beautiful I have ever seen!!! Made with real talent! How I admire your way to mix everything so perfectly together...Also that textil collage has good composition and colours :-)
Like it a lot too!!
Have a nice week!
How very pretty! I love your collage. It's just so perfect and so sweet and your little pincushions are adorable.
Have a lovely day.

I LOVE your collage! And the brown tea cup pin cushion. They are so much fun aren't they? I found a tea cup that was the same pattern as my Grandmothers & made one with old lace & mother of pearl buttons. Soooooooo pretty to look at & such a fun way to make something different. Thanks for sharing.
Charlene
Dorthe,
LOVE your collage!
And stamping on the tea bag, how clever! You know I save mine for tea bag roses, but hear is yet another idea for them.
My fave tea cup pin cushion is the smallest pink one. So tiny and sweet, but all are lovely.
Thank you for creating such beauty for us to see.

Such sweet tea cup pincushions! What a perfect use for those pretty cups. The pink ones are so soft and pretty and I love the warm vintage look of the cream and brown one!
Your collage is wonderful - you've inspired me to try a collage or two myself...I hope them next week.
Your blog is always so full of inspiration!
What beautiful pincushions! The collage is a dream. How talented you are! I do enjoy spring, it is the best season of all.
Joy to you today sweetie!

Hello Dorthe
The fabric collage is so beautiful, a touching image.
The pincushions in a teacup, shabby, faded romance .... perfection.
Your Blog is always such an inspirational place to visit.

Thank You for such a special comment for me to read about "She Knew No Fear". It was lovely to share my news with friends of my Blog
Everything is so beautiful! I love all the elements you put into your collage! The mother & child image is darling. Those pincushion cups turned out so pretty. One of these days, I must try my hand at an art project! For now, I will just admire the wonderful things others make!
