PAPER-FABRIC COLLAGE -WONDERFULL FINDS

Even it is forbitten for me,right now, to create anything else than dolls,I just have to

get papers and fabrick together in my hands,now and then.

And so I made this collage the other night, using the beautifull Paper Whimsy

image, old laces, small punched tags, and added a little purse,

on the old book cover.

Saturday I went to an antique show, where I was very lucky to find lots of

old fhotographs, and albums, for a  (for Denmark ) cheap money

See the little shoes and the red velvet album

an old box, also with red fabric inside and a mirror

and sooo many of those wonderfull  photoes.

I will scan some for you, dear friends.

This was the sky friday evening, have you ever seen something that beautifull, in

gold and pink?

Here the children are autumn free from school, this week-so my dear little family

will visit us in the end of the week- I can`t wait to see them-

Have the most wonderfull monday, all sweet friends-

the weather is fantastic,this morning,here --cold,crisp-and sunny.

Love and hugs

Not only did she send an old needlework magazine, but she added lots of

beautifull old ephemera--:

a bunch of old wallpaper sheets, so lovely, in those

pastel colors I like ,very much.

Old cards, and photoes-and funny" tickets"

This is a beautifull image from a magazine

and look at this beautifull cower from  a 1918 magazine.

There are so many gorgeus motives inside to use.

I`m very thankfull Beth ,for all the lovely things you send me,

made a piece,and Solvejg made a bunch of those pieces,for me.

I think they looks real good!!

They are app. 5 inches both high and wide-

Thankyou so much for your wonderfull help, today, dear.

Ofcourse I also worked myself....

pink fabric piece-and the silk ribbon rolled around a sweet beautifull

rose-tag--- I adore it all.

But what you are all waiting to see --the pincussion-is the most beautifull work,of art.

See how Diane hand-embroidered this sweet thing, all over the top.(PLEASE CLICK THE PHOTO TO SEE THE DETAIELS)

My own version of Beth`s mini gothic quilt

I still haven`t had time to make all the lovely projects,from

Beth`s and Karla`s workshop

But yesterday after finishing 3 angels, I gave myself permission

to make this mini Gothic quilt.

As I was in a hurry, and did not have any image from the workshop printed on fabric,I chose something ,quite different--a beautifull PaperWhimsy girl.

I used a most beautifull old kerchief with tulle,

and a wonderfull old handembroidered flacon. I added a little "bag" as the leather purses I have ,was far too,big!

Inside the pocket ,is two small tags.One a copy of a beautifull tag, I recieved from Diane,in a swap

we just did.I will blog about it when she has recieved my swap packet.

The piece is all white, and cream, --only photografed upon a green velvet chair!!!

Last week I found a ,for me , new shop :  My Broken Art Etsy shop

Where I bought a bunch of rusted old treasures, to use in collages--

but also this lovely roses

and a piece of handstamped and handcolored ribbon.

the color is much more beautifull, pinkisch,than shown here,

but you can see the how beautifull the background , and the stamps are.

How was / is your day, dear friends? I hope,- happy.

Blessings,

love and hugs,

Dorthe
