Spent Ten Days At The Beach .....

I just returned home after spending ten days at the beach. While I was there, I took some time to work on some of my "junk" art pieces. There are a couple of shops in the area that sell these pieces for me. One shop is The Grove in Mexico Beach. It is a very cute shop with great items (www.thegroveofmexicobeach.com)
This piece is made from a piece of driftwood that I found on the beach.

"DOGS"

I have a couple of "stitched" dogs to share.


The first is "SPOT":

And next is "OLD Blue":

"fOR JENNIE"

"FOR JENNIE"

This fiber art piece was made for my niece, Jennie, who loves to shop. The brown shoe is made with a tie that belonged to her grandfather (my father). I also embellished with jewelry that belonged to her grandmother (my mother).

"VASE OF ROSES"

"VASE OF ROSES"

This is another fiber art piece. The flowers have a lot of "texture" - I used yarn, ribbons, beads and buttons.

SIENA

This is a commissioned piece of fiber art that I recently completed. It is a view of the campo in Siena, Italy.

"MAY TODAY BE ONE OF YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITES"

This piece was painted on the fabric and then embroidered and embellished. The face has a lot of embroidery stitches.

I hope today is one of your all time favorites.

"Wizard"

Growing up, "The Wizard of Oz" was a favorite in our house. I have three sisters. The only time that we could eat in front of the television, was when "The Wizard of Oz" was on. So, about once a year, my mother spread a towel in front of the tv and the four of us lined up to eat dinner and watch the wizard. Boy, have times changed. Too often, I find myself eating in front of the tv.
