"Live each Season" Fabric Collage

Hello! I hope that you're having a great weekend.

Today my hubby had an all-day class about something fun for him, so I decided that I would do a few chores this morning, and then spend a little time having some fun myself. Up to the studio I headed!

My studio also acts as a guest room if we

have a lot of company.

At the foot of this bed...

...is an old steamer trunk,

on which there sits these two boxes...

One box stores zip lock baggies that contain vintage photos

grouped in themes so that I can grab them quickly when I

have a particular project in mind...

...and the other box stores vintage lace, which I need to remove

from these little baggies that they came in and make them

easier to work with...

I have been longing to create some beach-themed art,

so this is one that I worked on today.

I love these ladies looking out to the sea with

their backs to the camera.

I wonder where they actually were

when this photo was taken, likely back

in the twenties ...

A shell found on the beach when we were at the shore

a few weeks ago,

along with lots of old lace, some bling, and

a piece of old brown velvet ribbon...

...and with a small piece of driftwood

purchased in a shop on our trip...

This time I opted for machine sewing and only the rhinestone button was sewn on by hand. The driftwood and shell were glued. An easy way to go!

Have a great evening.
