Fabric and Paper Collage: "Intermezzo" and "Dance of the Daisies"...

Good morning. I hope that you're having a great day! Well, we are headed up the Birdsong, so I probably won't get a chance to post for the next several days.

Believe it or not, I did manage to get in some creative time on Sunday and Monday. I played around with a product that I had never used before. It did not amount to any "creations", but it was fun getting my hands dirty! When I get home I will see where it takes me. More on that in another post.

Lately, I do not seem to have much time for artful creations, so I decided to do some fabric and paper collage using a minimal amount of elements. I thought it would be fun to see see what I could come up with in a short space of time. 

I have had this old photo for quite awhile.

I printed it out onto computer printer fabric,

and collaged it with scraps of

vintage sheet music and fabrics.

I added some pieces of old lace,

along with foreign postage stamps that were on one

of my eBay packages.

I used my sewing machine to sew it onto a backing

of cotton duck cloth...

 

I placed it in this old frame, using it as a prop.

I kind of like the way it looks,

but am not yet sure what I will do with this piece.

Actually, the frame doesn't look half bad...

I have had this old daisy plate for a long time.

I actually used it as a drip plate under flower pots.

Then I recently purchased this old sheet music,

and then the old photo of the little girl with the daisies

in her hair.

I couldn't resist making this simple little piece!

Sometimes it's so much fun to just make something without a lot of planning, isn't it? Thanks for spending this time with me!
