Grasses Close-Up

 I've been working on several fiber pieces at a time since I got back from Greece,  so I also finished several of them at once. Here is another piece from that series.  I think there may be a couple more in the works, will let you know.  This is a window in a small village where we had lunch, small and very old.  I added the church domes that were so interesting, a blue the same color as the sky.

I love, love indigo dyed fabric and found this wonder piece at the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe last year.  So I've looked at it, and petted it, and finally got up the nerve to cut it and make it into a wearable tunic.  As you can see, I just Had to do something else to it, so did some hand stitching on the bodice, pockets and sleeves.  The second photo shows the pockets.
I saved every little bit of the leftover fabric and will use it in some other work.  Indigo is precious.

Here is a new piece that I just finished.  Embellisher using dyed wool and silk roving on scrim and felt, along with hand dyed fabrics, small pieces of yarn, then machine and hand stitched, with small glass buttons added.  Mounted on a stretched canvas for display.  9" X 12" 

 I'll be teaching this class at the Janome Sewing Center in Santa Fe in early December.  If you're going to be around you can sign up or stop by.  We'll be having lots of fun playing with whatever we can find.
