My latest piece is mostly finished. This one is like Sheer Hearts, built on fabric paper, using sheers, painted dryer sheets, dyed lace, dyed batting strips, paper, beads and other bits and pieces.
Keeping Secrets
9"X 14"
I found a feather in the yard so I added it.
I think
Susan might have given me this little bird print. I colored it a bit with pencils.
Dyed doily from my recent dyeing experience.
I still need to put a backing on it and sign and label it. Anyone want it? I think I'll give it away, in honor of having 93 followers and 148 posts. I'll pick a winner out of comments. I wonder if I will hit 100 followers by years end?
Listening to Greg Brown. A friend recently sent me a stack of live recorded shows that will take me awhile to get through. I will give
you a copy of one of these shows too. Just ask.
Be Well.

Dear Jan,
as I got recently a give-away from your group I will not take part, but write you nevertheless a comment. Your needlework is like reading newspaper, it tells me a lot more than words. Have a big hug dear friend and hopefully next time it will have more sunshine at your place!!
