"Sheer Hearts" 10"X16"
I have the new needle felting machine and what do I work on? A little piece using fabric paper, some sheers and little hearts. Not a bit of needle felting on this piece but I guess we follow the muse, wherever he leads us. He? She? Whatever. I think this piece started as an experiment with some molding paste I recently purchased.
Do you see the "AND" sign there? The ampersand? I have some brass letter stencils I picked up at a garage sale and have wanted to use them. The new molding paste was also waiting to be used so I put the two together on this piece of fabric paper. After it dried I painted the ampersand. I found some old friendly plastic and heated that up and used some rubber stamp leafs on it to make the shiny green bits. Added fabric beads and sequined hearts.
The same technique using molding paste with the "J" down in the right hand bottom corner. That is a painted domino next to the J and I glued a key onto it.
Added a tag where a hole showed up between the fabric and the paper. I hammered a piece of copper wire and stitched it to the top to serve as a hanging thingy. Also used more keys, painted dryer sheets, ribbons and stencils. This was a fun little piece, must be inspired by Valentines day coming up. Or then again, maybe not. I will put it in my Etsy shop after I reopen it which I have not done yet.
Hope you all are staying safe and warm. Be well.
