In the Misty Moonlight was so easy and fun. I spread Amanda's white and pale pink wool roving thinly across a preprinted piece of sky fabric, added glass and frame, and presto! Done. I think it looks really cool close up -- click on it to see. Now why do I spend so much time on those others???

I just love creating small fabric landscapes. This one is 5x7" and often I choose the frame and then make match the fabrics to it -- I am definitely a "color" mood person. The fun thing about this one is that I used the same fabric for the 1st and last mountain ranges -- I just turned it sideways and there were yellow and green streaks in it that weren't in the upper piece. I really like working with variegated fabrics, especially hand dyed ones. I also enjoy using the selvages from fabric as grass as in this one; some of the colors you get on fabrics are realy cool when frayed. This one is in the Damselfly shop.
I love working small and I believe this is the smallest fabric landscape I've made except for the fabric postcards. Sometimes I leave them very plan, no top or decorative stitching, and when I do I always put glass over them. Some people like them plain, others like a lot of stitching -- different strokes! This one is for sale in my booth.

The last of the handmade gifts. I can't BELIEVE I forgot to take a photo when it was framed. Chalk it up to the last minute rush. I made this small fabric landscape for my therapist, a wonderful doctor who has seen me through some very rough spots in life and to whom I will be eternally grateful!I added some silk roving over the mountains to give a misty appearance-- pale blue and golden yellow, just before I added nonglare glass and a rustic handmade frame. I wanted to do a KY scene but my fingers kept pulling out those southwestern colors! Fortunately, she told me she has a couple of southwestern pieces in her home.

What I've been working on. I just completed and delivered this 8x10 fabric landscape to my dear friend Gina for Christmas. It was a lot of fun -- we both love Southwest scenes. I used my 30 year old Singer and it has a dog pattern on it. Gina has a Minpin she loves so this had to have a little doggy in it. I was afraid she'd think it was a coyote but she recognized the dog right off. Click on it to see the detail.
