Another fiber necklace with a handmade acrylic-like cat. I didn't make the cat but it was hand made.

A fabric collage I made for my dear friend Lin -- a while back -- fabric and mixed media.

A paper sculpted heart I made in a class -- as bad as this one is, all the others I tried were worse!

Fabric ATC for Janet.

A fabric ATC (2.5 x 3.5") sent in to Quilting Arts fabric ATC challenge.

This postcard is rubber stamping on Lutradur and was entered in a Quilting Arts challenge. It also has some angelina fibers and a bit of added color with markers. Definitely need a lot of practice with this!

This is the very first fabric landscape I made -- started in a class and finished at home. These are SO much fun. It's a little hard to see the details because of the glass but if you click on the image you can get the detail.

I was supposed to do my portrait in fabric but just couldn't decide what to do so did this instead.

Samples of some of my very early papermaking attempts.

Second attempt - marbled paper.

My very first marbled sheet -- I have a long way to go.

Mosaics made with black mat-board (a bit thicker than the usual and black all the way through) topped with bits and pieces of left-over and altered heavy water-color paper. Used for little book covers.

My first "flat person" -- a paper doll -- Paula Best stamp. More to come!

My first attempt at torn paper landscape. I used all handmade papers, some mine, some purchased.

This is my first felting attempt with the Pfaff 350. I started with a very dark red and green wool plain, matching solid red and solid green, yellow polyester felt, and then added bits of fibers. With the 90-100 degree days we've been having this month, I call this: Pining for Fall! I trimmed it to postcard size but will just put this in a book of samples. I had a tough time adjusting to using a slow speed with my hands and a faster speed with my foot pedal!!! This fabric art is going to be LOTS of fun.

No art this morning but just had to share our experience from 5:05 to 6:30 a.m. this morning. I set the alarm for 5:00 and DH and I went outside and watched the total lunar eclipse. It had just started to darken from the top of the moon -- which was a full bright moon -- gorgeous. We looked through a sort of telescope and were able to see it in all it's glory but it was also an awesome site to the human eye. It really did turn a gorgeous pinkish color. We couldn't see quite as much copper as in this photo taken in Utah. You can google for lots of stories and pics. When it was totally eclipsed, we took a short drive, hoping to see it start back to full moon but the trees were in our way everywhere we went so we gave up and came back home. Even with street lights, neighbors leaving for early work schedules, and outside house lights on, it was a fantastic view, right from our front yard!!!

I've added a lot of things I've recently made to my blog in the last few days. I would like to begin selling things from my blog so that I can give buyers a better price. It will also save me on consignment and booth fees, gasoline and delivery time. I will always mail the most economical way possible and I do not charge for packaging and handling -- only actual postage fees.

If you see anything interesting below that you'd like to buy, please email me for prices and details. I will try to accommodate all special requests.

I also have a lot of new things in the works that I will post as I develop them.

In addition I'll be posting new and used rubber stamps from my collection, as well as related art and craft supplies -- many different areas of interest. I am happy to make up collage packages and fabric/embellishment packages from my "stash."

If you are looking for anything special, please let me know. Special orders don't upset us!
Thanks for looking and please pass my blog along to anyone you think would be interested.

Happy Creating,
Lorraine

I have made a stack of these recently, in various colors. Inside is a flat measuring tape purchased at Joanne's. I also have a few of these I can make up and sell.

The town of Winchester, KY had a Red Hat convention this past weekend. Because that's where my little sales booth is, I made some Red Hat Cards. Their theme this year was cowgirls. I didn't have time to make all the different cards I would have liked to. The Wanted text and stars are Stampin' Up stamps and The Red Hat Gang text is a public domain font which I altered to match the Wanted stamp -- a wanted poster look. I used metallic pencils, pens and glitter pens. The card measures approx. 6"x6" and I made ennvelopes with red hat design scrapbook paper.

I will be making more of these in the future so feel free to order all you want!!!
