Textile art mini quilt



This measures approx 8 x 10. I have been making a lot of fabric pieces lately but I need to get back to painting my "creatures". As an artist is it important to stay focused on a certain style or to make different types of art. I'm waiting for a certain gallery to notice my work, but I don't want my sites to look like all I make is textile pieces. So,,,,, back to painting,,,,which I love to do too!

Too many choices, so little time!

Textile art collage

This piece measures about 8 x 8 inches. It is created on heavy fabric canvas. The wording is fabric. One of the trees is made out of a vintage fabric yo yo. I painted the houses on muslin fabric, then machine stitched them onto heavy canvas. I gessoed the fabric before I painted it to give it a stiffness. After I finished sewing the pieces I painted the trees over the top with acrylic paint.

There once was a king...


who thought he owned every ones' heart. He felt if he hung unto his own long enough, no one else could have it...
