This piece measures 4" x 6". I am going to make it into a larger soft sculpture piece. I am getting sore fingers from all the hand sewing so I used my machine for most of this.I stated by painting gesso on some muslin fabric. Then when it dried I drew my art design. I painted it with acrylics, then sewed on a fabric backing. It is stuffed to give it a nice feel. I hand stitched the edge and added fiber all around.
Thats it!

hey Tara, it's been so long since I looked at your blog/website/etc. (I've been severely limiting my computer time). Anyway, I love this fabric piece and the fact that it's actually painted on the fabric vs. being transferred. I like your regular paintings, too, but to me, the fabric and dimension gives the piece SO MUCH MORE depth than the flat canvas or paper- I think you should do more!!
