A little about my textile art.....
My vintage fabric collages combine my love of vintage textiles and my love of words. Words are powerful and a beautiful phrase can evoke such emotion. My collage designs are built around the wise words of an old poet or author, which I handstitch in a simple lettering. I use vintage fabrics, laces, buttons, etc...all handstitched in a unique way to mirror the words - there is always a little mystery with the finished product, but if you look closely you will see the simple beauty of the words reflected in the design. I collect old vintage frames throughout the year to frame each collage in. Below is a sampling of some of my pieces....

Hi Amy! Thanks for stopping by and for the sweet compliment. I do my best to be a "good girl" when I write, but sometimes the feelings and words just tumble out uncensored! ;0] Expression is good for the soul...at least I believe so...and it's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission.=o] Your blog as well as your creations are absolutely gorgeous! xoxo
so pretty!
