BEAUTIFUL FRENCH LACE + DECORATIVE FABRIC PIECES
When I was last in Paris, I found a couple of boxes of lace and fabrics full of vintage and newer pieces. Being such a hoarder, I couldn’t resist and sent it all back home to Australia. I now realize I won’t be able to use all of it, so gradually I will be listing small amounts in my shop.
Atelier in Paris
Pieces of delicate French lace and fabrics at different lengths. Perfect for sewing, craft, wedding, altered art journals, altered dolls, scrap booking, handmade cards, collage and art projects type fabric in pastel pinks and greens.
I don’t know yet what I’ll create with the lace and fabric, as it’s just too beautiful to use .
Any ideas?
January 1st, 2011
I have heaps of travel catalogs that I hate to throw away so I recycle them into notebooks, journals and artist books .I make each book cover as a separate collage piece – OOAK.
I re-use all my jotting and doodling paper I keep beside the computer so when I get a pile I create a book. In my books you may come across scribbles an idea a thought budgets old exhibition invites artist postcards catalog covers pages botched print- outs advertising materials junk mail magazine cut-outs-stickers wallpaper tags and baguette bags from Paris computer keyboard keys old cheque butts and more……I wire bound them with my binding machine and sometimes I join them with punched holes with ribbons , wire,cord just whatever is around.
They can be used for doodles and sketching to jot things down ideas thoughts lyrics words travel or artists journal whatever u want.
It’s fun making them,I must make more…

“ROOM WITH A VIEW”
The inspiration behind my latest series of screen printed handmade petite cushions…
When I’m in Paris this is the view I see from my bedroom window. Most timesI see a big grey cat ( la Chat) scampering over the terracotta rooftops. He jumps from building to building with such grace and balance without any fear at all.
Petite Cushions
Gorgeous hand- made petite cushion made from 100% raw cotton duck canvas. Printed with high quality enviromentally friendly water based fabric inks with French grosgrain ribbon, looped to hang. The silkscreen print was created from my original drawing.
Petite Size – 6×4.5 inches = 16 x 12cm.approx.
Ideas
A touch of French chic for your home.
Hang it from a scrolled hook or door handle.
A unique addition to the boudoir, a brooch or decorative hat pin holder.
Dangle it from your wrist as a generous pin cushion or in the sewing room…
