Sneak Peek

 Sadly some sort of a computer glitch has caused all of the images in this post to disappear, and I am unable to correct the problem.  Sorry!
It seems like such a long time since I showed you any fibre art.  Well, it's not that I haven't been working on any, but rather what I've been working on is taking a long time.  I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek at what the piece is starting to look like.  Here are a couple of close-ups of two different areas on the piece.



A few years ago I bought this little package of buttons at the dollar store and there were a few 'rejects' that had only 1 hole, or in one case 3 holes.  That might be a problem for a seamstress or a tailor, but for me it was a great windfall.  Isn't this one fun with the stitching and little beads in the centre to fill that lonely hole.

Hopefully I'll be able to post the finished piece in the next week or so.  I hope I've piqued your curiosity. :o)

Connected By A Thread

...or maybe that should read "hanging by a thread". LOL

Inspired by the 2012 ONN (Ontario Needleworker's Network) theme 'Connected', this evolved as a bit of a journal piece.  All of the felted squares are connected by a path of beads that seems to be wandering about without any real purpose or direction.  Some areas have been cut away to represent things that are falling apart and they are barely being held together by haphazard threads.  The buttons and safety pins are an attempt to further 'hold it all together'.
