Quilted Vase

It seems I'm into making vessels these days.  This one started with the recycling piece of fabric I made using strips of pizza flyers, etc. that were put through a shredder.  This was a wonderful tip learned from Nancy Yule.  I alternated the paper strips with eyelash yarn and then covered it with a piece of shimmering turquoise organza before quilting it.

Trinket Box

I've been using some of the tin foil embellished fabric I've been experimenting with to make this box.  There are multiple layers of paint, perfect pearls, copper foiling and organza.  The 'feet' are wooden semi spheres that I painted to match.  The nob on top is a wooden 'bead' that I painted and then I stacked some beads on top to add interest.  I embellished it with the copper eyelash yarn, but I'm not sure I like the curved application.  Maybe next time I'll try putting it on straight or leaving it off all together.
