Pansies

My Pansies are blooming.

I was looking thru my bin of old projects and found this one with a pansy theme. As I look at it now - a couple years later I wonder why I didn't dye the lace ecru color! It stands out too much in the stark white. Oh well. It was a fun piece to put together.

Believe

Believe... in yourself... in your art.. in your life...

HOPE

Hope is a powerful thing.

Here is the encyclopedias explanation of HOPE:

HOPE is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance – i.e., believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.

This piece is 5"x7" and started with an antique silk crazy quilt piece. It will be listed on eBay Sunday evening. Super size image by clicking on it.

Crazy Quilt Gargoyle

I found a Gargoyle in my Crazy Quilt.

He's staring out at me with not a happy face. He makes me feel guilty for cutting up the antique crazy quilt and doing my altered fabric art collage thingie to it. I almost feel like he's saying STOP! Stop cutting and restore this quilt!!!

Humn... Maybe... I've only cut one 7" strip off the quilt so far, it's still a nice piece... but then I wouldn't have a crazy quilt to alter if I stopped. What to do what to do...
