Thriving Ivory-Angels on the Moon

New Day

It is spring and so new beginnings are coming. For me it will be a continuation with new additions. I have decided to work on my type of art with a twist. I am writing tutorials, I am going to be adding my some guest artists on occasions, I will have a new web site to be announced here when I am up. I am blessed because my brother has his own server and my sister in law and he both know a lot web design, internet etc. I know the sewing and business end. Both of them are crafters also.

I am asking that all quilters, crafts people, jewelers, etc learn how to get along. Learn how to share your craft. I feel that this genre has become so nasty. After reading many blogs lately people are attacking other for getting our ideas out in the public. Here is the deal If you don't want your ideas out there don't post them. Plain and simple. How many computers do you think they are on? The surface design issue, please what does Moda fabric and Kate Spain expect.  As far as completely new designs how many are there really? Go back and look and look at older designs, quilt, fabric, art, clothing, etc. Just my humble opinion.

 

         Have a beautiful day!

Hugs Dorothy

I Am Moved In

I am moved in, and finally started working on projects again. Not without issues. Half of my things are still packed and in the garage, but that is okay. This will truly give me an idea of what I don't need, or what I need to replace. I discovered I had more fat quarters, cuts of fabric, than I had of fabric. Some of them are totally random. What was I thinking?

Anyway, want a peek at what I am working on. I will let you see if you promise not tell.

Silk daisy going on scarf.  The center is beaded.

A Christmas Present. Can you guess what it is?

Moon Dottie doll hand painted made to hold form.

Purple second spay on a silk scarf.  The results are divine!

A star Dotee doll I made for a trade.

Not Done. It's a Christmas Present! Needs borders and quilting.

                                                                    

So really I have been trying to work. I hope you like the work.

By the way I LOVE Tennessee

Happy Crafting and Keep Smiling 

I Am Moving

Memi and I are getting ready to move to Tennessee in late June. Since the middle of April Memi and I have experienced some changes in our lives. I am sad to leave Pennsylvania, but I am looking forward to my new life in Tennessee. Memi will adjust in time as long as she has her mommie and her sleeping bag in her chair. 

As I pack though, I get tired easy, sooo......
I have tried to work on some projects. I haven't made much headway as my table keeps getting buried and buried again. I am hoping that this weekend I can devote to working on my projects, and not so much packing. I have been acting like I was leaving the last of May.

I am Still Working

Some days I don't want to move. Even though I know I have to. I recently had a seizure that pushed me backwards, but I am doing much better. My mind is going in so many directions, and there are so many ideas simmering in my brain I wonder if I have time to complete them all. Surprise! If I do a little bit each day sometimes I accomplish a whole project in a few hours before I start hurting. Life is not always kind, but you can make it happy if you want to.

I have recently been working on my art dolls. I have also been going with my neighbor to a ceramic shop because she also needs to get out and have a hobby. So more paint. More fun. Go to Love It!

These are my pieces. No not a new hobby I just like painting. There is no way I will ever give up fabric.

Have a beautiful day full of love and peace

Joined New Online Groups

I joined a couple of groups on yahoo. I hope to learn more from them, and learn more about the process of my art. I know I have the raw talent but it is getting it out and and expressing it.

I need to quit being afraid of what people may or may not think. I just need to do and enjoy creative art forms. As I have always loved sewing and designing, it was just natural for me to finally start creating fabric art. Art dolls with art costumes, fabric artist trading card, inchies, art quilts, etc. For me and to me art is in the eye of the beholder. What I like someone else may not. This is okay. Art is to be enjoyed not be afraid of. If I continue to be afraid of the beautiful things I see in my minds eye, no one else will ever get a chance to decide if they like them or not. I guess that made up my mind.


                  Current Projects

Summer Pin Swap 
Amulet Bag    half way there
Roses for Momma
The No Name Piece
Art Doll (Being pieced by hand)
Finish Challenge Piece
Rope Coasters
Cell Phone Case and Make Up Bag added a Eye Glass Case  done
Plus Size Inches  done

These are in no particular order as I am working on ALL of then at one time. That way if I get bored with one piece I can always go to the next. I enjoy coming up with projects, I just need to finish them. That whole time management thing.

Wishing Everyone A Beautiful Day
