New Blog Header

I have been thinking lately that it is time

to change my blog header

and

give it a fresh new look

apart from a few more ideas

and so I came up with this fabric collage.

The image is one of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's -

"My Lady Greensleeves".

The collage has been built upon a foundation piece of vintage

upholstery fabric salvaged from some old rocking chairs

which fell apart gracefully at home

so

how lucky was I to be able to recycle this gorgeous piece

(also here is some of the hessian webbing containing the springs

of the chair).

The piece measures approx 12" x 20" and is hanging from a fashioned piece of

copper through eyelets.

I am considering selling this hanging so if anyone is interested in

the purchase of this

please email me at suziqu@tpg.com.au

I thought I might also share this Birthday Card which I have just finished

for a very dear friend of mine.  Our friendship spans 44 years.

The fabric I used here I have owned for at least 15 years or more and is really showing signs of being tattered and torn but the rose is oh so

gorgeous and I know my friend, Sue, will treasure it.

This card along with the gift which I am still working on

will accompany myself and Jeff

when we will be travelling

interstate for a week on Monday to Adelaide to visit my dear Dad who is not as well as

you and I at 91 years.

This little journal mentioned in my last post

has now been sold!

I hope that the weekend and the coming week will be filled

with lots of happiness and creative hours.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments regarding the passing

of ma Cherie.  We are feeling more positive about life without her

now.

Love, Suzy xxx
