Simply Neutrals Tuesday No. 5 - New Journal with vintage image transfers

Whilst working with my new journal incorporating

some new stencils, some plaster, 

vintage transfer images, vintage laces, sari ribbon,

silk organza and some mica pigment powders

I thought some of the resulting pages could be included

in Wen's

 Simply Neutrals Tuesday 

So in keeping with the theme of neutrals I am sharing just some

of the pages here:

 

 The pages hold some beautiful images of a famous British photographer of the late 1800's, Julia Margaret Cameron.

 

You will notice also some recycled white

lace clothing on some pages here

such as this ribbon lace 

 

and part of a cotton lace, pin tucked and gathered lace blouse here.

 

 

 Understated roses on silk organza

 

and the same fabric incorporated into some silk chiffon

underlying some dyed scrim.  This page has been

felted onto bamboo cotton.

 

I love the pure simplicity of this rose over white cotton lace

 

 

with a touch of dusty pink unspun mohair!

Please go and visit Wen's blog (link above)

for some exquisite artwork and

photography.

 

This Journal will be for sale so if there is any interest

just email me at suziqu@tpg.com.au.

Enjoy dear friends,

Love, Suzy

Journal "Through Winter's Door" - New Work!

Most of my followers here know me through

my artworks with fabric and fibre mostly,

however,

as I adventure outside of my comfort zone

into the world of paints and brushes I have completed

a new journal.

 

 Using one of my favorite subjects "Stone Angels"

I have entitled it

"Through Winter's Door"

 

 

I have stenciled, inked, painted, patched, experimented 

dyed and sewn

 and when angels are close to your heart

the art comes easily!

 

 Some of this vintage fabric I have even painted

and stamped. Behind these fabrics you can

see my swirling mind expressed with paints

 

 I'm really a beginner in this area

but using my handmade brush

I've made a start!

 

With my awl I scribed text onto painted and 

gessoed pages and with free machine stitching

scribed "love and guidance".

 

 

It's all about letting yourself go

giving it a "go"!

 

 

I think that is the key to it all!

 

 Enjoy!
