A Little Mixed Media

Below is a short video showing how I made the melted felt cups I used in my Unmasking the Soul piece. The video is the first in a series of simple steps to make this small mixed media decorative fabric envelope (gift tag, ornament, or ?).

Here are a couple more pieces where I have used these melted felt cups but flipped over.

I started sewing and designing using fabric, thread, and paper when I was a child. I taught myself to make quilts, at first not following the "rules," then watched some experts, learned the rules, and made many hand quilted and appliqued quilts. I spent years focusing on miniature landscape quilts. Now I am a fiber and mixed media artist and that encompasses everything I have a passion for. I have taught, lectured, and my work have show nationally and internationally, some pieces have been published.

  1. OK, french knots are way better than beads. I like the cheesecloth leaves in your sampler. Are you talking about the cheap craft felt sold at Joann’s?

  2. Yes, Joann Fabrics is where I purchased this felt. Bead add such nice sparkle but I don’t have to chase French knots around the room like I do beads… may be time to look into sparkly floss!
