She makes wonderful works of art, usually using surprising elements (sometimes fabric). Ina also invites subscribers and visitors to participate in her 4… Continue reading Altered Book Landscape

Potato Patato and the Winner
Do you say poyn·seh·tee·uh or poin-sed-uh? Apparently either way is okay, depending on who you ask! It would be an understatement to say I love flowers and have used them a few times in my artwork. Winter always makes me think of the poinsettia plant and so it’s probably no surprise that once again, I’ve… Continue reading Potato Patato and the Winner
Always Ideas
I’m getting ready to teach a class on Sunday, these are strange times to be teaching live, but I really am looking forward to it. As promised I have a new video. It seems the more I play with ways to get paint onto fabric the more ideas I get, and for me ideas lead… Continue reading Always Ideas
Falling into October
For the past few days the temperatures here have been around 90°F, we don’t have AC but my studio stays cool. Today looks to be finally cooling off a bit. The coming of fall had me working on another Stir Crazy Member Challenge for Visions Art Museum, which will be published for members the first… Continue reading Falling into October
More Experimenting and Winners
I have been working on background fabrics. While I was making Crackle Vessel I ran into a disaster with the background fabric. I ended up loving that background but the way I made it was the problem, it involved (homemade) texture paste and removing it was a huge mess. So for now, no more texture… Continue reading More Experimenting and Winners

Painted Fabric – Cardboard Resist

Read on to find out more and for the How-to video see below. For this next piece I left some of the backside tip fabric unpainted (no… Continue reading Painted Fabric – Cardboard Resist
Crackle – Crinkle Technique
I mentioned in my previous post that I have been working on new painted fabric techniques. I’m sharing a one here, though for me it’s not new because I accidentally made a piece of this fabric a long time ago. Below is a short video that demonstrates just how easy it is. A couple things… Continue reading Crackle – Crinkle Technique
Beyond Snapshots
I remember telling my son I wanted to use his photographs in my art quilts but I didn’t mean printed on fabric; I meant the actually photograph. I know I’m not alone in wanting to use photographs in combination with fabric and fibers. In today’s post I share a few from other artists and I… Continue reading Beyond Snapshots
