Dream Art Quilt

Hello everyone! Here is a new portrait art quilt I created using an original painting. I always have so much fun stitching up something new. 

I painted her first on canvas, then attached it directly onto the fabric with embroidery. Full of sweet embellishments.

You can find her in my shop here. 

Happy Thursday to you! Thanks for visiting! :)

Happy October!

(Sold, thanks!)

Hello My Pretties! I can't believe it is already October. How did that happen? Here is a witch pin I created using an altered image. I gave her a light acrylic wash in green for her skin color, of course. Also, a little jingle bell dangles at the bottom. Below is the witch cottage pincushion I created a while back. Both of these creations are now in my shop! :)

Heart Ornies

Hello everyone! I've been busy stitching my heart out (pun intended) over here. 

I created these heart ornaments using fabric prints of my original paintings. 

Embellished with tulle, lace and sweet embroidery.  

I will be listing them in my shop tomorrow. 

Sunday, September 30th at 11:00 am PST. 

Hope you guys like them! :)

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

Hello everyone! I couldn't resist painting and stitching up these kindred cutie pins and ornies. They are so much fun to make.

These are previous work in progress photos I didn't get to share until now.

Hope you guys like them! 

You can find these pins and ornies in my shop!

Happy Sunday to you all! :)

Little Red Riding Hood & Wolf

Here are my newest hand stitched ornies. I love how they turned out. I always enjoy painting Little Red and her Wolfie. 

I like Little Red's expression too. 

She's like "Wait a minute...you almost fooled me."

Here's another one I painted a different way. I don't think I got a chance to share this one here yet.

These are now in my etsy shop.

I've been having fun painting and stitching away as usual. More stitched goodies to come soon. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hand Stitched Goodies

I've been painting and stitching away lately. Up first is a sweet original painting I stitched into an ornie. I love how she turned out.

Here are some pins I painted and stitched up as well. A panda (my favorite), a black kitty cat and a blue owl. I had super fun making these kindred cuties.

(All 3 Sold, Thanks!)

Here is the panda pin before she was packed and shipped away.

I also created some flower pins too. As you can see from the BEFORE and AFTER photos, their petals look quite different. I decided to change it up from canvas to felt instead. It happens every now and then. I liked them much better this way.

And last but not least is a portrait art quilt I created using a fabric print of my original painting.

She's still one of my favorite angel paintings! I just had to use her in this mini art quilt.

You can find these creations now in my etsy shop!

Thanks for stopping by to visit! 

More original paintings & hand stitched goodies coming soon!

Hugs,

Lisa :)

Creative Blessings,

Artistic Musings

Hello lovelies! January has come and gone and I was completely unaware of it. How did that happen? I hope everyone has been having a wonderful year so far. My imagination is surely adding to my creative to do list. I've been working on a few new paintings and I plan to share and list them for sale soon.

The ornie above is what I created for my 2010 Christmas tree. I always enjoy creating something new to add each year. Painted and created on canvas and secured with a nice blanket stitch. More ornies like these are in the works, too.

Below is something special I created for my dearest friend Paulette aka http://beedeebabee.blogspot.com/.

Created using a paper mache box that I painted and altered with a crackle finish. I like the primitive and grungy feel of it. 

In the box, I added a sweet mini album attached together with a binder ring and fiber trims.

Using some of my favorite paintings from 2010, I sized and altered the images and adhered them to chipboard that I layered with decorative paper. Adding sparklies and trinkets with my glue gun. Gotta love that glue gun!

Below is a slideshow of more images and close-ups for you to see. Enjoy!

And to complete the gift to Paulette, I also created another ornie for her. For this one I again used an altered painting using fabric, sequins, and tulle.

Completed with a blanket stitch as well and a beaded chain for a hanger.

Like I mentioned above, I've been painting new girlies lately and I plan to share them soon. Thanks so much for coming to visit!

Hugs,

Lisa :)

Remember

This is a mixed media art quilt I recently created.
It was made using an altered vintage image on fabric
that I distressed and frayed. I love the primitive
appearance the whole piece has. Size: 2.5" X 3.5"
If you are interested in more info and photos on this
piece, you can find it in my etsy shop here.

And speaking of etsy, one of my angel paintings was
included in a magical treasury today. Yay! You can
find the "I Want To Fly Away" collection here.
Thank you Onor!

I also won this sweet giveaway from the talented Patsy of http://patsypat.blogspot.com/. A beautiful paper

and fabric flower collage embellished with beads and

hand stitching. Lots of sweet texture too! Be sure to

visit her blog! She shares amazing creations and fun

tutorials. Thanks again Patsy! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Creative Blessings,

Love is Patient, Love is Kind.

Hello creative cuties! I took a little break with posting,
so I wanted to thank you sooooo much for all the birthday
love you sent my way last week. I really appreciate it! I
even received beautiful winged treasures that flew their
precious little hearts to me in the mail. I am so grateful
to have kindred friends like you. Thank you all truly from
the bottom of my heart! :)

Here is the completed WIP from my last post.

It's another mixed media original portrait art quilt painting.
Wow, that's a mouth full, huh? I think that's why I'll continue to
call this a Portrait Art Quilt instead.

I so enjoyed creating this sweet quiltie. She will be for
sale soon. I haven't listed on ebay for quite some time and
if all goes as planned, I will be listing her there tomorrow.

I hope you guys like it!
