Fall Purse


During show -n-tell on Chocolate Night....Rhona shared this purse....I believe she used imitation leather...I have forgotten what she called it...she embroidery the leaves design on the removable flap...inside and side pockets make this a purse with a place for everything...The Ol' Blogger

Leaves

This was my "witches outfit" for Chocolate Night. I made the individual pieces of the "vest" using the gelatin plate printing technique explained in Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine. For the fabric base I used several of my black discharged fabrics, my collection of Stewart Gill paints and some of the Sulky thread we won in the Hoffman Challenge to embellish each piece. It was a fun project, but very time consuming....




Forkin Family Grows


The "Forkin Family" grew on Chocolate Night....These Forkin Boxes were created by "The Elder" for each one of us....She flattened the forks attached them for legs, feet, arms and hands...painting the tips as polished nails...using a spoon for the neck and head...she placed each picture of us in the dip, placing a scalloped piece behind for hair...Inside the boxes are the red dress charms for keeping hearts healthy...We all are blessed to have this wonderful lady in our lives....
