Fragile, faded and feathers

Am just loving this lining exposed by pulling a dirty old cushion cover to pieces. Other people's rags but my treasure.

Garden Birds/2

Lots of you have said where are the garden birds on Etsy?  They sold out in five minutes so the images disappear from the shop. I have just restocked with another two and have more in the pipeline.

Am hoping you will be able to follow this link to a little piece about me, and a summer school I am running, on the Selvedge blog. It is well worth subscribing to if you don't already.

This newish collage was built up round the lovely embroidered initials. The piece of chintz was given to me by an artist whose work I really admire - Jan Miller. Unfortunately she keeps a low profile and does not have a web site but some of you might know of her quiet, understated collage work.

My sketchbook is full so I am turning back to my fabrics this week. Hope my dabblings have inspired you to pick up your paints and collage ingredients!
