Joy

Share --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Linda Kunsman to thank for the inspiration in creating this digital turned to cloth collage. She asked for something with "happy" colors and "joy".   I think it reflects 'cheery' so I've decided to put it in a frame  (similar to below) and hang it in my studio to remind me of those days where I occasionally feel like I need a boost!

Although it's difficult to see I added 3 layers of organza in the sky and one foot, beaded and embroiderered and finished with a blanket stitch with my baker's twine.  I love this twine!

I used it to trim some of my presents for Christmas and just ordered  more.  You can purchase it at Pack and Post on Etsy by clicking the photo above or  here.

to tell Helga I sent you!







And last but not least, MORE  Joy!

I was so delighted to receive this for Christmas in December from Marsha from Tumble Fish Studio as a gift for being a member of her Creative Team.   Isn't it adorable?  Just a very thoughtful person, that Marsha!   She had these wonderful wooden 'house' mixed media charms custom made by Angela Woods of Junk Garden
