Art From Near and Far , Fabric Art Postcards from all over the world

THIS IS MY COLLECTION OF FABRIC POSTCARDS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

. 
"Art from Near and Far"  it is a collection of fiber art Postcards, Journal pages, Atcs and Inchies from all over the world, that I have received in swaps that I participated in since 1999.There are amazing artists all over this world and when they work in a small size, their designs and quality of artistry is condensed to a piece of art that carries with it its weight in gold.

There are pieces that are thread painted landscapes,. hand dyed lace flowers, button fairy Atcs and more.  There are over 150 pieces displayed (there is a hundred more ,we ran out of room)  That will inspire anyone to be creative and think outside the box.

And the incredible thing is I have never met any of these artists in person, only talked to them through emails and yahoo posts.   Yet each and everyone put their all into their work and sent work I will be proud to share for years to come. Many are from Overseas, England, Spain, New Zealand, Denmark, and more....

Making the most of my Creative Energy?

I have found a wonderful place in my life where my creative energy is at a level I never expected.

And I am creating such whimsical Fabric Art Paintings , landscapes , florals, but my critters , my critters can only make you giggle. 

Each Painting is created one at a time using my sewing machine , bits of fabrics that are brightly colored , stitched using what I call frosting (Decorative Stitches) on my sewing machine.

I use the frosting to convey movement in my Fabric Art Paintings working with the designs in the fabrics.   Accentuating the waves in the water, making reflections of sunlight. moonlight and stars.

Stitching Birds across the sky.... air blowing across...the style is endless.

The first landscape is finished at 16 x 20 inches gallery wrapped on a Artist canvas making it easy to install in your home.    I used "water" fabric to express the reflection of the stars .  The trees are created using over 20 plus pieces of fabric to give them depth. 

                            This one is my favorite I love the motion and depth it expresses   It's size is 5 inches by 7 inches
