I either use it or get rid of it. I think I would rather use it and create interesting pieces of art and share it here.Nancy Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04812204372538512778noreply@blogger.comBlogger148125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954501298739044040.post-24433853207358078652013-08-02T13:56:00.002-07:002013-08-02T14:01:49.545-07:00The American Flag Sewn Style

I am sure I will make a pinwheel sometime in the future.<br />
<br />
This took me back to the days when I used to go to the Albuquerque International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. I went there for many years and loved every minute of it.<br />
<br />
This is a very large piece and I worked on it for two days. It is very bright and cheerful and I remember all those balloons that are pictured on that piece. It was sewn together and then cut up in pieces and then stitched up again. I used my decorated papers and some of Teesha Moore's collage sheets (which I absolutely love). Then I sewed on the balloon pictures which was a trick in itself considering the size of this piece. Hurray, it is done and I must say that I love looking at it. <br />

<br />
Some time ago, a good friend of mine, Sherry Goodloe, picked up a lot of Teesha Moore's collage sheets for me when she went to the Carson Rubber Stamp Convention in Carson, CA. I love Teesha's work and was so excited when I received them. Did I use them.........no........but knew I would because they were so beautiful. I decided to cut a couple up and combine them with my own painted/inked/decorated papers. This is what I ended up with.<br />
<br />

At this point, I don't have any idea what I will use these for but all I can think of when I look at them are "placemats"........not practical since they are paper but that is what comes to my mind when I look at them. I am pleased at how they came out and will just continue to look at them and enjoy them.</div>

When I do my papers, I always do the fronts and backs.........it has come in handy in this class a lot . It has given me a lot of choices when one is cutting up the paper in different shapes and piecing them together...... It gives you a lot of choices of color and design.</div>

Well, Craft Monkeys that's it for today. Need to go and play in the paint, ink and paper. I am playing with some Neon colors which is really unusual for me. </div>

I am having a hard time keeping up but getting a few things done and have a lot more to do. Life just keeps getting in the way.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pieces that I made using most of my pattern papers and some other papers I have around.<br />
<br />
Both of these are backed with Vellum and really shine when put in a window. Haven't decided what I will use them for but like looking at them.<br />

Just playing around and ended up with this. Looks something like the book cover in a previous post. Again, used my painted pattern papers.</div>

This looks like the beginning of a kite. It is backed with Vellum paper and boy does it shine when put up to a window. This picture doesn't show it but the top one is actually bigger than the second one. </div>

<br />
For years, I have loved making a mess (and I mean a mess) with acrylic paints and spray inks mainly....on all kinds of paper. With this class, I have broadened my horizons with watercolors and acrylic inks and making patterns on them. <br />
<br />
The first three don't have any patterns/designs on them but I love them a lot..... I call them Color Designs. They are done in layers of spray inks mostly. Do one layer, let dry (which is fast as we are in the desert), next color.....you get the point.<br />
<br />

I was in Oregon taking care of my Mom who has now passed away.<br />
<br />
I had gone upstairs for something and when I came down, I could hear her trying to get my attention as she was unable to talk after having a bad stroke. When I walked into the living room she was waving her arms and pointing at the television trying to tell me that something awful was happening on tv. When I looked over at the tv, I saw one of the towers coming down.<br />
<br />
We sat there all day shocked like everyone else as to what unfolded on that horrible day where so many lives were lost, so many lives were changed from losing loved ones and life, like we once knew it, had changed from that moment on.<br />
<br />
I hope we all have a few minutes to say a good thought or prayer today.Nancy Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04812204372538512778noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954501298739044040.post-48989895934680251352011-09-04T10:21:00.000-07:002011-09-04T10:21:03.930-07:00Come On Baby Let's Do the Twist....Round and Round We Go......Had a fun night out at the 50's Diner.........a car show.......an old fashioned root beer shake.........lots of great music and fun with friends.

I took a class with Tim Holtz at least two years ago altering this wooden bird with gears on it. I not only love the whole piece but I fell in love with the gears on top of the bird but never was able to find any that large until last week. Well I take it back....I did find some on the internet but they wanted an arm and a leg for them and I just told myself to wait. Tim had a huge collection of gears for us to choose from which was a lot of fun and I just kept it in the back of my mind hoping that someday I would find some for myself. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1BP_5IMngSo/TlKeh4kyA9I/AAAAAAAAA9g/jHBkUNfgXSg/s1600/Nancy+Bird+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" qaa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1BP_5IMngSo/TlKeh4kyA9I/AAAAAAAAA9g/jHBkUNfgXSg/s400/Nancy+Bird+004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
Then the other day when I walked into a thrift store, I saw these clock pieces. I wished I knew exactly what kind of clock they were from but I don't have a clue. If you know, please leave a comment for me. When I picked up one, all I could see inside were gears of all sizes. My heart did a little pitter patter sound and I took a deep breath and then I said "thank you". <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tWP0nAKHkVU/TlKgIZNgeLI/AAAAAAAAA9k/x4oAiQVoub4/s1600/Gears+and+More+Gears+014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" qaa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tWP0nAKHkVU/TlKgIZNgeLI/AAAAAAAAA9k/x4oAiQVoub4/s400/Gears+and+More+Gears+014.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It went from what is on the left side to the pile of gears on the right. In some of the clock pieces, some of the gears were as large as three inches across and went down to a small size. I was surprised at how relatively easy it was to take these clock pieces apart. I did have to ask for assistance at the very end when he had to cut a couple of the gears off but for the most part, it was all a matter of unscrewing some little nuts and washers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Yesterday, as I was sewing up some other items, I decided to make an appropriate bag for the antique photo album journal. I cut up one of my vintage table runners and thought it went so well with the journal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Jlf1sFefug/Tkr6eUEX-aI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/xwxh_hK_EW0/s1600/Book+Bag+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" naa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Jlf1sFefug/Tkr6eUEX-aI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/xwxh_hK_EW0/s320/Book+Bag+016.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />

It was actually pretty easy to do and I liked how it came out. <br />
<br />
I worked on other items all day yesterday but will show at a later time so as to not spoil some surprises for a swap I am in.<br />
<br />
Have a great evening everyone and thanks for stopping by.

This one is all leather covers which were really in good shape considering that the spine wasn't. The spine binding was all torn so this was a good album to use for the open spine binding method. I cut the photo frames which were all intact and used them for the journal I just posted about yesterday. <br />
<br />
In this journal, I used watercolor papers, vintage ledger papers, vintage music sheets, vintage wallpaper, some heavy Tim Holtz paper packs of heavy cardstock and vintage papers with vintage fabrics on them. I also made pockets out of vintage wallpaper and vintage papers to add to the pages so I can store items. And one last important thing is that all this inspiration of these books is from Mary Ann's classes <a href="http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/">Remains of the Day and Full Tilt Boogie.</a><br />

I am using the covers of this book for another project which I am almost done with. I just got sidetracked making this journal. This is one of the many style of books we are learning to make in Mary Ann's class called<a href="http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/"> Full Tilt Boogie.</a> This is really a great online class. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the front cover but not the best picture in the world. I used a page of a Sears Catalog and attached it to a manila folder to make it more sturdy. Then I added a layer of lace on top of that. And then on the inside I added another page of a Sears Catalog. I did the same for the back of the book. <br />
<br />
For the spine binding on the book I used a strip of black leather and sewed a piece of lace on top of it. <br />
<br />
For decoration, I added some fancy buttons to the spine leather piece and also added some mannequin form die cuts to the front of the book. The ribbon is tied around the mannequin form before I glued them to the front of the book. <br />

I can't wait to have more time to work in this as this is going to be so much fun to collage, rubber stamp, paint, stencil, etc. each page. </div>Nancy Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04812204372538512778noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954501298739044040.post-20014279318383884652011-08-03T10:03:00.001-07:002011-08-03T10:07:25.493-07:00Fabric and MoreFor some reason, fabric is slowly coming back into my life........who knew that I would use a sewing machine again. It actually started a couple years ago when I took an online class with Mary Ann called Remains of the Day. It was a fabric journal........I loved it as it combined my love of paper and fabric. I made several of the journals and will always love the concept of this class sewing all kinds of things together. I know I have said this before but it truly is one of the best on line classes I have taken and our yahoo group continues to flourish. I learned to sew when I was in grade school/high school. I can still remember that reversible pleated wool skirt that I made........a lined yellow suit and a fancy brocade dress among many other things. Then I got back into sewing many years later when I would take a week off work and sew up a bunch of outfits on my old Kenmore sewing machine. Then I got away from it for many years until a couple years ago. Who knew that I would be looking at and loving fabric again.<br />
<br />
Last week I went to this thrift store that I don't go to a lot just because of its location.......so glad I did because I found some neat things and one of them was this beautiful piece of fabric...........which was so outside my vintage followings but I loved it. It was marked that it was a 70's piece of fabric.......I don't know if it is.......I was just drawn to it so I got it.......... Maybe the reason I liked it so much because it reminds me of Hawaii.........<br />

<br />
Then I picked up a a couple old Look and Life magazines from the 50's and 60's to use for collage and some other things which I will mention later on. I also got some old Bingo slider cards which are quite heavy.........the first thing I saw when I looked at them were that they would make great covers for a book with an open spine binding that I learned in Mary Ann's new class, <a href="http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/">Full Tilt Boogie</a>.....they will be a lot of fun to work with.<br />

I know there is a lot of paper tape out there but it just never seems to be in the style I want. I wanted some done in some original ledger paper so I made it today. All I did was cut strips and ran it through the little Xyron "X" machine that is 1.5 inches wide. I also made some with some license plate cardstock and then tried it with Vintage wallpaper. They all turned out great. I just took the film off and left it on its backing and rolled it onto the Vintage wooden spool. I like how it turned out. Might have to do some different designs on another spool. <br />
<br />
This is how it looked with the thread on them.........<br />

I actually haven't done as much of this as I usually do but thought I would just share a few items that I have picked up recently. For the spare time that I have, I have been spending it working on my Full Tilt Boogie classes and making books as they are so much fun to do. Here are some of the items.........<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aeiRKklqmoQ/TiyqiA9PQ-I/AAAAAAAAA60/NTwEgb_2PHo/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aeiRKklqmoQ/TiyqiA9PQ-I/AAAAAAAAA60/NTwEgb_2PHo/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+002.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have never seen a Sudoku game like this in a wooden box with drawers for both the little number wood tiles and the large wood number tiles. I love it.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzomyrMOg4E/Tiyqo5_WwDI/AAAAAAAAA64/r4-ZdOJyhk4/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qzomyrMOg4E/Tiyqo5_WwDI/AAAAAAAAA64/r4-ZdOJyhk4/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+006.JPG" t$="true" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Quite a collection of paper items that I will use on my Remains of the Day pages. I love this old wide ruled paper probably very old and used in school to learn writing. I love it. The Sukoku calendar is brand new too and lots of room to write on and will be used on pages for journals. The brayer was brand new....can always use them. The Watercolor Sketchbook Kit was quite a find and still wrapped up like new and looking at the paints, the kit appears relatively new. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yDodPxM0i_Y/TiyqwJD-PhI/AAAAAAAAA68/4y5WCHNiCJA/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yDodPxM0i_Y/TiyqwJD-PhI/AAAAAAAAA68/4y5WCHNiCJA/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+008.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All of these items will be used for Remains of Day and Full Tilt Boogie journal pages. They are all big tablets and the box of postcard labels is brand new and full. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Skg5vp_uSFA/Tiyq4VmfNqI/AAAAAAAAA7A/2OHCTebK4ME/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Skg5vp_uSFA/Tiyq4VmfNqI/AAAAAAAAA7A/2OHCTebK4ME/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+011.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Who doesn't like to find vintage patterns, big spools of good thread and a jar of buttons. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uQg1qywkBu0/TiyrBBMwh2I/AAAAAAAAA7E/t_jCUGsErnc/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uQg1qywkBu0/TiyrBBMwh2I/AAAAAAAAA7E/t_jCUGsErnc/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+016.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The one cigar box is vintage and the other is relatively new but was different inside so I picked it up. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTU7IRdop90/TiyrI45ukJI/AAAAAAAAA7I/xrrsHZW6E1Y/s1600/Thrift+Store+Finds+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTU7IRdop90/TiyrI45ukJI/AAAAAAAAA7I/xrrsHZW6E1Y/s400/Thrift+Store+Finds+019.JPG" t$="true" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are those same two cigar boxes filled with stuff that can be used in altered art. Notice the dividers in the second cigar box....kind of different.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She is not only a very nice person but a very talented one (click on her name to see her artwork).<br />
<br />
She sent me these three beautifully decorated envelopes filled with art goodies. Am I lucky or what. I feel so blessed to be a part of this wonderful group of artists and friends.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the left side are pieces of beautiful oil cloth and a bag of gorgeous fibers. In the center are a lot of pages from an old Montgomery Ward catalog and sitting on top of them are an optical lense, metal frame and a ton of charms. On the right side is a ton of Mexican ephemera and other items....just wonderful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This time I cut up a Sudoku game board and used it for the covers. I am pleased with how it came out although it is not perfect but good enough for me. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It measures about 7" square and is just perfect for a little book to journal/collage/write in. For the binding tapes, I used black leather pieces and then sewed Cavallini paper tape on top of it. Then I added some Sudoku wood numbers on the edge for decoration because they are a part of the game. For a closure I just used a girl's elastic hairband which was the perfect size to hold it all together. There are seven signatures in it mainly comprised of watercolor, cardstock music sheets and ledger papers. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
