I made this wall hanging plaque for a friend that had a recent loss in her family.
I finally found the background in pink that I was looking for, she's a pink girl. I mounted it on heavy chipboard, added a couple of my favorite eyelets and just embellished. I'm so happy that she loved it and put it in her beautiful scraproom.
This canvas bag I made for a very dear and sweet friend. I had so much creative fun making these. I purchased the canvas bags, so all I had to do was take out my bridal appliques and hand tea dyed vintage laces and trims. My favorite was making the flowers, I just love how they turned out. Everything is either hand or machine sewn, nothing glued here.
This one I made for a very special and talented friend that has just about everything you could think of, as far as crafting. This canvas is primarily in white, she's a white girl. The images I printed on a separate piece of canvas that I was able to put through my printer. The edges are frayed and unfinished, I really like that look. Haven't given it to her yet, I sure hope she likes it.
Marlene- What a lucky friend you have. That is a beautiful piece you created. Your tote is fantastic, too. xo Diana
