Mucha print collage

I recently found these fabric panels with Gustav Mucha ladies on them. They are very small, only 2-4". I choose Lonni Rossi fabric in the same basic color family, backed the fabric with a stabilizer, and satin stitched around. I will embellish it this week and let you have a look when I'm further along.

Welcome one and all!!


Just got back from a sunny vacation in USVI where I was unable to blog due to this website being in Spanish. French, German or Italian I could have managed but not Spanish. So here I am with a mini tutorial for you.
The image you see here is from my Hubble Space Telescope Series. This has a black velvet background to which I added Angelina fibers, silk roving, and thread. The center shape is silk dupioni which has been heavily beaded.
If you live in the Philadelphia, PA area and would like a class on this, I'm happy to teach you or your group. Speaking of teaching, I have my beginning embroidery class starting Saturday, April 10 and 17 in Radnor, PA. Since these classes are getting full, I will offer afternoon and evening classes in April if Saturdays are a problem.
Remember to create something this week that brings you joy.
walk in beauty,
Julie

Thanks Lisa!!

In my very first blog posting about my new updated web site, let me take a moment to thank my BFF Lisa for all her hard work. I'm not the computer idiot I was a year ago but I still have a ways to go to catch up with normal folk.
