paper quilt 'flower girl'


i found this vintage hat last weekend. i usually get such a great price from the dealers since lots of these old hats are squashed and faded. i take them apart and use the flowers, leaves, net, and silks in my art work. this hat inspired the color scheme for a paper quilt submission that i sent off today.


i dropped it off at the photo lab for a large format scan and really missed the piece in my studio.
this is the second submission i have sent off in a month! the waiting part is the hardest. . .

a photo of my wool felt palette. . .

  6. i have no idea why the pictures keep popping off and on. i think it is a server problem.
    hopefully tomorrow everything comes up ok.

    happy friday, Julie
