Back in the Studio!
Lately, I’ve been away from my studio much more than I’d like. Today, I finally had some time to get back in there. But, as is often the case when I’m away for too long, I found that my creative muscles were a little out of shape. I decided to sort, fold, and put away fabrics and wait for inspiration.
It didn’t take long, as I sorted through fabrics sent to me by my friend, Elaine. They were luscious, including silks, synthetics, and antique kimono fabrics! (Bottom right in this photo:)
That was it. I quickly forgot about putting away fabric and started a small collage with these interesting materials. I added one upholstery fabric as the background, but otherwise used only these gift fabrics. This is the result: Asian Influence.

Gee, that was great fun. It gave me a wonderful surge of creative adrenalin, and I’m ready for another!
Soon, Elaine will receive this little piece in the mail. I’m not sure of the best orientation, but I’ll let her decide.

I like how you just went with the flow & left the eyelet in the upholstry fabric Ellen.
Cheers, Sue
Sure! “Why not?” I say.
