This past week I did up four 8x8" textile collages.
Using lots of scraps of fabric, paper, embellishments, metal etc.

Those are simply wonderful!
Are they "found relatives" or honestly your relatives in the photos?

Just amazing Christy! Gorgeous fabric scraps. I am really drawn to the bottom right with the reds and black. It looks like you wove the fabric.

They came from a Tim Holtz deck of cards that I stumbled upon at Joann's. Called Found Relatives and continues 24 different vintage images relocating photos.

I did weave a dryer sheet that I painted. After it dried I cut it into strips, wove it then added as a design element.

I love these
You did a wonderful job

these are great - super use of a dryer sheet too! I certainly have a never ending supply of those!

Well...at first I want to say...showoff! But really need to say...simply wonderful. Your work always impresses me so very much. Thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork.

Those are all wonderful, Christy! I love the textures and colors.

Okay, that really blows me away that those gorgeous red "fabrics" are dryer sheets. Fantastic.

NICE!
I sould see them used as squares of
a very special quilt if heritage photos
were used

Amazing! Only a really true artist would think of using dryer sheets.

I am not one!
