My jumping off point was this square of muslin from a previous day when I was experimenting with paints and a stamp.
This easy stamp was made from an inexpensive school eraser. While the design is quite simple, it made an interesting design when repeated across the width of the fabric.
Looking through drawers and digging into my stash, I found these threads, beads and fabric that I could use.
Now I'm on my way, and ideas are starting to flow.
Scatter the dust on my sewing machine.
I added some machine quilting and now I can relax and add hand stitching and embellishment at quiet moments.

I love where you are going with this piece - just gorgeous. I too have a box of simple stamp erasers - I should get out. This is a great reminder that it doesn't take a big complex surface design piece to make a good composition! I would love it if you would link this up to our Off The Wall Friday which is open on my blog now.

Lovely colors you stamped with. What kind of paint did you use? Such a pretty calming piece!
ReplyDeleteI always love it when I get to the point of sitting and hand stitching. That is my favorite part of the process. Your stamp gave you such a nice design.
