I've been needing/looking for a cool, wide belt, but nothing's been jumping out at me and I'm resolved to make my own using fabrics from my stash. I have a great flame orange that I think will be my core fabric. Gonna use this pattern (tho not the leather Grandmother's Flower Garden patchwork.)

The princess
The princess just had her first taste of wine, the champagne's too dry, but the bubbles are fine!

Pulp fiction
I bought these with the intention of making postcards; upon reflection, however, I'm not positive I want to give them up... (becoming attached is always the risk, isn't it?!)
Things I gave my mom: mother's day ATC
I think I just like making tiny things... sort of like closed room mysteries, maybe? Within the constraints of the form, the mind is free?
Things I gave my mom: creepy doll painting
It's no wonder I was not my figure drawing professors favorite student... I think this may have happened after about 2 months of the BORINGEST NAKED MODEL EVER. 1996-ish.
Things I gave my mom: nine patch quilt
hand pieced and quilted; I think this may be my very first quilt project. 2002?
Things I gave my mom: Mini quilt
Free hand piecing and quilting; I have always loved keeping (or finding) scraps and using them in my projects - the mini-quilts combine that with quick-to-finish extra goodness. Also, I need to hoard my Kaffee Fassett fabrics!

Vintage craft book challenge, project 1
I decided that I would justify my obsession with vintage craft books by making at least one project from each. This one is also my first attempt at real crewel embroidery. I dislike coral stitch... I probably just need practice.

Luchador
Luchador, originally uploaded by luluincognito.
Another older piece, part of my playing catch up project. Not a very good photo... Even though I say this is "done" there is still something... something about this that needs... something. It drives me crazy on a regular basis

A dream; Act I
And (finally), the final piece... Still working on a better title. The rider portion previously posted refered to as "Fairy Tale Circus Rider" - descriptive, but still not cutting it.
Book, found doo dads (buttons! bones! TEETH!), velvet, plastic figures, glitter, moss, tin.

Woody
After two years of on-again-off-again stitching, finally completed - at least the stitching part... still sitting in the Palermo's house waiting the final decision: framed wall piece or pillow?
(Needlepoint; Appleton wool on Penelope canvas.)
