Thank you so very much for the invite to blog with you! I thought I would share my If Wishes Wore Wings trunk show, showing a couple pictures of projects each time I post. I had the fabulous opportunity to work with digitizers from Cactus Punch and turn my doodles and sketches into real live stitches meant for embroidery machine and hoops of all makes and models in the United States, Canada & Australia (oooo, aren't you impressed now??) Now don't tune out 'cuz I said embroidery machine...remember all of these were created originally on a basic sewing machine "thread painting" or in the old days, they called it the darning stitch... Hours of thread painting by machine, playing with colored pencils and doodling (stuffing drawing pads and markers feverishly into every available pocket in my suitcases when I traveled-driving my husband absolutely nuts) has transformed into a project designed to create and pass on to girlfriends, moms, daughters, sisters and hopefully to women whom we have not yet met. These projects were designed to stitch, embellish and then pass on...with surfaces filled with words of inspiration... Florence, this ARtAngel was designed and dedicated to my mom who lived young and large with the attitude 'when I get old, I shall wear purple"...only sometimes there's a bigger plan. I say, don't wait to get old to wear purple! I hope you enjoy my future posts here and pictures to get you thinking hopefully, a bit outside your box!
