Fabric Art
Some of my collages are created with fabric. I make both wearable and non-wearable fabric art.
Tea Party Jacket
This jacket consists of layers of fabric with a tea party theme. Cups, saucers, tea pots, sweet treats, doilies, etc. overlap with heavy quilting. Pins made from tea bags and spoons are accents.

Egyptian Jacket back
This is the back of the jacket and shows more of the Egyptian themed fabrics. It takes about 25-30 fabrics to do a good design.

Egyptian Shoes
The left over Egyptian fabric was collaged to leather shoes. To be worn with the Egyptian jacket.

Symphony Jacket
This is a simple jacket which just uses rectangular shapes. The edges are left unhemmed so it will fray.

The Blue Flag in the Bog
I love this Edna St. Vincent Millay poem and wanted to illustrate it in fabric. The burning earth is at the bottom with the blue flag iris; the road to Heaven with the people walking upward, and the poem is printed on silk and sewn at the left side.
