I know it's only the end of July, but here in Portland that's when the light starts to change ever so slightly & Fall begins to show herself. And I start to think of Halloween. I don't know when it became such an enjoyable holiday for me, except that we've spent the last couple of them visiting family in Boulder and that's been such a treat [pun intended]. So here we go...
a twist on both the lovely brooch and a Halloween item... the flower is handmade from two rich purple Halloween fabrics, mounted on a semi-sheer purple cobweb fabric and finished with purple pearlescent beads. I wear mine as an accessory to my witch costume, and also just everyday to celebrate the season.

the result of my trip to the amazing Whole 9 Yards upholstery fabric store a few weeks ago. these fabrics bridge the gap between two walls painted different colors [grey/blue meets smoky corn yellow]. the fabric was simply stapled around the canvases, and I put one in an unglassed frame. perfect! and they achieved exactly what they were meant to.
just couldn't stand that my whiteboard magnets for class got my hands dirty and were hard to pull apart...oh who am I kidding? I couldn't stand that they weren't pretty so I had to fix that. for use in the esl class that I help teach.
