Fabric Collage Class


Mary Ingalls and I taught a "Fabric Collage" class at the Livingston Branch Library last week. We provided students with a background fabric, a TAPPED photo and quote, and fabric scraps. We showed samples and demonstrated the TAP product. Below are some of the "works in progress". TAP stands for Transfer Artitst Paper, a product from Lesley Riley.
Sharon arranges birds around "Evangeline" sitting under an oak tree in the forest. She uses a frame to control the size of her project.

Joan used a photo of two birds in a tree and created this image on a piece of my hand dyed fabric.





This piece uses a photo of my husband's amarylis garden. The quote is "Earth laughs in flowers."

Laura Varnida, one of the librarians, created this piece using a photo of a sailboat from a vintage music sheet.

I created this piece about two months ago for a dear friend.  Ms. Felecia West had been the head librarian at the Denham Springs/Walker Library since it opened.  She was a great friend of those who loved books and art.  Her fellow librarians asked me to create this piece as a gift from them.  She got to enjoy it before she passed.  She will be greatly missed.  I was very fortunate to have been her friend.  Special thanks to Edie Albe for machine quilting it so quickly.  She made it special.
