This first one started out with bits of hand dyed silk and some used
Color Catcher Sheets.

| lots of embellishing |
It started developing into a little garden house of sorts...maybe a fairy house....so there needed to be some vines and flowers.

| crocheted vines and flowers |
Here it is so far, but it's not finished yet. It measures 8" x 7".
 |
| added windows and a door |
Then....my favorite....working with vintage lace and embroidery.
This one also measures about 8" x 6".
 |
| scraps of vintage lace and linens |
 |
| tiny prairie points in a lace pocket embellished with stitch |
 |
| an open window and a shisha mirror. |
There is another similar type piece I'm working on called 'cows in a magical forest'. I'll show you that one next time.
Wishing you all a creative week.
