Lavender sachet

I have been making new lavender sachets this week.

I have a box of beautiful antique lace that I bought in Canada several years ago.

Lace was so brown in color that I was not sure I could get it back to original white condition.

With a little hand washing all the lace washed out beautiful.

I was looking at my box of lace the other day and decided that I need to stop saving it for a raining day. Now that rainiy day is here and I decided to put on sachets.

A few pieces of lace I will use on a wall quilt at a later date.

You can see my sachets on my etsy site.

Collage art

One of my favorite things to make has always been collage work.
I started making collages when there was no word for them. Back in the dark ages.

My sixth grade teacher kept a lot of my collage work, even after she had retired.
She invited me to her house one day and was showing me the things that I had made. I ask her to give me the art work but she wanted to keep them.
I was hoping to get my work after she passed away but never knew what happen to them.

It is still one of my favorite art works to make. I am now adding paints and canvas to my works and starting to sell in gallery’s and shows.
