my art group

Really easy- just cut out a base piece of any sort of fabric.Then cut out all sorts of fabric bits and place them on the base.When you have a design you like. glue on pieces and hand stitch after where you like.I used gold metallic thread. It's just a matter of whether you have some time Helen! I'm afraid I have a nasty virus at the moment which is hindering me in my CLO duties.I plan to see the local breast care nurse first. I'm waiting for my local paper to contact me this week - no hurry though as I would only cough and splutter which is not a good image! Take care,some nasties out there.

Hope you are well and out there spreading the word about BCNA!

Fantastic work darl!  I absolutely love it...I have always wanted to do that - it's one of the few crafts I haven't had a go at.  Was it hard to do?  How could I attempt something like this?

Luv H

Hi Tonya,

Very creative :-) If you need a hand with uploading images let me know. You should be able to down size the image if it uploads too big.

I alway struggle when trying to do something creative - I feel it has to be perfect before I am happy with my art - but i love the way you look at it "it is the processof being creative and not the end product"

i am going to get creative over the weekend with some card making and i will show you what I have done :-)

i hope to see what other people have been upto :-)

I managed to upload a photo of my art work but it took up the whole space and I couldn't write anything.So will put down some words in "comments" I go to an art group on Tuesdays for people who have had cancer. Jody is our art therapist and each week we do something different ie.not always painting. We sit there being creative and chatting away - it's great. I've learnt that it is the"process"of being creative and not the end product which is the therapy bit. Anyway,this photo is of my fabric artwork. I cut up fabric,glued and stitched and this was the end result.Hope to get some more work up here when I figure out how to reduce the size of the photo.
