Playing with fabric

 Jen was playing with strips of fabric one day...she allowed her Dad and I to help.

Fabric is put on two sided adhesive paper and ironed to adhere it.  Then they are cut into strips...the other side of the backing is removed and it is put in place on special paper...when it is all done it is put on a canvas.  I worked the blues on the right side while Far Guy stripped backing off of strips until his thumbs locked up. (I know from experience that this is painful...but we still had to laugh a bit)

I was only the consultant on the next piece. 
Both pieces have gone to the shop in Grand Forks.  

I can play with fabric as long as no sewing is involved!

    I get the locking up of fingers too. Funny but not funny.

  4. Those are so unique and beautiful. The flower makes me think of echinacea.

  10. These are both beautiful. I'm guessing that neither will last long in the shop. How fun to be able to do it together. Poor Far Guy. I can just imagine both of you laughing at the poor man.
    Blessings,
