"Art"

art 1 |ärt| noun 1 the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power :

Layers and textures intrigue me.

The idea of creating a cocoon to encase my art is just as important to me as the art its self.

I often use wax paper to create pockets to house my work as its reflective ghost like quality adds a depth and intrigue.

The transparent layer allows your eyes to image that what lay beneath...

Once opened you will discover layers of fabrics and papers connected with a sewing machine, threads are deliberately left and tied together. Stamps and ink are used to add extra texture and help to anchor the various layers that were combined.

(TIP: if you use a sewing machine to sew on papers you will need to use a 4 or 5 stitch setting to keep your paper from perforating.)

In march of 2007 I shared how I made fabric ATC's (art cards)
for the most part my process is still the same, I hope you will take a look and try your hand at creating your own small art.
