Poisoned Apple - WIP

It's no surprise that my girls are huge Disney nuts.. Considering how much my Mum and I love the movies and the park, it was their destiny to be little princesses. And as much as I love Disney, sometimes when Tangled or Snow White seems to play endlessly in our home.. I tend to well, think darker thoughts..

I've wanted to do a poisoned apple clutch for awhile now and finally had some time this weekend to play. There are so many types of pigment on this Kona white cotton. I used my Inktense pencils, silk dye, dye-na-flow, lumiere paint, and good 'ol fabric paint. This picture is before I went free motion crazy on it.

I just couldn't bear to cut it up into a single purse. I wanted to keep it for myself, a number of friends have love for it and I wanted to offer it in the shop. What to do?

I decided to take a number of high resolution pictures of the fabric and I'm going to reprint them at Spoonflower. I have NO idea how I will like the end result..but experimenting can be fun.

As for the original? I've also been wanting to mix fabric art with encaustic techniques.. So that is what I will be working on tonight..

Lucky Pants

Last year I made my husband a shirt for St. Patrick's day and he still wears it all the time. Since he still loves his shirt, I thought this year I would make something for myself!

It's not every day I post pictures of my undies.. Well these are brand new and meant to inspire you to make some St. Patrick's Day projects, so hopefully I don't offend too many! I think it's fun to have some lucky undies... 

You can download a mirror image of the jpeg of my design here. I made it the same way as I made my husband's shirt, you can read the original post here.

Are you making anything fun this year for St. Patrick's Day? Let me know!
