Dream coats - Elf gowns from Fairytea

I have to say that stripy things have a special place in my heart. These gowns/coats are amazing. From the bright colors, to the well-matched shades of earthly browns - everything about them screams FUN!

Please make sure to visit the artist's shop on Etsy.

Fabric Jewelry

These darling creations are from Meg Hannan :
"Right out of the gate I reveled in making art. It soothed my soul and still does. Not to say I haven't found myself in a fight with it from time to time. For me, art is primal as breathing. It’s process of mystery and magic compels and anchors me and explains why I'm here. I cannot imagine my life without it."

Beautiful words about beautiful creations. Please visit the artist's site, as well as her Etsy shop!

Quilts and Tapestries - Tom Atkins

"The work here shows my journey into the relationship of beads and fabric.
It started when I was rear-ended on the freeway and couldn't do sculpture any more. I could, however, manage fabric and beads. Since I needed a new job, I began to explore the relationships between beaded and quilted surfaces and how they relate. I wanted to see beads as an integral part of the design, not just sitting on the surface. Beads and fabric complementing one another, neither one predominating, balanced. These quilts are the results of my explorations to find that balance."
- Tom Atkins

That's quite a story, and what amazing work! He mentions that his sister, Robin Atkins, has been his mentor and inspiration (I intend to feature her site on my blog as well). I am quite in love with beads and his work.
