I am taking a monthly class named "Research and Creation" and our teacher challenged us to make something with this ....

We are allowed to add anything to this selection and I have a "Buddha" paper napkin I am thinking about  using...

I prepared the piece of wall paper, tearing the edges...

After cutting out my paper napkin, I used some Modge Podge to stick the different layers  

  

I then had to use the ribbons... I liked the idea of using the white one but the two purple didn't inspire me at all! Anyway, I wanted this exercise to look like a shrine (in some way...)

                                                                This is the final project 

Blog revival...

It's been more than 3 years since I last posted anything here.

Life changing 3 long years... Some good things happened, but some others are still weighing on me, the most difficult one is being apart from my children, my friends and my country. But life goes on and I can't complain, I have a nice old house that needs a lot of fixing but my sewing room is great (thanks to my hubby!) and it's a pleasure to come in here every day and work on some projects.
I call it the "Quilting Diva studio"...

In December, I had fun participating to a local Christmas market and it was quite a success, I made lots of useful little things (jewelry bags, luggage tags, mini wall hanging, cards, etc...) and some more artistic things like the "Fairy" shoes, bowls and fabric leaves.

I was also commissioned to make 3 "Fairy" shoes for a friend.
I really enjoyed making them and it's always fun to come up with new ideas of embellishments!

I also just finished a special order to make a "Drums box", birthday present from a mom to her son who  is into African drums
