Seamrippstress Breakdown = 200 mgs of Silk Fusion Prescribed

And here we have a representation of the beautiful liquid essence of a woman's once colorful spirit dripping from her soul to the dirty garage floor. Good thing paper towels (dyed rubbish that she hordes like a crazy loon) are being splattered with her misfortune so that they may qualify for her job when she gets whacked. It's been a rough month. The thing is, I'm one of those welcomed folks who call you out of the blue to sell you advertising. And when I really get on your nerves, well that would be toward the end of the month and this one has ended short, very short of my goal.

I wonder how all of you x-corporate cogs turned your fabric fetishes into careers? Was it Etsy or teaching or are you just so talented that you knew you could make a go of it. Because I'm about to go to "It's a Stitch" and ask them if I can sell sewing machines! My DH wouldn't care for the pay but wouldn't I be a happy little retail girl!

Here is my map of Houston sales targets, maybe this will explain my numbers this month. Look at the pretty WIPs! Wouldn't it be nice if they were finished or made into something useful? Or even better, if they could generate revenue!

Thanks sincerely for coming to visit and inspiring me with your comments and prayers of joy, hope and divine peace : )

Silk Fusion Envelope

A little silk envelope for keeping....well... Notions maybe? Innocent enough. (Click on top pic to see my embossed script stamp extravaganza)
...Hmmmm...Secret love notes? Not that I know a thing about anything like that. Fabric cash stash you don't want your DH to find? Don't be ridiculous we don't need no stinkin cash stash. What-nots might you consider keeping in here?

This is our first project from SueB's Silk Fusion. I stamped the silk fusion piece with embossing powders and turned the heat gun on. Then, I didn't like the off-white cloth buttons I chose so I embossed them with metallic powder too. Next, we'll make a bag and I will start on a http://suebleiweiss.typepad.com/padfolio/

Silk Fusion!

Guess what... I'm taking another class! Sue Bleiweiss Silk Fusion from Joggles and it is really really cool! Just go see her blog. It's helped get me off the embellisher binge if for a fleeting moment. The process is similar to nuno-felting except textile medium is used to stick it all together instead of beating and rolling it 1000 times as needed for nuno-felting. The picture really doesn't do it justice but just wait until you see what I can make out of it!
