Something there is that doesn't love a wall...



Finally, I'm back at the frame and tackling the challenge of finishing the wall.

Our German student has gone and we are returning to some sense of normalcy after packing in as many American experiences as was possible in 10 days.

As for the wall, the printed organza blocks seems to have worked in bringing the wall forward a bit.



And the adhesive used to fuse the organza to the paper that goes through the printer was just enough to prevent the organza from fraying as I cut them into blocks.

Next up is Mrs. Rose.  I have a lot of figuring to do for her since I haven't yet decided how to create her.

Until next time, have a great day.

  5. The blocks are fantastic. I had to go back to see the wall before you added this technique. I'm always amazed at your knowledge of stitching and fabric manipulation...there seems to be no task too big or tedious in order to bring your vision to life.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Mrs. Rose.

  7. Your little concrete blocks are gorgeous and with your stitching they really do look like the wall. Creative Hearts are Happy Hearts...

    It's really coming along! I really like what you've done with the mirror. Can't wait to see the next reveal....8-)

    I am so in awe of your work. I want to be you when I grow up (and I want Jack to be MY kid, too)

  10. Perhaps your enforced period of tourism has refreshed you and reinvigorated you - I'm sure ideas for Mrs Rose were bubbling away in the back of your mind all the time!

  14. Once again you are so creative. Your wall looks so real.
    Glad you had a nice time with the exchange student. We had a German student once too.

It's always a happy day when I see that you've stopped by and left a note. Thanks for taking the time to send me your beautiful thoughts. I try to comment back when life isn't too hectic and when Blogger has your email.

Have a wonder-filled life!
