Done with costumes, and back to art! Last year, at the very end, I posted the
last piece I made before the year was over. Today I want to tell you about the two pieces I am making that could be considered companion pieces to that one. All three could actually be companion pieces to
these that I made a couple of years back. As you can see street signs still intrigue me...
Looks like these pieces are all about circles! Not really, but I am using layers and layers of cut up Target shopping bags, which I free-motion machine stitched in a circular pattern. Then I painted them with acrylic paint and now I am in the process of hand stitching the signs.

this one is in the embroidery hoop right now. I think I'll call it "one way or another" |

Love how you incorporate "trash" in your pieces, Natalya!

This looks amazing, especially when you can use the logo from the shopping bag. Very effective.
I like your new colorful home page!
