Chauvet Cave France Mixed Media Project

I belong to a local art group that meets once a month. We all take turns teaching a new technique or one that we just want to learn more about. These projects are what came out of a session in which the woman-who is very interested in archaeology taught. Crinoline was our base and we sketched in hieroglyphics, mostly based on the Chauvet Cave in France. Most of the people made wall hanging quilts although one person made a pillow. All projects contain the crinoline, just in different amounts.

 These 3 to the right were mostly made of paint,recycled items, cereal bag liners and chip liners.

 Heavy beading on the bottom.

Watercolors and stitching

The pillow with watercolors,stitching, markers and embroidery. One of the women made this with her 9 year old daughter.

All the yellow is embroidered and a fine netting covers the entire project.

Fabric to make the outline with heavy crewel work surrounding it.

Not a great picture...

Time Escapes

Time escapes you as you travel across the country and raise a family. I am trying to commit to new/old endeavors. I opened my Etsy store Burnt Toast Ranch  http://www.etsy.com/people/burnttoastranch?ref=si_pr  in 2008, then we moved and I never restarted.
 Well on the cusp of another move I am going again... I decided to keep with my favorites of vintage items and hand-dyed fabric. Wish me luck...
