A Clever Spark : A Clever Mind
http://acleverspark.blogspot.com/p/my-journal-pages.html
Just Around the Corner. Last week my daughter hung out and we had girls night, she worked on jewelry and I painted a bunch of picket fence pieces for the shop. All while watching multiple episodes of TV shows I had fallen behind on. This is not my desk by the way, I put a drop cloth down in the living room and created urban sprawl! A piece of my sketchbook page. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow A Clever Spark's board Clever Stuff on Pinterest. Quote of the week. Words of wisdom, humor,or inspiration.

http://acleverspark.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-love-linen.html
Just Around the Corner. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. My love of fabric and textiles is an ongoing affair that started when I was a child. So its no surprise that I have started printing linen again. I start with yardage that I have printed and dyed then I piece it together into napkins and cute sachets. Printed and dyed linen napkins, no two are alike! Fun Fish Sachets filled with French Lavender. These are made from the scraps of fabric left over from the napkins. Loving the violet and red!

OK, first I cut some scrap paddock fence boards into the shape of fish. A little shameless promo). Let the paint ...
