Album 1:For years I have wanted a special room to do my many hobbies and store my many more collections. Finally I felt it was my time to just do it! I did and love it! From the pink valance with little silver bows to the shelves and shelves of my dolls and the special area set aside just for my American Girl Doll collection, I love my room! The room was designed for me by the Murphy Bed Company, but instead of a bed coming out of the center cabinet a table comes down.
The room is over a year old now and we haven't lost our love for it. My hubby, Sandy liked how it came out, so well, that the computer room was recently finished. We hated living with boxes for months, but it was well worth it, going from carpet to tile to new built-in-cabinets!
Album 2: This album has my latest designing ideas for children and adults in painted/bleached and designed jeans and jackets. Getting back to painting on fabrics has really been wonderful. I can't wait till I try another style!My designer bleach, handpainted, beaded and sequined jeans was published in the 2009 spring issue of Altered Couture Magazine.I just got a new embroidery sewing machine and I have begun to add embroidered touches to my work. Ilove learning more things I can do with it.
Album 3: This album contains some pretty poor shots of my colored pencil drawings, which were inspired by my collections of Mary Engelbreit calendars. As you will notice the camera leaves alot to be desired, as it's old and I have no patience with it!These are just some recent drawings, I have lots of sketch books of different subjects including Disney!
Album 4: I have an ever growing supply of purses and my latest designs are patch look jeans purses and sling bags that tie at the shoulder and each of these have that special case for that ever present cell phone! I just started a new design of hobo style sling bags with embroidery designs in two sizes, what fun!
Check these out! If you have an interest in jeans,vests,jackets or a purse let me know at dollsandart@yahoo.com.
Album 5: Our first grandchild was born in August. The whole family was so excited when Jaydon Anthony arrive a month early! I made all types of clothes, toys and more for this new little one and enjoyed new techniques, I'm learning along the way!
Album 6:This album contains my newest hobby, scrapbooking. Some of these designed pages are used as examples in my classes!
Album 7: It was just time to learn something new and I did! I love making fabric and clothline bowls and embroidered fabric postcards, that actually can go through the mail!
Album 8:You can see some of my cards and card boxes. What fun to learn to make cards in 3D!
I finally did it, I designed a website and you can see my handmade cards and inquire about or make comments! Go to http://www.carlasgreetingcards.com.
