a special week with a special friend

This is my student and friend, Alexandra

She makes 'clucks' which you can find out about here.

This week she joined me in my studio to make a tote bag out of her own art and out of fabric scraps.  We had so much fun playing with gelatin prints on fabric and on paper

printing our own original art on fabric for use later in our projects

and sorting through mounds of fabric!

Next we had to piece it together

and sew

and play with a dog

 or two

and sew

and sew some more!

until it was all finished!
