share to pinterest have fun with collages the kindred spirit yahoo group has a beautiful rr and the themes are wonderful little angel i made mine with lots of fabrics and sewing lynn s theme is vintage paris with a dreamy lady remembering her wonderful time there for the back page i made a digital collage with images of paris coming out of her head and a quote saying i want all of paris this next theme is time for love the other artists had magnificent steampunk clocks truly beautiful work so being french i took a different take on the theme and dressed my little girl in a french maid outfit the quote says it s time for love honey there is a little cupid waiting with his arrow strung for the back page i made a digital collage of a dreamy lady remembering days past in an old mansion the quote says there s always time for love isn t there this last one s theme is quotes just that day i found this great quote on deviant scrap i made another one of my ladies with the big head piece i seem to be quite fascinated with them the back page has one of my favorite image and the quote is never give up never give up never give up posted by socrates at 10 06 am 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest the medieval lace book rr the next medieval lace book i was working in was karen her theme is john waterhouse s heroines here are the front and back covers of the spread by pure coincidence i used a large piece of lace on the left side of the page that perfectly matches the lace karen used for the last page of her book it will look like it was meant to be which of course it was this is the inside left page showing courtly love the right page is built around an image of a young lady kneeling in front of her knight in shining armor the two pages are built on top of a beautiful piece of dyed lace which has completely disappeared under all the embellishments l on the right page are several layers of doilies with some chiffon to frame the image and some guipure lace the top trim is metal hearts and under the purple velvet is upholstery trim i never realized how very dark waterhouse images are it was a challenge to keep the page light i added a vintage brooch that i had in my collection with beautiful stones that echo the colors on the page it seems i haven t posted the previous pages i had done for teri in nyc so here they are her theme is horses and armors on the left page i used a picture of a horse that actually comes from a carousel i loved the colors i tracked down with a lot of help from my friend deb who is also in this rr a horse blanket pin then i aged it on the right i printed some horse equipment terms in french like haslebarde bride which is the bridle henaut the helmet joult joust harnais harness destrier a form of horse cheval horse and palefroi a farm horse for the right page i used a reporduction of the black prince riding armor it was such a beautiful image i used a belt which i had cut up and painted to look like a bridle i have to admit it is quite a superb round robin that we re having and the books are really turning magnificent i am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of talented artists posted by socrates at 9 41 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels altered books fabric collage lace books mixed media roudn robin round robbins round robin socrates art fabric lace pages what do you do in palm springs when there is a huge sand storm yeah closing the windows would be an option i ll be sure to do that next time duh next unless you want to sand blast the paint on your car you stay home and you make fabric lace pages i did have much fun they turned out soooo romantic they are based on heavy upholstery fabric and there is a little hanger at the back or they can be used as the basis for a book or journal cover the images are printed on fabric and surrounded with gorgeous laces from my vintage collection a few vintage buttons and some paper and fabric flowers on each of my pieces there is also a piece of vintage jewelry of course i stay within the paris theme with some french text printed on fabric and a paris tag i like this one particularly it is so soft and feminine these compositions measure 6 5 x 9 i also made some smaller fabric collages on a tag these measure approximately 3x5 these little guys are available for sale individually in my etsy store the fabric collages are there too posted by socrates at 10 27 am 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest last vintage lace book page this round robin journal is now going home to elena and it was my privilege to be the last one to work in it her theme was vintage paris i made the design on the back pages on my new embroidery machine gotta love it i also added a crown and the letter e for elena because she s our queen friend who organizes lots of wonderful round robins her book cover was mainly black and white so i followed the theme on the left page i printed images of paris on fabric and decorated them with a beautiful white flower from beads and buttons in portland and a sweet little white bird inside of a black rose for the background i used this wonderful black and white paris map fabric that i had it all got covered with tons of lace of course for the right page i had this wonderful furry and feathery black nest with precious stones in it it guided the design for the rest of the page i used a large piece of lace that covers both pages it has these large white flowers on it which seemed to continue the theme here is a view of both pages together i trimmed the top of the page with black and white gingham very french the bottoms silver and black trim comes from the collar of a jacket a girlfriend just gave me it comes from italy and has tons of silver beads not easy to wear outside of italy even if you live in palm springs it was perfect to finish the pages posted by socrates at 8 17 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels altered books chunky journals fabric collage fabric lace tutorial lace books roudn robin round robbins round robin socrates art a new website after thinking long and hard about it i ve decided to pull my jewelry from etsy and post it on a dedicated website why etsy is a great site for artists and to post our work for sale but it has a big disadvantage it doesn t allow the artist to set up categories so your work gets all mixed together if you like me happen to have various fields of work i will be holding a huge sale on my jewelry before it goes from etsy 20 all the jewelry that s a pretty good deal so if my dear followers have noticed i ve been mia at least one did yeah thank you liz it s because i ve been nose down designing my own website it s almost live waiting for the server to access the new name and i will release it all the new name the sale on etsy everything here is a preview of what it may look like the software is a big learning curve but the biggest time consumer is to get very clear and detailed photos which of course is one would want when looking at jewelry thank you for the feedback that you like the pictures better on a black background i agree so i m converting all my pics to black another item on the list oh and i will give away one of my bracelets when i launch the website to someone who leaves a comment that s something you really don t want to miss stay tuned posted by socrates at 10 49 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bead embroidery beaded cuff beaded jewelry i ve seen the light no i havent found religion bu i have taken a class to learn how to photograph my jewelry properly and oh what a difference and most of it has to do with the light duh i haven t even bought a fancy light set up i m using the wonderful natural light in my house here in palm springs yeah another bonus of living here this wonderful light makes for wonderful photos nest i need to unearth my tripod for which i haven t had much use in the recent months but it s here somewhere and it will help getting even more crisp photos in the meantime you be the judge my jewelry has never looked so good on the screen with a bit of light adjustment in photoshop and voila i m posting before and after photos those are always fun wow what a difference here s the next one i really love the colors on this bracelet and i just couldn t capture them before i do like the black background but look at these colors it s a beaded embroidery cuff with a gorgeous blue agate in the middle seed beads lochrosen silver beads and pearls now doesn t this make your mouth water yes it takes thousands of beads to make one bracelet it takes me about 3 full days to complete one and the latest bead free form peyote in this type of design there is no support for the beading one just weaves and adds at the fancy decides i was in the mood for another chromatic design in the view of goth or steampunk this necklace is beaded with toho treasures they re called treasures because of how much they cost i think they are the flatter square looking beads i used a simple black velvet button for the closure there are black pearls black swaroski crystals some bugles beads of various sizes it is quite spectacular on it would have been so difficult to photograph properly you can imagine black on black without this new instruction yeah jim lawson great course posted by socrates at 10 06 am 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bead embroidery beaded cuff beaded jewelry gothic photoshop steampunk peyote beaded bracelet in this new bracelet i m exploring a new stitch called flat peyote i ve added metal copper beads on the edge to give it a ruffled look which i like a lot this is not bead embroidery for a change but rather bead weaving to make it more steampunk i put a clock face in the middle but i feel it really needs more i m thinking of adding pearls inside the clock face or maybe around it here is a close up of the watch face and the ruffled edge with the metal beads i made another cuff in woven beads and peyote stitch in green and shimmering glass beads the edges are ruffled too because i used beads that were slightly larger than the base one they are so fun to make because of its colors i call this one sea foam i m also working on a large neck piece back to bead embroidery i think that remains my main love i m combining a lot of my favorite colors as well as new beads i bought at the tucson bead show and of course watch faces here too can you notice a theme steampunk i used a large black agate for the cabochon which i captured with a peyote stitch i did the same with the large clock face and the steampunk metal button for the rest i m using 15 0 seed beads and small black bugles it does take a long time to cover
