I have been watching a tv programme about the Icelandic sagas and have been reading one called The Laxdaela saga which is the fascinating tale of a woman named Unn the deepminded...what an excellent description for a strong woman character. I have downloaded it and am reading it through wattpad which I highly recommend for your mobile as its free! Back to my piece I have stamped a lovely scrollswork image onto tissue then sewed this onto various fabric scraps including dyed bandage, dyed dryer sheets etc. I have been playing around with textures hence the twig, old button and lace..the background is off an old rusty umbrella which I found. Be sure to check out the scrollswork site as its closing down soon and now everything is 80% off. Over at UK Stampers there is a vintage choice competition so have entered this piece into that and which ends today.

This is beautiful artwork. I love all that texture.
Lorraine..I didn't read close enough. I just now realized you said you DYED all those things you used to make texture. That is about the most creative thing I've ever heard of. How do you think of this stuff? :o)
Thanks so much for the great comment. :o) I agree about the Love chapter..it says it all.
