Bohemian Headband with Skull and Goddess Applique
Bohemian style headband with Black Skull or Calavera design stitched on, also some red and black lace. I made these out of some fabric I had around the house and put a couple of them up for sale in my Etsy store. Also made a couple to wear myself.
This one has a goddess motiff and sheer ribbon and metallic seed beads stitched on.
Grady Sock Monkey
Another sock monkey. His name is Grady and he’s for sale in my Etsy store.
ACEO Vintage turned Goth
These are some ACEO that I made using packing tape transfers of womens faces over paper with handwritten lines of poetry. I used colored chalks and fine point acid free pens to add touches of color to the black and white images. Some ink stamping was used as well as oil pastels. They’re all sealed with a matte sealer.
Sock Monkey Dolls
I found these sock monkey directions on the internet.
And used them to make the Red Heel Sock Monkey dolls pictured below.
Sock Monkey dolls I made for my grandaughters. I found the cute banana print fabric in the material bin at a local thrift store.
My Cloth Doll photo gallery, mostly primitive folk art dolls.
Mixed Media Collage on Wooden Book Cover
These are photo’s of a wood cover memory book I just finished. I stained the wood with walnut stain then collaged the front with all sorts of ephemera, ribbons, charms, acrylic paints, oil pastels, copies of vintage photo’s, buttons, a collaged hang tag, vintage sheet music.
Inside the book are sheet protectors, the kind you buy in the office or school supply dept. of any store. I cut scrapbooking papers down to size and put two sheets in each protector. These can be taken out and decorated with photo’s, collage, journaling , etc. The whole book comes apart easily with the two pieces of hardware that screws it together to make working with it easy or to add more pages.
I bought the unfinished book from an online wholesaler of unfinished wood crafts about 8 years ago, they’ve been in a box in the back of my closet for that long. Did some housecleaning and found all sorts of craft projects to play with.
I have this book up for auction on Ebay right now. I included the four collaged tags and the Cricut cut letters shown in the photo’s. My Ebay seller name is briar_rose_prims.
