Fashion Friday

Angelia | May 12, 2012 | No comments

Always on the lookout for fashion/color/design inspiration I found this article in the New York Times and it showcases a collaboration of sorts.  It is surprising how some people get together in thier work.  I work with SA a lot but we are in our own style in design.  I would like to find an artisan to work on a project, someone with a different style as well as media could create and interesting challange. This is a great combination, and so much interesting color and pattern.  So, who would you love to collaborate with in you work?

Market Totes

Angelia | May 2, 2012 | No comments

I was in Virginia Beach yesterday and dropped off some new “big” tote bags and pillows at Chartreuse.  These are nice big bags for the summer to carry to the beach or picnic in some modern prints.  Stop by and check them out, as well as all the other creative things in the shop.  It is a really beautiful place.  We have a very busy week, things are changing fast.

Silk Painting Surface Design

I found these beautiful paintings over at Surface Design.  It is so inspirational the different techniques and styles you find in art work.  I have been working with fabrics for many years and with silk painting as one my main focus,  these wonderful silk paintings presenta very different style, palette, and skill than the way I work.  I wish I had time to go to the National Gallery of Art in Washington to see them in person.

If you would like to learn some more, my silk painting class is coming up.  Check it out on the classes page.

Planting Earth Day 2012

Angelia | April 24, 2012 | No comments

Earth Day happened this weekend, we weeded, and planted, and mulched all day Saturday and just made it in time for a full day of rain on Sunday.  It was a so nice to work with the soil and fuss with the herbs and flowers.   Now everything looks so bright and beautiful.

Today we spent the afternoon out in the wind and rain, while the boys were being filmed for a coming attraction “Dillzilla:Titan of Terror!”  Elizabeth and her team were great.

A busy week coming up, and more classes to add to the schedule.

Fashion Friday

Summer fashion is so tricky, as you get older.  I especially need to cover my legs-scars.  So I like pants, but not capri pants, they just seem to make everyone look short and chunky, I wear them at home and always feel fat.  I do love the new wide leg crop pants that are “trendy” this year.  I have been making a similar version for years, but know maybe I can purchase a pair as well.   On the the next issure….SHOES…..

Modern Quilt Fabric

Angelia | April 20, 2012 | No comments

My creation
I am finally getting some shots of this fabric group.  I have a new quilt pattern I am working on and this is the fabric I was able to use on of my print designs as well as the commercial fabrics.  The yellow is not a color I use that often, but I do like it with the black, cream, and grey. I have a couple of yards of the “Round and Round” print left and will have it available in my shop soon.

I also have a class coming May.

Natural Landscape

Angelia | April 18, 2012 | No comments

My yard is kind of a mess.  It has been a couple of seasons since much of anything has been done except mow the “weeds” lawn and some pruning.   The soil here isreally bad-red clay here in the South, and I don’t use chemicals or want the waste a lot of water to have a perfect green lawn. Natural landscape plants and rock gardens are slowing going to take the place of just grass.  I have been doing some research and found this great resource, houzz.  You can set up your own ideabook. This photo is great example of working with the area you have, it is beautiful.  Baby steps this year.
