Welcome!

Thank you for visiting artful embellishments. This is the third year for this blog and I am so happy to keep publishing. I started in 2011 and began with a quilt of the week, this lead to the leaf of the week for my newly designed paper tree that is located on the wall of my garage in 2012.......2013 is going to bring a lot of excitement and positive change. As a personal challenge for 2013, I plan on designing a artist trading card each week to be featured on the blog.
With so many interests, there will be quilting, art quilting, leaves (and more leaves), as well as experiments in thermofax screen printing, fabric dying, and tons of DIY recycle projects. I may even enter that altered fashion scene. To a happy and healthy 2013, may we all find happiness in those things we create....thank you for stoping by artful embellishments.

Transplanting the tree

Back in January my new challenge was going to be to make leaves for my tree that was previously in my studio in the basement of my house. I sold my house. I moved into a great apartment, but it does not have as much space. The tree sat in my garage since the move. It has been stepped on and run over by my car. Today it is so perfect out, I decided to transplant it. In the spirit of thinking outside of the box, I have moved the tree to the garage wall. I will see it every day getting in and out of my car. It is a little weathered, and beat up, but still my tree. It was so much fun to watch my neighbor driving by, actually stop to watch what I was doing. I am sure I am labeled the "odd woman on the corner." That is just fine by me. So now on May 13 I am challenging myself to get 52 leaves made by December 31. I hope to make 6 animals to go in the tree. Remember the owl.....he will have his debut tomorrow! Happy spring everyone. May you find you happiness in a tree, flower or other beautiful part of nature.
