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.

Leaves 20-24













These leaves were done from the same upholstery book. A different sizzix die was used. I again incorporated various embellishments to add dimension to these leaves. I love these bright colors as they are really going to pop on the tree since the background is off white. My favorite embellishment is the lone earring. As I have mentioned before I was given a box of treasures (a.k.a. junk). In this box there were so many fun embellishments including broken bracelets, single earrings, old dictionary's, cigar rings, letters and numbers. Using these to embellish these leaves will allow me to admire my "junk". Since they will be prominently displayed in my garage!
