Total Art Soul - for artists

Work is cutting into my creative process at the moment!

Every other week I work two days and  it just does a number of my creative side!!!!!

I know, I shouldn't complain...it's two days! It is the 4am and 45min drive added to what turns into a 9-10 hr day and then another 45min drive that is rough.

So sorry, no fun pictures or whimsy today :(

Last year I discovered many great things that people are creating using the selvage edges of fabric! I immediately became intrigued, and then quickly addicted to working with them.

My first project was to recover a chair cushion for my sewing studio. As you can see it was in bad need of some TLC!!!

It ended up turning into my favorite chair now!

After this, now fabric comes in my door and keeps its selvages intact. They are immediately cut off and saved in a basket. It takes quite a few to sew together and make a new fabric out of it.

This week I was inspired to create a new selvage project, and I wanted it to be one I haven't seen anyone try yet.

 The most fun, unique headband was the result!

Even the ties are selvages.

This is what I designed for fun this week! Now I plan to try and knit with some selvages! I will blog the process of this as I can inbetween working on things that I have to get finished. For now, have a great day!

It is a busy Monday morning for me! I have so much to get done and not enough time to do all I want to do.

My studio have been invaded by ladybugs, they are cute though so they can stay a little longer. But I must get then successfully turned in to a tote bag and a diaper bag and get them listed today! So I need to get busy.

Have a great day  ~cynde
