Angelina Fibers & Off the Wall Friday

the blue tape is the center - to remind me that NOT to put anything there!!!

Okay.  I'll admit it.  I procrastinate.  I'm sure this is isn't a big surprise to anybody who knows & loves me.  But gosh - when you're staring at a composition on your design wall for weeks that is  lame, lame, lame (and that's lame - not lamay) - wouldn't you procrastinate??

I don't know.  Maybe I was waiting for the nighttime fairies to swoop in one evening and fix what obviously I couldn't.  Orrrrrrrr maybe I was just waiting  for an earthquake to just shake it all into the right place.  Still I had no idea that my salvation would come in the form of  a little pack of   Angelina Fibers - which is the best dang thing since BACON!


OMG - is this stuff cool or what??  Is that Sun/Moon neatolina?!?!  Yes  - I have no clue if that is a sun or a moon - but who cares when it sooooo darn cool (almost as cool as Bacon - but not quite - although a lot less fat and calories).

Its so easy to use!  All I did was take it out of the package  - sandwich it in my teflon applique sheet in a thin layer - press it for 5 sec on the silk setting.  And wal- la - very cool Moon/Sun - it was easy enough to cut into the shape I wanted.  I did press it a bit longer to give it that more crispy color!

I also decided the piece needed a dragonfly since none of my other lily pieces had dragonflies.  I got the idea for its wings from Sandy (who came for a visit today).  She loved this one piece of  special occasion fabric I had.  After she left, I thought - hey that would make great wings and it would balance off the Angelina shimmer nicely.  So I layered it on a piece of light sheer fabric - used Ultraviolet Misty fuse and made a set  of quicky wings.

So for only 2 hrs in my studio, I finally had a break through!  I think the rest of this piece should go easily - well until the quilting line has to be decided on.  Its always somethin' isn't it??

So what have you done creatively???
