FABRIC and PAPER ART FROM MY HEART


Out in the Prairie where the wildflowers grow and the song of the birds like melody flows, there's a peace God bestows that brings joy to the soul...

A Printer's Drawer Finished

I finished this small Printer's Drawer, and I love it.
It now hangs in a little corner nook of my dining room.

I'm now looking for something unique to make??
 but haven't come across anything yet.
 I'm always so open to new ideas.

Hope everyones weekend is good.

More art work & Cards






I've been real busy this last week making birthday presents, to my sisters and my Daughter. My sisters love home made Greeting cards, so they each got ten. Plus a Fabric collage of their Mother and my Birthmother. My Daughter also is getting a Fabric Collage of her Family.

 It was so much fun making all this for family instead of for sale.
It's been a very good week. Hope everyone has a great week ahead.

Yard Stick/Ruler Art




I had this cute little ruler shelf for about a year now, I finally decided to do something with it. It really turned out kinda nice. In fact I may try and make my own little ruler shelf. This one is made from a complete yard stick.
Have a great week all. Smiles a lot, Carol Mae

Another Fabric/Lace/Gluebook style BOOK

This is a fun little book I made for my BirthDaughter, just to give her an idea of the different kinds of art subjects I like to create.
Also I found this neat Printers Drawer that I'm going alter a bit and display little things.

I feel great now that I'm creating again and can't wait to start junking again.
Ahhh, but I still am hooked on Ebay.


A great evening to all. Smiles, Carol Mae

A year off!!! Love creating again



I just had to do more creating, after a year off and concentrating on Ebay sales, I missed my Art work Terribly.
So now I'm creating for friends and Family and of course myself. Here's a fabric book I created for my GrandDaughter. She's a second year college  student and plays on the Golf college team. It's a small book showing that she can do anything she put her heart into, as these ladies have done. Hope she like's it. So much fun to make.

I love Fabric Art and want to learn more!! Especially using all kinds of lace and old photos.

Hope everyone had a wonderful year and a better one to come.

Would love to hear from you!!

Blessings, Carol Mae

Puppy Love Fabric collage



I think I have puppies on the brain, I just could'nt help myself. Had to make another Fabric collage. I think this would be really cute in a kids room. It's an 8x10 on an art board ready to hang.
I listed it in my new ZIBBET Shop at www.zibbet.com/prairiedreams/shop

Nice and cold here in Packerland.
Almost the deep freeze!!!!

Many Smiles to all,

I just had to share this ever so cute bird picture.

I'm giving Zibbet a try this year, so will see how it goes. A very cool handmade selling site. Still sticking with Etsy as it's a favorite of mine, who knows? maybe I'll increase my sales. The wonderful thing is I'm meeting so many wonderful new crafters also. So it's all a good thing.

Have a great week everyone.
