I completed a couple of fabric collages this weekend - they are for a special project I am involved with (its a tiny book...4 1/2" x 3 1/2"). I painted the dove and its background on cotton fabric using acrylic paints.
I also went to The Beetroot Tree gallery and had a wander around their brilliant new exhibition called Mutual Support. It features 'Up Front' - a group of 8 female artists who create beautifully adorned bras, corsets and other pieces of mixed media art. You can see some here and here.Its all in aid of Breast Cancer research and they have all kinds of activities going on including a raffle where you can win pieces of their art (they even have a 'booby prize' haha!!) I went with DH and so couldn't dwell too long...I may have to go back for another look this week!
Corinne Phillips is a friend I met through blogging....she shows some of her fabulous work from the exhibition here.
These are the 8 artists involved.... (click to read names)

Linda you have done a beautiful job on these pages. Love the bird you have drawn too(and you know how much I love birdies). I agree with Holly that your pages are dreamy.

P.S I have just clicked on the photo's of the teeny pages and love all the detail. You have done such a great job Linda! And I adore the dove.
Linda,
The pages are so detailed,which is amazing when you're working on such small surfaces!! I truly admire your abilities!! it's the little needle work that is getting so difficult for me.
What a fun show!!
