I was on a roll this weekend! I had a total blast and felt like I got alot done. Of course that meant not answering my phone (sorry friends, still love ya), but I really needed work and the inspiration was there. Time is of the essence these days.
I don't know what it was about these shoes that caught my eye, but I thought they were so pretty. All my work is quilted not paper. I'm just a fabric junkie at heart. Sooo, I transferred the images onto silk and then cut them out. The background fabric has been heavily quilted and then washed for that oh so wonderful aged, old, quilt look. I then made tags that have cardstock on the back so you can write a fabulous message. I just had to make a "doodle book." I loooovvve to doodle and I carry a doodle book in my purse. I write quotes, make little sketches and heck... doodle! They are so much fun to carry around. I find myself doodling all the time. People always inspire me.
Then there are some of my "mail art" cards. These are so much fun to send and to receive. They come with a clear envelope so the recipient actually gets a piece of art in the mail and the post office people can enjoy looking at it to and are all jealous because someone loves you enough to send you something so special and handmade and one of a kind! I also made a little piece of art that would look good on a shelf, a dresser or a nightstand. It sits on this adorable wire easel. Ooo la la it is fun! Everything is available on my site if you are interested. Free shipping in the USA! Purchase here.
Today is also Worldwide Rabbit Love and Appreciation Day. What a wonderful day it is. Of course I have to share some photos of my kids as I love and appreciate them every single day. They bring me so much happiness and ask for very little in return. Please visit my friend Paula if you are interested in adopting a bunny and if you want to look at some more fabulous bunny photos, please visit my nephews here.
Well have a great week. Be good and love some bunny!
Hugs,
Shell
This week IGF Razzy, Chloe and Silfay (my outside bunny that I have been feeding since he was a baby). Mama loves you my precious snuggle bunnies!

Wowie Shell, you have been busy! I love the shoe art - You are so talented! They are really spectaclar! Now you need to make some purse art to compliment the shoe art! (and for me, hint-hint!) Love the doodle book, I have a select few of those too, but could always use a really pretty one like yours to carry around. Love the bunnies, give your kiddo's big snuggly bunny hugs from me!

Oh Michelle,
Your work is scrumptious. I might just have to send myself one of those cards, lol. And the Bunnies! What can I say, they look like little prim and proper pug nosed children posing for their school picture. Such expressive little faces, irresistible. I guess I can't hide my dorkwadness, but then again do I want to, lol.
Have a beautiful bunny lovin' day,
