Today, I'm posting two completed projects. One is a piece that I've posted about quite a bit and that I'm happy is finally finished. The other is something I made on a whim last Sunday afternoon.
The photography here isn't great. I hate correcting for the light with Corel Draw because it always over brightens and the colors don't ring true. I also hate that it's yet another gray day here, so when I took this picture, I had to use my flash. I'll take other images of this quilt for show applications and, in that situation, I'll use my light set-up and bracketing. When I have those pictures, I'll post those as well. I just wanted to celebrate being done with this piece.
I'm really excited about this bag I made the other day. I combined several hand-dyed fabrics for the body, piping and lining and used some thrifted fabric for the handles and interior pocket.
Here's a close-up of my elephants. I have a wonderful copper stamp that I bought a couple years ago. I used it with wax resist to get a parade of elephants.

They are both beautiful. I love the rich colors, and the stripey quilt is my absolute favorite project you've shown in the last few months since I started reading your blog (OK, the discharged circles are pretty cool too). Kudos for finishing projects!
Kristin,
Thanks for your encouragement and for visiting my blog.

hi malka,
i recognize those circles/dots on your bag!! and i love both these pieces, and they both look good on my monitor!
oddly, i found a table leg in dallas that has a very similar circle as yours. can't wait to try it in some wax!

ps. i am really enjoying reading your blog, thanks for suggesting it!
Both projects are lovely and definitely things to celebrate. The stripes are so vibrant -- they just make the quilt burst with energy. I'm quite impressed that you dye your own fabrics.
