fabric charms

I was checking out my favorite Fabric group's post and I noticed that they were hosting a charm swap... now right away my mind went crazy with the ideas of what you could do with cloth and turn them into charms.
but they were not doing a fabric art bracelet but a mixed media charms like the oh so lovely just simply charming one.

so I got a small group of 14 fiber art girls over at
flickr together and we are going to create fabric art charms for a swap .
this is what I came up with to show as ideas to help jump start the project, I have not decided what I will do for my charm yet :) you can see the details of the charms here


I have been thanked so many times for sharing my art and my process... I have been told so many artist would not share so much... but I started this blog to share what I do its a diary of my art and as I grow with my art its helpful for me to be able to look back at what I did.

Art is what I do... its fun! I have to create its part of me... its my soul...
