Fabric for Chairs

Poor tired old chairs...

fabric worn through...

foam stuffing getting picked at by littlies...

dig out the old pale jeans...

chop off the seams...and maybe they fit...

stitch them in place...

and a denim flower now adorns the worn...

then there are the dining chairs..

old patchwork chair covers cut..

and stapled to the straight...

a new life from the old...

Rusty Butterflies

 The butterfly shapes were cut from old watercolours, the canvas boards had collage & ribbon on them, then repainted with a fairly dry brush, & rusty nail & old wire to make the butterfly bodies.

Mixing Faux Rust technique ( find this technique at thicketworks ) with real rusty nail & wire to make the butterflies, then attached to repainted canvas boards.
