Vintage Page Designs: Fabric Bird Collage

May 10, 2012

Fabric Bird Collage

I'm just loving playing with fabric at the moment.  The base of this 6" x 6" collage is a piece of grunge board that I sewed a piece of tea-dyed ticking to.

Then, I just layered up things I love:

  • stamped, tea-dyed tag
  • piece of handmade paper
  • page from a vintage book
  • old postage stamp
  • scrap of an old vintage map
  • vintage buttons
The main focal image is a bird from an old book page (found in the Vintage Page Bird Kits) adorned with an old lens.  Everything was either sewn onto the fabric base or adhered with gel medium.  Here's some close-ups:




I'm linking to the following Brenda's Tuesday Treasures.

Happy Creating!

Ali

I absolutely love this.
Tea dyed ticking is wonderful (I just used some navy ticking on a recent wall hanging - a teeny scrap)

Perfect color and print for this! I'm NOT a fabric person, but I do work with plaster (when the weather is warm and dry) and this idea would work great with that... thanks for the idea.

An exquisite collage Ali, the layers and textures are fabulous and the vintage lens and buttons adorn it beautifully. A great image too. I hope to be getting some lenses soon - I have a friend who is an optician and has moved premises, says he has some I can have, can't wait.
Hope you are having a good weekend and thanks for linking to my Tuesday Treasures.
