People may or may not know that I opened my own little shop on Etsy.com, Athena's Arthouse. I have been crafting designs inspired by my surroundings, long drives through the countryside, memories, and ideas from novels and poetry. I am using fabric cut from old t-shirts, jeans, pants, skirts, dresses, blouses, sheets, pillowcases, etc... Anything that can't seem to serve it's intended purpose and can be recycled into a new piece of art. Some clothing I have bought from places like Goodwill or thrift shops when I noticed most of the fabric was fine except for an unsightly stain somewhere, which is why it hadn't been bought yet. No problem, I can cut that away and use the rest of the shirt or skirt for several fiber art pieces. I also am recycling wooden plaques that once proudly displayed brass plate awards. I have over a hundred of these things and I am working to create each one into proud display of one of my fabric collages.
I'm new to this Etsy shop selling and to sewing in general. I am hopeful that people will like my little artworks. Here's a link to the store:
wow, you make beautiful artworks :)
