So have I mentioned that I love Rebecca Sower? And I love the art tags I’ve been doing all year? I have? Yes, I know. There’s something about Rebecca’s art that speaks to my soul. I can’t even put my finger on what it is. But each time I look at it, I fall in love with the fabric, with the art, with the stitching.
So I was telling my sister a few months ago that I want to make these amazing pieces, too. I know they will never compare to Rebecca and they might not turn out all that amazing but I am ok with that, I want to try. And since I need a reason for doing everything I do, I told her that maybe I’d open an
Being the amazing person she is (and she is so amazing) my beautiful sister went and bought me a ton (and I mean a TON) of amazing things. Fabrics, beads, metal embellishments, sequins. Let me show you some of them:
Aren’t they amazing? And this is not even all. There’s fabric. Stunning fabric. And sequins. Felt. And so much more.
So now I have these amazing goodies. I am scared of not doing them justice. Not doing my sister justice. (She packed all of this stuff into tiny little bags, neatly packed into a 30lbs box and shipped it all the way from Turkey.) I want to dig into them. I want to make things. Conquer the fear. Find the joy.
So here’s where you come in. I need ideas. What kind of things do you think I could make? What are things you might like to buy? This is no commitment to buy anything, I would never expect that, I just need some ideas. Some encouragement. If you have some ideas about the kind of things you have seen that you like, things that you think I could try to do, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.

I know exactly what you mean about Rebecca Sower. I am awed by her stuff! I think some little sachets would be cute and a small enough canvas not to be intimidating. Maybe some little purses. Maybe some pillows.
What a stunning collection of goodies – you have been so spoiled.
I added beads and lace and goodies to a denim handbag 2 summers ago.
You could even make some bracelets and jewellery items.
I’ve seen Rebecca’s art and would love to know what she does with it, how she displays it or uses it.
I would also say start small and grow from there.
As much as I might be tempted to buy something from your etsy shop the dollar/rand exchange and then the additional postage would just be prohibitive.
Can’t wait to see your creations though and share your enthusiasm and creativity.

I am drooling over all this material. So much comes to mind – I like things that hang, like in my window or from a hook in the ceiling.
Awesome selection! Key chains. Wallets with bling. Plexiglass picture frames with accents at the base. Bookmarks. Plain journals that have embellishments.
I love brooches and pins at the moment. Also can easily see bookmarks in all that goodness. Something really lovely would be album identify tags. Have fun.
