and what I want to be doing..

it's always good to make decisions..

Distant Memories-Open for Presales

Open for Pre Sales!

Ciao, gentle viewers..

I have just finished my latest collection..

Distant Memories..

all the pieces are

Italian Collage

mounted on cradled boards..

Distant Memories

was born in my love of ephemera..

as I chose the pieces and bits of antique papers and ephemera,

each one brought back memories.. of relationship, of death, of simple daily experiences..

all universal in nature but personal in experience.

Sacred Contracts

Sacred Contracts, Italian Collage, Caterina Giglio 

Each piece is layered with collage

and then pressed to flatten and unify the collage..

I often do these steps many times until 

I find the correct mix 

of elements..

I am never sure of the placement or how the collage will come

together and that is part of the surprise

of 

Italian Collage..

The Cheerfulness of Blue

To view all the pieces in the show

go to the 

gallerie

this last piece is titled 

Cloud Viewing

enlarged detail

 

Thank you so much for your most kind readership 

and for the constant support

you have always given me!

Slow Stitch, Leaf Printed Fabric Book

Don't you just love a little 

concertina?

This one is simple

and easy to make..

 Just a couple of signatures

stitched into the folds and then

embellish it with 

some slow stitches..

I have loved this little project..

hope you do too!!

Ciao! Ciao!

Momigami and Slow Stitching

Ciao, 

Dearhearts..

I hadn't made Momigami in a while..

and thought it would be a fun

video to make ..

for you..

 

and since we were

turning paper into cloth..

I thought it only fair to 

do some simple slow stitching..

Hope you like it..

give it a try and see what you think!!

C4N!
