following the wave

I know the pictures are grainy and perfectly unclear, but
thought I would go ahead and share what I have been working
on. The words embroidered on the piece above say:
"hearts desire"
and 
"intention"

I have been cruising around and with all the fabric weaving going on
decided I would take my inspiration from several blog artist I visit.

I have every intention of taking some of Jude's, (spiritcloth.typepad) classes,

http://spiritcloth.typepad.com/cloth_whispering/2010/12/cloth-to-cloth-video-series-1.html

I look forward to learning from Jude : )
but until then, I am "winging" it.

My inspiration fabric to begin weaving was sent by:

http://isathreadsoflife.wordpress.com/

A fabulous scrap of fabric from her travels to Africa.
She sent some wonderful bits and scraps
that I have been saving until just the right project comes
along. This is my first "bit" to use.

Thank you Isabelle!

    I would have guessed you had already taken the class. It is so much fun, isn't it? The ideas and inspirations are endless. I hope to see you in one of the classes soon.

    Hi Marie -- Oh, your heart's desire piece is just right -- I really like the red & gold -- and the woven cloth is lovely, even more so with special cloth from Africa!

    Hi Gina, the picture was greener than it should have been. The fabrics are really indigo, but they
    are soothing. (I can't wait to have my camera up and running :)
    It is hard to see all the details in these pictures.
    Thank you<3

    Hi woman with wings,
    I like the way the heart's desire looks next
    to the boro Madonna. I look forward to sharing
    a bigger picture and clearer one too!
    Thank you<3

    The weaving is such a fun way to work meaningful little bits of cloth into things... Looks great!

    Lovely to see what you are creating, Marie :) The milagro heart is just delightful! I have never done the weaving method before and feel happy that you found a place for this African fabric. I recognize it: it was part of a dress I wore then, the material comes from Tanzania (East Africa).

    Thank you for sharing where the fabric came from.
    It is so special that it is from a dress you wore
    : )
    and to know what part of Africa it came from.

    I am having fun with the fabric weaving. Jude/spiritcloth is such a knowledgeable
    teacher regarding fabrics and stitching. I just signed up for her Cloth
    to Cloth course yesterday so, I am learning some new things.
