Iron-On
I made the little field bag with re-purposed linen from an old apron I never used
and printed one of my watercolor moths & a butterfly onto iron-on inkjet transfer sheets made by Strathmore, trimmed the shapes and ironed them on to the front flap of the bag as directed. To finish it off I embroidered a few details on top.
A surprise gift for a friend in a land far, far away.

It is ALWAYS a pleasure to read your blog and see all the wonderful art you create in so many different ways.
Thank you for making this available to all of us.
You and your entire family are very, very creative.
Such a great idea! I have some of that iron-on paper somewhere...OMG, that just gave me so many ideas...
:D
What a lovely and great gift! I love it :)
There's just no end to your amazing creativity! I'm so impressed.
This is beautiful, what a wonderful gift.
Such a great way to show your beautiful work! I love the added dimension the embroidered stitching provides. Definitely want to try this for a good friend who lives far away too.
Gorgeous - I really like this way of using your art. As always. :) I seem to love everything here!
Will you have a workshop again like you did this year...
So pretty - the embroidery over the iron on really adds something special.

you friend is going to adore this bag
There is no end to your creativity! Lovely.
Couldnt help asking, but in the first pic, is that a hook-sort of thing that you have painted a bird on?
at first glance looked similar to the painted stones that you have done earlier.
Just curious...to know if you made them or bought them?

Hola Geninne!
¡qué afortunada va a ser tu amiga de recibir un regalo tan lindo!
me encantó que lo bordaras además de haberlo estampado con pintura... como que le da el toque de haber dejado un trabajo bien terminado.
Una vez hice un cojín pintado y bordado para mi pololo. Inspirado en uno que hiciste tú de un gato infantil. Quedó super lindo! Además le puse un poco de acolchado en las partes que el gato era más gordito (idea de mi mamá)... pero creo que nunca más volveré a hacerle un regalo que me tome tanto tiempo!! xD -te enviaré una foto por mail!
Saludos desde Chile!
Very cool, Geninne! I really like that bag! And, I notice that the knob has a bird on it! Is that another of your creations!? You fill every inch of your home with creativity and love!
So beautiful. I am loving your art every day - using your march calendar as my computer background. Thanks :-)
Lovely!
Oh... Spring is coming...sooo lovely

que hermosas mariposas, casi pareciera que saldran volando de la pantalla ;) saluditos.
While your beautiful gift for your friend is such a treasure, I just had to comment on the beauty of the cabinet knob it is hung from! I keep coming back to take another peek at it, lovely! The little touches, like that, that you surround yourself with are such an inspiration and reminder to observe the details in everything. Thanks for sharing :)
