I stitched and stitched long landscapes on stabilizer. I used Accent 12 wt variegated rayons, metallic, and holographic Wonderfil threads... Sparkle, sparkle! : ) Shimmer, shimmer!
I did some free motion in the clouds and some couched yarns on the horizons. Then I sliced them all two inches wide.
Next, I hand stitched birds on some and glowing snowflakes on others. Finally, I spent an entire day just satin stitching the edges of these teeny weenie landscapes. (That took FOR - EVER!)
Here they are! All finished up.
There are no two alike.
I love each and every one! : )
Some are day scenes, some are night time.
Some are early morning, some are colorful evenings.

Tada!
All back to back in shatter-proof snowglobes. : )
Don't worry, the art is in a dry slot inside and won't get wet.
It's A Very Merry My Sweet Prairie!

You can find them once again at SaskMade Marketplace on 8th Street in Saskatoon. I supply them there every December for the holiday shoppers. They will be there for sale until they are gone.
* Sorry * - because they are heavy and water-filled, I am unable to ship for risk of freezing.
Have a lovely weekend,
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun! Your snowglobes are terrific, and such a treasure. Wish I lived closer.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about your snow globes ! What a great idea !
ReplyDeleteNow rest a bit :)
gorgeous
ReplyDeleteWOW... nothing else to say!
ReplyDeleteJust the same as everyone else, I'll say, "what a great idea!"
ReplyDeletePlus, I have a question -- did you colour-match the thread on the satin stitched edge, or is the clear thread? Thanks!
OMG! What a lot of stitching in a week. I know how long (and tedious) those satin stitched edges can be. They are going to look great in your globes.
ReplyDeleteAs a new viewer to your blog, I am thrilled to see how dedicated you are to creating unique fabric art. Each one had individual attention. Well done!
ReplyDeleteAre you using some hand dyed fabrics?
Adorable! I love these cuties. I want one of your snow globes. (confession--I made a snow globe with my mini cardinal). I never wanted to go to Sask until I met you. :-)
