new brooches

I have been also creating small brooches with my hand painted fabrics adding various embellishments from, semi-precious stones, to fancy metal art pieces. This one is a very nice Noah's Ark. Lots of bright colours included in hand dyed ribbons. Each comes with pin back sewn onto the felt back.

Some of the new things I have been creating include small over the shoulder handbags. I only have one type shown here. Denim with collaged handpainted fabrics for embellishment. I have also black cotton, silk and many others. I will try and get some pictures of these to share soon.

other new creations

I have kept busy over the last month having several weeks at home. I have also been making my little elf slippers using my hand painted fabrics this time. I am very pleased with these and they are so much fun to make!

The top two pictured are made from suede not painted.

These little shoes are less than 3 inches in length the pen at the bottom helps you get an idea of their size. Top pair right orange with red are lace up.

A couple more of my paintings collaged mixture of fabric, paper stamping and copper and brass metal embellishments. These vary in size from 8x10 to 18x24. If your interested in these paintin feel free to email me about price and shipping. oliverlambert08@gmail.com
