Fanciful Fabric Collage
Mannequin and Collages By Mary Maki Rae 2009 Copyright
What to do with a stack of saved small pieces of extra Canvas, a box of collected Fabrics, and some Vintage Buttons and Laces-? Think Green. . .! Now is the time, more than ever-!
I use the unsized canvas for backing on my "Fabric Collages" - It's also perfect for Handbags, Tea Cozies, Hot Pads, Aprons, and Decorative Pillows - It's endless-!
Also - find a small or medium sized Men's Denim shirt - preferably Light Blue. Shorten the Hem and Sleeves - then Applique Floral Motifs and a Touch of Lace at the Pocket - And you'll have a Feminine and comfortable cover-up-! My favorite to wear when Painting-!

I work from sketches and measurements - just like in Upholstery

I love to use those "Mother of Pearl" vintage buttons as an accent in the Floral Collages and for Handbag closures - they shine with such an attractive soft glow-!
