Poppy Fields
by Desiree Dianne Habicht
I rescue all of the paper towels my students throw away after teaching a fabric painting class. These paper towels are often more beautiful than some of the fabric. Background is painted fabric, poppies are painted paper towels. Stitched and beaded.

by Anna Hergert
Hoarfrost is my favorite winter phenomena, which quickly disappears once the sun appears, warming up the air and causing the ice to fall in chunks from tree branches.

Petal Study
by Jeri C. Pollock
Petal Study is about creating transparency and depth as well as texture to produce an organic feel and natural movement while not attempting to re-create nature itself.

Growing Roots
by Tove Piraja Hansen
Time is in: no more obstacles, no more fights, no more excuses. The right frames and right timing are here. Now is about growing and consolidating your choices. Enjoy it! Hand-dyed background (shiny fabric) with tulle. The land and tree are miscellaneous fabrics that are layered as a bas-relief.
