My hand-made Valentine's Day Card is done!

It was a big week this week (re work and personal) but our Valentine's Day night was wonderful. Hope yours was too!

See you with the beginnings of a new bird on Monday!

P.S. I changed the settings on my blog so that people with bigger screens (which most seem to have these days) wouldn't have tiny little pictures sitting in the middle of their page (a pet peeve of mine). That said - is it TOO big? lol

It looks fine on my mobile app but at work - where I have a tiny screen (ten inches or something) when I look at my blog, I have to control minus the page to make it properly viewable. Could you let me know what your experience with it is?

Adding a little bling to the heart...

I decided I would make my beloved a home-made Valentine's Day card - and started with these fabrics.

(The one on the far left is a gold btw - it photographed funny!) I had this idea, which focused on the quilting - a really simple look but stand-out on the background fabric so I started work.

"Hiraeth"39" x 29"

In the late fall of 2012, there was a call for a challenge group I don't belong to - "self portrait". I had never done a self portrait and the idea sat in my head like background music that I didn't pay much attention to until I came across the word "hiraeth" on Facebook two weeks before Christmas.

I'm an avid reader, and work with words for a living, so I was curious enough to look up this unfamiliar word and learned that it was a Welsh word with no real English equivalent. But the closest equivalent is "homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost".

We have a some little friends! The otter and sprite and made from painted Lutradur, as are all of the rocks.

The sprite's antennae is cut from a large sequin, the flowers are cut from fused fabric (the blues are hand-dye from Deb Lactiva); and the tree is needle felted as mentioned in Monday's post.

Here, we have one of the process photos I found - someone hiding in the trees. She was put there while I was testing the effect of the foreground tree, but below, you'll find her as she appears in the final piece...

She peeking!

And you know who else is peeking? That little cat in the tree. :)

And a little fairy door.

I can hardly wait to show you the finished piece on Friday. I really believe it's the best thing I've ever made! *bounces excitedly*

Over the weekend, I found a few pictures that were accidentally un-erased and left on my camera card, so I can show you a few process pics about the trees.

So, up here is a tiny portion of the finished trees section, and as you can see, it's very busy and fully in there. So come check out how the layer process happened after the jump!
