Gothic Arches - Beach Bathing Beauties

My friend Roxi and I have been working on a fabric collage class for our stamp club and I am completely obsessed with stitching anything I can get my hands on. Using lots of different fabrics and an image from Twisted Papers, I created my first fabric arch. It's a little crazy and messy, but I had fun experimenting!

Check out the other wonderful submissions here.

  2. Very cool! I can relate to going off in new directions obsessively, but then they all seem to end up tied together ultimately!!
