A Paris Street Market June 2017

As I write this post, I am on the road with my dear friend Amy (owner of the Pink Attic Cat), her husband and my friend Greg on our way to Junkstock!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day this past Saturday at A Paris Street Market.

Created lots of new items.

Large batch of 130 vintage Embroidered Pin Cushions

Vintage Embroidered Doilies Garlands -21 new ones

Small batch of Camper Tea Towels -18 new ones

House and Girl Mix Media Keychains

It's been a very busy last few weeks. Inventory created mostly in preparation for my next market- Junkstock in Nebraska!

Bike Flour Sack Tea Towels

One of my favorite techniques is Sewing Illustration.

I've created tea towels using this technique.

Last year I made and sold out of all my camper tea towels.

Earlier this year I created tea towels with houses and blue ball jars with flowers.

I have many ideas on other tea towels I want to create.

They all take time to develop- create a pattern and a technique as to how create it.

One of those ideas is to create a bike tea towel.

I finally accomplished it and I am happy with the results.

Like the mix media inspired girl Mantra pillows, I used vintage crochet flowers. Mini crochet flowers in the bike basket.

Mix Media Inspired Girl Mantra Pillows

Once again I find it hard to find time to properly blog.

I enjoy the creative part so much more, it's difficult to set aside time to handle all the social media. I think I do a better job with Instagram (especially since I have it linked to Isa Creations Vintage on Facebook).

My first outdoor market of the season was last Saturday-

A Paris Street Market

I'll post photos and details about that later.

Today, my post will be about my new mix media inspired Girl Mantra Pillows.

Although I rarely have time to paint, it remains one of my favorites.

I decided to experiment by painting three girls face and neck on canvas. Then I transformed my canvas artwork into fabric. I created various patters for hair.

I stitched everything together on a pillow. I added crochet flowers from vintage doilies. The back of the pillows is a tattered vintage quilt. Finally I stitched an inspirational Mantra. All the pillows have a zipper closure.

All the pillows are truly one of a kind-

Incorporate my own original artwork

These were rather labor intensive to create- I only hope people can appreciate the time and love that went into each handcrafted pillow.

Deconstructing doilies to get the crochet flowers made for a pretty photo.

Also created a few pillows from vintage Embroidered quits and table runner (house).
