Exploring Vintage Easter Crafts

]]> Do you enjoy exploring and creating vintage crafts? I’ve discovered an enjoyable free e-newsletter, Crafting with a Vintage Look, from VintageImageCraft.com.  In the current newsletter, and on the web site, you’ll find Easter crafts, images to download, and more.

As I sorted through cards and letters and calling cards from my grandmothers’ era, I found vintage items that personalize my collections and make our family heritage art work especially memorable and personal.

Incorporating the Vintage Look into Your Quilting

]]> Vintage Look

RUB ON ART VICTORIAN LACE GOLD
Vintage, old-fashioned, Victorian, antique…these terms describe the days long ago, or the early part of the1900s.  They bring to mind flowers, lace, lavender, and dainty looks in one’s crafts and quilting.  Do you like this appearance in your quilting and fabric art? 

I’ve discovered a site, Vintage Image Craft.com where you can find ideas and supplies for your vintage crafts.  There’s also a free e-newsletter to keep you updated.

My daughter often incorporates vintage images and techniques into her fabric/fiber art.  What do you do in this area?
