mirthful inchie

The word for this week's Every Inchie Monday challenge is mirthful. This fiber inchie is made from mottled yellow cotton fabric, a bit of lace, a rose cut out from another piece of fabric, and an overlay of fine slightly sparkly netting. It's embellished with beads and a bird charm.

"The kiss of sun for pardon. The song of the birds for mirth. One is nearer God's Heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth." ~ Dorothy Frances Gurney

Dotti said...: This is so sweet. I'm having a hard time coming up with things that will execute to an inchie...but I'm trying to hand paint the art on. I guess I need to try something different!; January 31, 2011 at 6:32 PM
