Wearable Art Coat from Victoria O'Neill Sew Bee Mine

I'm working on a new design for coat/shawl/poncho/hi-low vest with needlepoints on the back.

Here is the back and front of the first crack out of the gate. Will be adding fringe trim and Ta Da!

Sew Bee Mine Summertime

Stay tuned for some new spectacular coat designs incorporating massive needle arts, and some interesting dresses. I'm in the process of collecting all kinds of goodies in preparation for major sewing blitz over here.

 Frog Hollow Art Show was fantastic. It was hot, temperature wise, and heavy saleswise. Many pieces went home to happy new owners. Thank you to all who braved the heat and came out to support us.

I am soooo happily busy now, not just with my work but caring for our new grandbaby that I am head over heels in love with.

Frog Hollow Art Show wiped most of the wearable art aprons out, so will not be back to the Phoenixville Farmer's Market till the fall. Also we will be having another Frog Hollow Art Show sometime in the fall/winter. Details/dates to follow.

What am I doing today? making a boppy pillow for Francine!

Sew Bee Mine (Victoria O'Neill) at Frog Hollow Art Show June 5th and 6th

 I'll have paintings, one of a kind wearable art aprons, needlepoint totes, some shawls, a couple of coats, paper and fiber collage art, dolls, and shrines for Frog Hollow Art Show this year. Looking forward to seeing "old" friends and new friends. Due to my vaccination status....I AM HUGGABLE, if you are. Check out website for details.

Sew Bee Mine at Phoenixville Farmer's Market Saturday May 8th

It was so good to be back at the Phoenixville Farmer's Market this month after missing a whole year. It was also fun to watch so many people there wearing Sew Bee Mine masks that were picked up at the end of my driveway in the heat of the pandemic. I just took aprons for the first crack out of the gate, not sure of what to expect since people aren't really hanging out at the market like they used to since there is no music, places to sit, or food trucks. Fortunately many people stopped by for aprons. So next month there will be more offerings, including aprons. Making a new batch right now! 

I will be back the Saturday before Mother's Day (May 8th) with new one of a kind wearable art aprons, collage art and a couple of totes. Looking forward to seeing everyone again, old friends and new.

Virgin of Guadalupe 12" Hanging Doll Ornament

 

I have been in love with the image of The Virgin of Guadalupe ever since seeing her while traveling throughout Mexico and Central America in the 70's.

Here is a 12" Virgin of Guadalupe Hanging Doll Ornament from a recent series of one of a kind dolls created with Robert Kaufman fabric. She can be purchased on Etsy 

I will be making more of these for upcoming spring events. Stay tuned for that.
