Love Bears… ALL

Because I believe in repetition… this is the width and length setting for attaching this RAZZLE DAZZLE thread.

I painted cheesecloth awhile back.  So I found it  (Yay) as well as the pom poms and the fused fabric flowers…

So this stash of cheesecloth was painted, using Lumiere paints.  I (of course) added glitter.  Some of you asked me about the glitter product I use.  I bought mine at the local Bernina store, or you can get it at the Quilt-A-Way, both in Great Falls.  However if you search for ‘art glitter’ on the internet, I am sure you can find sources through Amazon or other craft supply outlets.  I have not seen it, nor do I think they carry it in our Michaels or JoAnn Fabric stores.

As to the glue, my local quilt stores carry it, too.  It’s a top quality glue product, one with a very fine tip, that I love using.  All I did was just dab a bit on the pom pom…

Sometimes the paint was heavily applied, and it ‘stuck’ to the plastic sheeting I dried it on.  COOL effect eh?!

Found this cool stash of linen-like ribbon.  LOVE! (Yes it is!) Oh how I love being a pack rat when you can start uncovering the treasures in the bottles, boxes, and jars!

 Yes, I decided to add more!  Bathing Beauty Beads! Yes, I start without a foot… use a polyester thread, and a sharp 90/14 needle.  You can read more about beading by machine in my post, by clicking here.  I’ve posted all my best tips and hints there.

 And I am thrilled with the look of the beads.  They make my heart sing.  Wild Thing!  (Go ahead–sing it with me!)
