About Me:
I work from home making cards, pictures and other crafty things using fused fabric, felt, wire, beads and papers. I have always loved making things and for the past two or three years have turned my hobby into a little business. I sell through some lovely craft and gift shops here in Scotland and I have an Etsy shop at www.aileenclarkecrafts.etsy.com

So nice to meet all you wonderful artists.

I'm really glad that I joined FiberArts/Mixed Media as it really is a great place to network with so many amazing fiber/textile artists. The inspiration I get from al the beautiful work I am seeing is sending my creative mind off in a whirl.


Last week I had my first go at needle felting. I have been working on picture type pieces and ATC's rather than 3D forms. I hope to combine this technique with my fused fabric work to create new ideas for pictures that I will then frame and sell. I

I think so, my husband`s ancestry is Scots . His grandfather came to Canada over a hundred years ago. Stratford is a delightful town with the Theatre and the Thames river beside it. I just downloaded my Challenge Piece, tell me what you think. I finished another one similar without the wisteria for my solo show next month. Its my first show and I am very excited!

I use my sewing machine on a satin stitch, using mostly variegated threads. I use hand painted fabrics on the back and then I can sign them. I am glad you like them. I tried hard to find my style with the embellisher. I`ll post my best piece, the Arch that i sent to Australia to be in a series of shows.

Aileen, do you have a sheep embellished piece for sale? I checked your etsy shop and didn't see one? Donna

I bought an embellish machine last May. I took an on line class with Dale Rollerson at the Thread Studio. I learned so much. I sent a piece to Dale's Challenge in Australia. I'll post some embellished photos for you to see what I have done. It is your work that has inspired me to do embellishing! Happy embellishing, Donna

I love your works of art with fused and embellished materials. Your framing looks so professional, yet personal.
