Inspiration Avenue: Turquoise and Lime Dreamy Teapot

That's what happens when you read a post, work on the challenge, then leave for several days. The challenge gets changed and when you visit to link up, you learn you can't play in the challenge. So, even though the rules were changed, I decided to use this as an Inspiration Avenue Challenge because I even hand dyed some fabric so I could play this week.



I'm on a new kick. I'm making art flags. I know some people call them prayer flags, some affirmation flags, and others call them art flags. I prefer to use the term art flags because that's how I think of them. They are to be placed outside in the elements for the world (and the environment) to take over and change them. Here is one I made for my friend Sally. There will be a total of either three or five, depending upon how enthusiastic I get over these colors.



Here's what this one looks like hanging on my clothes line. Yes, I hand dyed the green fabric which was originally an old bed sheet. I used the same dye for the lace, too. The turquoise was originally a blouse I bought last year at the thrift store.

So regardless of the fact I got the wrong challenge information, when I went to post my entry, I learned the challenge had been changed to teapots.


I quickly went to my studio because I already had some hand dyed fabric I could use. I sketched a teapot and sewed it. I have no feed dogs, so following my sketch was a bit difficult. I had planned to have this read "Drink," but my brain froze and I wrote Dream instead. The D is loose and it didn't scan properly, but I think you can see what I was going for. So here is my dreamy teapot that I will use as another flag for someone else to enjoy. I hope Shel likes my choice, even though the link to her blog was wrong.
