Textile Cards
The cards are hand-made, original works of art. The natural fabric (cotton, linen, rayon, velvet) is hand painted by the artist with dyes and is embellished with thread sketching.  Frameable in a 5 X 7" frame. They are for sale at local outlets in Creston, BC and by contacting the artist directly. Below are ideas for using the textile art in sewn projects.

Each 5 X 7" image is hand painted with thickened dyes. The fabric is then cured and washed before thread sketching can begin. Eileen can be commissioned to paint on larger fabric pieces too and they are popular for quilting as the dyes become permanent on the fabric.
