Art Bra 2009 Block

The Art Bra Ladies started to work again - We'll have another quilt in the works for 2009 with "Roses" theme. Our individual blocks is to be done in Victorian Colors based around a piece of soft dark pink sent out by our organizer, Barbara Blankenship.
When I learned the theme of this year, I immediately remembered an old fabric that should be perfect selection for the "Rose" theme. It was my mother's dress, tailored for her at least 35 years ago!!! In those days Chine silks were so famous with nice, elegant prints! My mother gave me that old dress when I've started CQing in 2004. I used a small patch of that fabric on a RR block with "Rose" theme a few years ago, I've also sent small pieces to my RR buddies, most of them used that small patches on their blocks as well. Once again I'll use a small part of this fabric for a special project, ArtBra 2009.
I decided to use mostly pink tones and beige and gray to make a contrast with the my fabric with the rose print. Now, it is time to go get pieces together to create a nice block, 8x8" size. I want to add SRE and other things to have heavily embellished block. I'll share its progress:)

Another painting with white work doiley

I've started this painting in May but afterwords I didn't go to art studio in the hot summer days and I wasn't mostly here in the past weeks. Today I went there and completed my this unfinished painting. It is another reproduction I made according to my teacher's method. I don't know its original owner. But, I enjoyed so much to work on it as the previous one. I still use acrylic paints. I'm sure that if I've had used oil paints, outcome should be much more better. This painting is the friend my other painting with laces:))
I still couldn't decide about the frame for these paintings. My furnitures are rustic and the wall papers are dark blue, I guess rustic or vintage wooden frames will be nice? What do you think? I would love to have some suggestions:)
