The Magic of Laurel Burch Fabric


Whimsical fiber sculpted "Cat Fairy" created
 using one of Laurel Burch's wonderful cat designed fabric
(she is currently available in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy.

I have been designing and creating my original designed fiber sculpted fantasy sculptures for over 20 years now, and one of my all time favorite fabrics were those designed by the talented fabric artist, Laurel Burch.  

Her colorful, whimsical designs inspired so many of my fairies and mermaids over the years.  I was so sad when this great artist passed away.  Recently I was quite amazed to note how her various designed fabrics have skyrocketed in price!  Her use of color and whimsey appeal to so many!!  Designs that years ago used to be anywhere from $10.00 - $12.00 a yard are now going for anywhere from $25.00 - $69.00 a yard.  I am so happy I had the opportunity years ago to purchase so many of her wonderful designs.

Below are several more photos of some of the creations I designed using Laurel Burch fabrics.

These are just a very small sample of some of my creations using Laurel Burch fabric.  I have created so many over the years, but don't have the photos any more.  I do hope to be able to create several more in the future.  Those photos above with links, can be seen in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy.

HOW FUN IS THIS CREATION!! My latest butterfly fairy!

Whimsical BUTTERFLY FAIRY
on
Tropical Jungle BEANBAG base
(fabric by Laurel Burch)
(CLICK on her above photo to learn more about her!)

I just finished this creation today, and was so pleased with her I decided to put her on my blog for all to see. She was so much fun to create with the colorful beanbag base. Below are more photos of her. She is now listed in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy and will also be going to my art show this coming Saturday, in Delafield, WI. (Unless, of course, someone gives her a good home before then.)

She is designed to sit on the beanbag, but can also sit by herself.

You can click on any of her above photos to get more information about her.
