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.

WHIMSICAL CAT FAIRY 

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.

SWINGING FAIRY....!

SWINGING FAIRY...my newest design!

For some time now I've been wanting to design and create a little fairy swinging on a vine swing.  Little did I realize that creating the vine swing would take me almost as long to create as the fairy!

I had to sew two long stems wide enough to be able to turn them inside out and have a wire armature in the middle of the stem while stuffing them with fiberfill.  It was a lot harder than I anticipated!  After I finally got a pair sewn and stuffed, I then handpainted them using silk fabric paints.  Once the stems were totally dry, I could them twist them together.  The really hard part was holding them together so that I could sewn them securely and shape them into a swing.

The other trick was trying to hold the fairy in place while positioning her on the swing and sewing her to it at the same time.

I'm thinking it might be a while before I attempt another one of these "swinging fairies".

Dancing RAINBOW FAIRY....! She's sure to make you smile!

Dancing Rainbow Fairy!

I just finished this colorful little RAINBOW Fairy, and thought I'd share her.  She is really sweet and colorful, and one can't help but smile when you look at her. 

It was a rather gloomy, cloudy day when I started working on her, and as she can into "being", she brightened my day.

Lately, I've been admiring all the lovely lucite flower earrings, which I've been seeing in Etsy shops, so I decided to order some of these beads and use them as accents for my fairies.  You can see how I used them in the photos above and below.

I purchased mine from BELLAS BEADS AND MORE, who has a great selection and prices!  CLICK on her link to check out her shop.

Rainbow fairy and butterfly mobile! Whimsical fantasy creation!

Rainbow Butterfly and Fairy Mobile!

For a long time now, I've been wanting to create one of my tiny fairy's flying on one of my fabric sculpted butterflies. I finally did it!! 

Getting her to balance on the wings took a long time and it was very "touchy", but as you can see in the photo above, she is flying.  She is hanging from a bit of clear fishing line, which has been attached to a hidden loop in the back of her fluffy hairdo.

She can also be displayed sitting on a shelf or table.  The photo above shows her sitting on a flat surface.

Back view of her hanging as a mobile!

She is now listed in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy, so if you'd like to learn more about her and see more photos, just click on the link below.

Now that I have the design figured out, I hope to have time to create some more of these fun creatures.

(CLICK ON PHOTOS to learn more about this item)

Introducing my latest idea....a fabric sculpted butterfly attached to one of my flower photo prints. I've decided to combine my two favorite things to d0...creating fiber fantasy creations and taking closeup flower photos. The results is a "Butterfly Flower Photo" wall accent. The butterflies are permanently attached to the glass of the frame.

I have a lot of gorgeous flower photos, which I will be combining with one of my original designed butterfly creations that will match the flowers in each photo. The butterflies all have Swarovski crystal bodies. I will also be having 8" x 10" size photo accents.
