The very talented Sheila at Orange Esmeralda is hosting this month’s theme, A Single Flower, at Art Journal Journey. Sheila inspired me to join in on the challenge as I discovered a single flower start piece in my box of odd pieces.
I decided to finish the flower as a page for my fabric book. Which I realize is a type of journal of my textile art bits.
I created the flower by tracing two spirals onto Wonder Under and fusing them to the fabrics.
Cut them out.
I chose a base fabric for the flower.
I layered the pieces and fused them all together.
I did raw edge appliqué around the spirals and chose a decorative stitch to sew around the outside just catching the edges of the base circle.
A stem and leaves were added as well as some select selvedge words and color dots. The base fabric for the page is a printed scrapbook paper onto Magic Fabric. On the right side edge is a scrap of stripe fabric and another strip of selvedge.
Adding selvedges to my pieces is becoming a signature thing for me.

Thanks Sheila for suggesting and inspiring me to join in the challenge and adding to my fabric book art journal AND getting another odd piece finished up.
Anyone can join in for the monthly challenges. All mediums are welcome. Have a look at the other talented artists works here and be inspired to join in the fun.
