Its’ about me
Hi! I’m Ganell. My life is fill with family, friends and fabrics. Some new, some old. I love to create using my ever growing stash. My passion for fabrics has led me down many roads. From dressmaking into Art quilting and mixed media arts. I enjoy creating art and comtemporary patchwork quilts, fiber post cards, unique wearables and paper arts to named a few.
I am addicted to lustous fabrics, vintage textiles, beautiful buttons and trims. I learned to sew with them when I was very young. I have been blessed with a very supportive family who encourages my craft. I have two adorable grandsons, who are my biggest fans. They like all my projects even if I don’t.
With cloth being the basic element to the pieces that I create, to me this is not a means to an end. It is a beginning. I like to work with beautiful papers also. I enjoy creating collages with both fabrics and paper. I will showcase some of my projects, some experiments, some successes and a few of my failed projects too. You can also see more of my work on www.rainsstudio.flickr.com and stop by http://rainstudio.etsy.com . So please sit back, relax, have a cup of something delicious and warm, and stay awhile. I’m sure to be up to something creative which you may find inspiring! This is about my creative journey embellished with some of life’s experiences.
