Fred is, of course, my favourite name for the pieces I do and this one is no exception. This is a picture of Fred, not quite finished. Each piece in Fred is complete in itself.. made up of fabric pieces for the right side, a fabric back and a piece of recycled cardboard from cereal…
Kitty Go Nightly……….Now here's a girl who knows how to balance her life! House cat by day, girl-about-town by night. She's fun-loving and savvy, a little wild around the edges, and just daring to defy curfew……….I created the bulk of this shoulder tote using textured chenille.

I found these cute plastic mini figures of Indians on horseback, but they were in primary colors, so I painted them with Ranger Alcohol ink in metallic copper. I made the mini envelope from papers from Tim Holtz Nostalgic line and adhered it to the background. The Indians are held on with a jump ring…
