Fabric Collage and Zipper Flower
Wanting a perfect place to keep my smartphone, I created a fabric collage on a small muslin bag. Also, I recently found an industrial size roll of white zipper trim at a Thrift store for a steal. I've been wanting to try creating a zipper flower and have seen them everywhere on the internet, so this is the first one I came up with. I sprayed Glimmer Mist on the zipper to give it a pink color and then used Fabri-Tac glue to assemble the flower. Thanks for stopping by my nest and have a great day!
Take Care - Robin

Hi Robin
The muslin pouch is such a fabulous idea and love your creation, is the image a family heritage photographs?
As for your zipper flower, they may be all over the net but you added your own twist by dying the zipper. Isn't it so therapeutic making your own flowers? Yesterday I sat and made a bunch using chocolate brown satin ribbon and some beads.
It is so good to see you creating art and posting on your blog.

Oh..I love them both! I got a small bag similar to the muslin with a long strap, and I did an iron-on of a bird - it was perfect for my smart phone ..yours is LOVELY!!
Both of these are just fabulous! Good for you that I am not a fan of pink or I would have made off with that flower. Guess I'll just have to make my own and can thanks to your generosity. It was nice of you to share your zipper stash with me!
That smart phone is going to have one smart looking case! What a great idea, it's gorgeous!
This is the first time I have seen the zipper flower and it's lovely! As is your smart phones new cozy bag...what a lucky phone.
Hi Robin, Your smartphone will be happy to have such a pretty home :-). The zipper flower turned out beautiful too. I love that you added some lace.
Hugs,

Wonderful creations, dear Robin!! Have a wonderful day! :-)
Beautiful collage Robin, great idea to use it for your phone, and i love the zipper flower, I have seen them made into roses, ever tried that?
Hope you are staying cool inside , looks like you are :)
Very nice pieces Robin. Found you via Linda Findley's blog, The Art Sook. We follow each other and I was commenting on hers. I had to click on yours icon just because I liked the vintage bird. I"m a bird person too and I love vintage. You do a lovely blog. I"m following now. I've posted your blog to my Pinterest and my Facebook "Like" page to share with my followers. Would love it if you come visit my blog. We are American missionaries in Ukraine now 17 years. We were in Texas visiting churches just a few months ago.
