flowers...whatever....let me show you how I make the books that I
love. Here's a cover of one of my favorites.....

Now if you have never taken one of my on-line or in-person classes...you won't know what the heck this is. If you have...for the first time ever I am selling clumpies and you are very happy, aren't you? :-)
For a limited time (because clumpie production is limited) you can purchase a bag of the famous embellishment without having to buy canvas, tear canvas, wash canvas, (cross your fingers that you get clumpies to begin with) cut apart clumpies from canvas, coffeestain clumpies, dry clumpies...you get the picture.
Your bag of clumpies will contain enough to do plenty of collages. (Estimated to be 30-40 if you use sparingly like we do in class.) And considering all that we have to do to in order to "harvest" these for you...and all you won't have to buy and do to get these...$40 with free shipping is a deal.
Use the Paypal button below to order one bag at a time. Use again and again to order subsequent bags.
Clumpies will be on their way to you before you can e-mail me and tell me how excited you are. :-)
$40 per bag
And another thing I have never done before is sell fabric straight from my studio (outside of prepared kits) and ready to use. If it needed coffeestaining...its coffeestained. Some will be new, some will be vintage...all will be handpicked and put together by yours truly.
All the Fabric Finds will contain at least 20 pieces of fabric, a piece of lace or crochet and a piece of our Lipstick Ranch handmade fringe. This red stash is a beauty, but you can select the color theme you want by simply adding a message on your Paypal payment or e-mailing me at lipstickranch@yahoo.com.
Shipping is free. Buy two of these Fabric Finds collections and get a bag of clumpies for free!
Be sure and check out all the kits on the front page of Collage Camp. They are Buy One Get One Free for the moment.

NEW!!!!
The Women-The Flag....
THE KIT!
Also available: Flag Instructions PDF without the materials kit!
"The Women-The Flag" is probably the only piece I make that more or less has a formula to it's concept and construction, instead of a creative free-for-all. :-) With detailed and easy to read written instructions and photos of the process...this project is a perfect candidate for a kit with a short how-to-booklet. AND...you can e-me any time you have a questions.
So instead of a video....and for those who can't get to the state the in-person flag classes will be taught...here's the kit and the instructions.
The flag is a large piece approx 32"x50"... the size of a flag! The first one of these I ever made is in the permanent collection of the Cowgirl Museum in Ft. Worth. Instead of 50 stars I have 50 images of amazing western women. The kit will come with these 50 women or I am offering a version without my images so you can select and do your own. (This version will have the transfer paper to print your own images.)
I make and sell about 20 of these a year for customers and they retail for $500-$600 dollars. In this kit you will have everything you need to make your flag, including great instructions and a "hotline" to me. Ok...so it's my personal e-mail address...but still...
The Flag Kit Complete Version includes:
32x50 canvas main-piece of canvas.
An assortment of new and vintage cream fabrics for collaged stripes on flag
Plenty of coffee-stained red ticking for stripes
Coffeestained blue ticking for behind the images
60 images (so you have a choice) of a western and pioneer women from all walks of life (some known and some unknown). These images are already transferred onto canvas for you.
Coffee stained heavier canvas to use for quotes on your flag if you decide to do that.
Everything you need to make this amazing piece yourself and the step-by-step instructions. Cost: $155
($120 if you don't want my printed images, but want to do your own). The instructions cover that, as well.
And to celebrate the launching of The Flag as Kit....all the other kits that I offer will be buy one get one free through October 15th. Sweet deal. Sweet flag. Make it. Hang it. Salute your skill!
Complete Flag Kit...$155
Flag kit without images...$120

There's more to making pieces that are based on my fabric collage style than meets the eye. Many workshop go-ers have said they would love to make another one or two, but didn't want to spend the bucks collecting all the supplies in yardage or full sheets of the handmade papers, or go thru the hassle of coffee-staining. I hear ya! Took me a year....but I hear ya! :-) I have sold fabric and doo-dad "bits" from my studio before, but never the actual complete kit to make a piece.
