Princess Bubbles Creates

You can pull the pen completely apart and blow out the gel.  Pictured above is blue gel pen ink spread and smooshed.  I then did the bubble printing thing over the gel pen ink.  Below I used slide mounts to isolate small areas that are interesting.  I think it would be good to add the three small pieces to a journal page.

I love getting presents in the mail!  Actually, I just love getting presents! I won this book on Fibre Arts/mixed media ning.  Very cool.  I haven't had a chance to read it yet but it looks good.  

My sweet sister in law gave me the starfish.  She told me she\s excited to see what I create with it.  I love the under the sea theme so it was fun for me to create this piece.  I started with white silk that I then painted and added rubbings.  I also did some needle felting and stitching.  Finally I added some beads.

My friend Nancy has let me borrow her book 'Arteffects' by Jean Drysdale Green.  I am definitely ordering this book.  It is very comprehensive and has many techniques that are new to me.  The book was written 17 years ago but it is still worth purchasing.

How pretty is this paper!  I just couldn't resist buying this paper last week.  I don't know what I am going to use it for but that doesn't matter.

I love getting fun things in the mail!  Part one of my prizes came.  Take a look at all the cool goodies!  I can't wait to play with them!  I'm looking forward to receiving the book from C&T Publishing.

We laughed, we played, we had fun!  It is so good to get together with like minded artists.  I am truly blessed to have such a good group of friends with which to play! Mary Lynn brought bubbles.  We printed them on paper and it looks great.  Nancy got out the workable fixative and chalk pastels to experiment with them.  It was pretty stinky and I would recommend doing that technique outside.  Still it was fun and I will try this again when I can be outside.
