Princess Bubbles Creates

This summer I took a number of art journal workshops with Sandra Spagnuolo.  The workshops were a lot of fun.  I posted the journal cover that I made in that workshop a while back.  Unfortunately I made it the wrong size so I had to make a different one.  This is what I came up with.  My book binding is less than conventional for this journal.  I will post more pictures later.

I am feeling very frustrated with blogger right now.  It is not co-operating with me at all.  It deleted the close up picture of the beading and I can't get it back.  Drag. The background of this piece I created with tissue paper, felt, matte medium and paint.  I really like the texture.  The texture does make the small beads hard to see though.  That's why I did a really close up picture of the beads - oh well.  I added the embroidery stitch - shell chain stitch that Sharon B showed last week.  Here is her link http://www.pintangle.com/    I like the stitch and will definitely use it again.

I have been spending a lot more time with my camera lately.    So much fun!

Are words necessary?

I was at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls and got these fabulous shots.  Butterflies are like flying flowers to me!

I love the color of fall but the red and green makes me think about Christmas coming!  Where does the time go!

It was a lovely afternoon for a walk.  The wild flowers are still blooming and their color is fabulous!  My Nikon rocks!
