another snowflake

I have so much fun playing with Kaleidoscope Kreator.  They really should pay me for all the advertising I do for them!  Nevertheless, I use that program and create with joy.  It doesn't get much better than that!

last bead journal for the year

Image
Originally I stitched on some beads trying to do it in Robin's style.  I love that style and that is why I joined the project so that I could learn to bead like that.  Well, it just isn't my style and there is no point in trying to force myself into a mold that doesn't fit.  I am learning it is best for me to be me.  I decided I would just cut out that section.  I had been thinking about having a hole of sorts in this piece anyway.  I added some paper mesh across the hole and stitched my beads onto that.  Well, that isn't easy to do but I think it was worth it.  I also added another layer of paper behind the mesh.  This whole piece is many layers of paper all adhered together with matte medium.

on line courses

Hi All I have never taken an on line course.  I think it would be a good idea for me to check one out as I am considering teaching some.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a really great course they have taken?  Would you mind telling me about it?   Or if you were to take an on line course what would you want/expect from it?  Any and all comments on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Doesn't that just make you happy!  Please feel to use this in your art.  If you do send me a photo.  I would love to see what you do with it!

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy.  I am a simple girl.  This snowflake just makes me smile.  I am so glad to have my Kaleidoscope Kreator program working again.  I ran into a bit trouble with it when my old computer died.  The tech support was awesome and got me up and running very quickly! I have fresh ink in my printer so I need to use it up before it dries up or clogs.  I will print the snowflake and then bead it.  I can't wait to see it finished!

painted tissue and felt journal cover

I believe I have not posted this little journal previous to this.  I showed it at the workshop on Saturday and received many compliments on it.  So I thought I should show it here.  I painted the tissue paper with shimmery paint and then adhered it to the felt.  It is a wrap around cover.  The felt works great for that.

a chance to win Japanese paper

http://www.thepaperplace.ca/wp/2011/12/01/the-2nd-great-chiyogami-giveaway I just want to let you know about this amazing chance to win some lovely paper.  All you have to do is leave a comment at the above link to get entered for a chance to win.  It is a bit selfish of me to post about it as it gives me another shot at winning.  If I were really selfish I wouldn't share the link though as now there is more people that know about it and I have less of a chance to win.  Whatever!
