I heart Macro

I enjoy the complimentary color scheme in this photo.   I think the rust is absolutely fabulous with the blue.  Tomorrow I am taking two of my auto wrecker macro photos to a local art festival.  I have printed them on canvas 20x16 inches.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

Work in Progress Wednesday

I am not too sure about the orange/yellow lace flowers in this piece.  When I colored them with Sharpies I thought it was good.  Now I am not too sure.  I have added a lot of stitching to this piece in the last week.  I honestly don't know where I found the time!

Take a stitch Tuesday

The Long Tail Chain is the stitch for this week.  Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  gives great instructions for it.  I was thrilled to find the time to sit outside in the beautiful sunshine and stitch this pretty stitch.  I stitched a flower in pink rayon thread in the upper right of this photo.  I also stitched some peach buds along the feather stitch.  I want to add a bunch more as well but that will take a bit of time.  I thought I better get this posted now or I might not get to it all this week. Life has been pretty busy lately.  Yesterday we, as in the Grand Guild of Fibre Artists, hung our show at the Mill in St. Jacobs.  It looks fabulous!  I am thrilled to be a part of such a diverse and talented group.  If you live in the area and can find the time to get out there, it is worth the drive.  The show goes until Saturday.

More from the wrecking yard.  I have hundreds of macro shots from the wrecking yard and I can't wait to go again.  This one is broken glass.  Love it! I am linking with Laura at http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

Coloring lace flowers

Image
I used Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol to color these lace flowers.  I love having the ability to customize the colors to anything I want.   I plan to add these to my May crazy quilt block.

I made a bit of progress on this piece in the last week.  I am not quite sure where I found the time to do it but am very glad I did.  I crocheted some little roses and added them.  I also stitched on some little fabric flowers and some beads.  I took the photo upside down and now I am wondering if I like it better that way.  We will see.  I don't have decide for a while.

Take a stitch Tuesday

This is the start of my bead journal project for June.  I thought I would try out the beaded feathered chain stitch that Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  taught us last week.  I used a round bead and I didn't stitch in a zig zag pattern.  I used a Kreinik thread that is metallic and almost looks like little beads.
