I heart Macro

Of course you already know where this was taken.  The wrecking yard.  Can you guess what it is?    Again with the blue and rust color scheme.  It is a good one. I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

Playing with Kaleidoscope Kreator

I think this looks pretty spectacular if I must say so myself.  I used a photo of a stained glass window and manipulated it in Kaleidoscope Kreator.  I must print this one out!

Work in Progress Wednesday

This block is closed to finished.  I received so many nice comments about the orange flowers that I decided to keep them.  To make them stand out less to me I added some more orange flowers sprinkled throughout. Now I am not liking the light colored lace on the right.  It seems too light to me so I might add more color to it.  Just not sure how at the moment.

Take a stitch Tuesday

I have worked the long tail beaded chain stitch onto my bead journal for June.  I quite enjoyed doing it.  It is a simple but pretty stitch.  I think it works well here.  I will likely add some more to this piece.  You can find the instructions at  http://pintangle.com/

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/

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

Image
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.
