Princess Bubbles Creates

Color and texture and macro photography make me happy.  This image makes me happy!  The vibrant color is delicious! I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

This is my June CQ block.  I have a really good start on it.  I am hoping that means I can get it finished by the end of the month.  A feat I have not yet accomplished this year.  I have added a piece of shibori silk ribbon to the lower part.  It is something I have been seeing a lot on Pinterest lately.  I couldn't resist ordering some from  Flights of Fancy.  It is gorgeous but a little bit difficult to work with it.  Nevertheless I will persist and hopefully get it right.

Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  shows how to do the beaded Vandyke stitch this week.  I have to admit that I didn't remember how to do the Vandyke stitch and had to go back and practice.  I showed it in the bottom photo as I really liked how it looked with the variegated thread.  The beaded stitch is in the top photo, obviously.  I think the bead I used is too large so I am not terribly happy with it.

I added color to darken the lace on the right.  I used my Sharpie markers and I think it looks better now.  I think I can call my May CQ block finished.  I better get moving on my June block!

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/

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!

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.
