Princess Bubbles Creates

I have not made much progress on my CQ project for August.  My art time has been limited.  Still I am liking what I have done so far.  All of the fabrics I used were stamped, stencilled, painted by me!  I have used some glitter paint, Pearl Ex and transfer foil.  I love the sparkle.

Oh!  I like this stitch!  I feel pretty comfortable with the herringbone stitch so I decided to try something a little different.  I am really pleased with the way it turned out.  Yay!  I will definitely use this stitch again! Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.

This is a cut glass dish lit from underneath.  I had a lot of fun playing with this idea.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

Not a lot of difference since the last time I posted about this block but I do consider it to be finished now.  I did add a bit of stitching in the upper right corner and maybe something else, I don't remember.  I do think the upper left corner is a bit dark but I am not sure how to correct that.  I will wait until the block are stitched together to decide how to handle that.

The top photo is my attempt at closed Herringbone stitch.    Bottom photo is my attempt at Woven chained bar stitch.  I still have some weaving to finish on that.  I was getting a little tired of doing but will hopefully get it finished in the next day or so.

  There is a lot of journal writing on the first layer of this page.  I doubt that anyone could read it but I think you can see the marks.   I painted the eye with Reeve's water soluble wax pastels.  It feels good to do a bit of painting again!

Well, that week went past crazy quick.  I haven't had much time for creating.  I think this flower is foxglove but I am not a gardener so I could be wrong.  I think it is a very interesting looking flower.  The spots are so interesting.
