Princess Bubbles Creates

I am not sure how we are already almost a week into the new year and I haven't done a blog post.  Time seems to fly faster all the time! This is a color copy of a collage of a tree I did years ago.  I really like the tree!  I used Beryl Taylor's method to apply paper to fabric to create this.  I used a gelli printed fabric as the base.  The tissue paper on top has given it interesting texture.  I am not super happy with the way it looks right now though.  It is quite stiff so stitching into it might be too unpleasant.  So I am puzzling as to how I might save this.

Top photo is my bead journal for December.  Bottom photo is my crazy quilt block for December.  Actually, both of them I would like to do a bit more work on but I have run out of time.  I am ready to move onto new projects anyway.  2014 wasn't a particularly creative year for me.  Caring for my dying mother took a lot out of me.  More than I realized at the time.   I am feeling like my head is above water now and that my creativity is returning.  Happy New Year!

I created this snowflake in Kaleidoscope Kreator using a photo of one of my bead journals.  Pretty cool!  I haven't managed to get a lot else done though.   I have many ideas perking about using these snowflakes and look forward to being able to spend more timing creating after the holidays.

Isn't this a burst of sunshine!  We have seen peaks of the sun far too rarely this last little while.  I am a solar powered girl and long to see the sun regularly. I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

I have so much fun creating these snowflakes!  I also have a number of ideas for ways I want to use them in my art.  I am hoping that one of my ideas comes together in time for an upcoming show.  Please feel free to use this snowflake.  I would love to see what you do with it!

I have so much fun creating these snowflakes with Kaleidoscope Kreator.  I am glad to share them with you.  Please feel free to download and use for your art.  Just share where you got it from!

Yesterday was the Grand Guild of Fibre Artists meeting.  I decided to bring my fibre book for show and tell.  I was very pleased with the favorable comments even though the book is very much in progress.  The comments spurred me into action.  I really enjoyed working on more pages and feel pleased with my progress.
