Work in Progress Wednesday

Image
My art bra 'Fruit Cups' is coming along.  I have added some fruit beads and other pieces of fruit that seem to be made of paper, possibly.  I would love to get this finished up in the next week or two as I have an idea for a second bra.  If anyone is interested in contributing and art bra to Her Cup Runneth Over fundraiser for HopeSpring Cancer Support please contact me through this blog.

My bead journal for June

Image
This worked up pretty fast!  I am pleased with the way it turned out.  I can't seem to get the colors right in the photo though.  They are a bit more vibrant in actuality.

I heart Macro

My life is pretty awesome.  I get to play with my macro lens and make beautiful art.  I count myself very blessed.  Top photo is obviously a flower.  Bottom image is an experiment.  I love the abstractedness of it.  I could totally see printing this on silk and stitching into it.  Yum!

Journal pages

Image
I am still working away at the prompts from the Facebook group Fabulous and Free Art Journaling Challenge.  I feel these pages are not great art but that is the beauty of a journal, it doesn't have to contain great art.  The top spread uses markers and pattern paper as per one of the prompts.  It also has numbers featured in the journaling, another prompt.  Two for one in this spread.  The bottom spread features a tree.  The prompt was simply to incorporate a tree or a leaf on the journal page.  I love trees and leaves so that was an easy one.

The last seam!

Image
Not sure why it has taken me so long to get around to finishing this.  Well at least finishing the embellishing, the fun part.  I will still need to put a backing and border on it which is not terribly exciting but it sure feels good once done.  I used a seam treatment idea from Valerie Bothell on Facebook at Joyful Embellishments.  She is very clever and it is good for me to learn from her!

Oh this looks a little dull. I created this image in Kaleidoscope Kreator and printed it onto canvas.  I plan to use it as my base for my bead journal project for June.  It will be all kinds of sparkly when I am done with it! I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Orange and pink together are such happy colors!  This lily was lovely!  This is my birthday week so I need to buy myself some flowers to photograph!
