Ah the blazing, hot colors of summer!  These withered petals have a lovely appeal to me. I am linking with http://allthevs.com/macro-monday-mixer-8/ http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/

I think the stitching adds interest to this monoprint.  Truthfully the print isn't all that interesting without it!  The silk thread is a dream to use in stitching as is the silk fabric.  I am not sure if I will add more stitching or leave it as is.

Okay, it is finally finished.  This is my crazy quilt block for May.  Yikes!  Running rather behind.  Better figure out what I am going to do for June! I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

I bought a bouquet of flowers for myself for my birthday.  This green flower is what attracted me to the bunch.  So interesting.  No clue what kind of flower it is though.

I love trying new things.  I love buying the supplies to try new things.  However, sometimes, those things end up sitting for longer than I care to mention.  I have a large Gelli plate that I finally used to print these pieces of silk.  I used Akua ink to print.  I was expecting it to take forever to dry but that has not been the case.  I printed on silk and like that the ink has not changed the hand of the silk.  The push to try this was a printmaking show coming in a few weeks.  My approach to printmaking is fast and loose so the chances of being selected by a purist juror is pretty slim.  Nevertheless, it got me experimenting with my 'new' supplies.

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.

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.
