Princess Bubbles Creates

This fabric and paper collage started earlier this year.  I wasn't super excited about it and it ended up at the bottom of the pile of experiments.  Yesterday I decided to add more fabric and machine stitching to it.  Oh yes, and some transfer foil.  As a piece it is um, not great.  As a background it is far too busy.  What to do?  I am thinking I could cut it up and make greeting cards.  Or cut it up and then do some beading on to it.  Or both!

Here is another coloring page for you to print.  I would love to see what you do with it!  I printed mine on vellum and used Sharpies to color it.

It is the last day of September and I am glad to see it go.  Not a very fun month for me.  I was really stuck on a crazy quilt project for the month but today an idea came to me.  This will be my princess block.  I am using a Barbie dress and some luscious silk and some velvet a friend gave me.  It is always fun to use something that a friend gifted.  Look out, some major bling is coming to this piece.  I have to get my sparkle back!

Sharon shows how to do the Barred Chain Stitch at  Pintangle   I really like this stitch and think it works quite well with the metallic thread and handmade paper.  I am going to have to remember to do this one on a crazy quilt. I am linking with http://www.supermomnocape.com/

It has been a couple of weeks since I could participate in sharing my macro flower shots.  I think the carnation is much more interesting in macro! I am linking with http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

I started this piece a while back.  I thought I had finished it but I was not completely satisfied with it. It is very heavily textured and I quite like that.  I think it could even use a bit more!  I have some interesting yarn that I think I will couch down.   It is kind of fun to take a piece and make it better!

I hope you enjoy coloring these as much as I do.  It is a very meditative process.  This one I printed onto photo paper and colored with Sharpie markers.  They look very vibrant on the photo paper.
