I heart Macro

My frozen flower has turned out kind of neat!  I saw instructions for this a while ago and froze this flower back in the summer.  It took me a while to get around to photographing it.  So glad that I finally did it.   I am going for a walk this afternoon and hope to find some beautiful leaves and will try it with one!

The start of something good

I don't use a lot of white in my work so this fabric just had to have color added to it.  The photo is not doing justice to how lovely it looks with the inks added.  I adore adding color and getting inky.  So fun!  I am hoping to use this fabric for a base.  My idea is to add ribbon, sheers and beads to create a waterfall.  Hopefully it works out as well as I imagine it!  I think I have a good start.

Enjoy the free coloring page I created.  It is my pleasure to share them with you.  I quite enjoy creating them and coloring them.  As always, I would love to see what you do with them.  Lately, my mind has been swirling with ideas of taking them further.

Work in Progress Wednesday

The crazy quilt block I posted about last week was totally uninspired as far as crazy quilting.  I have set it aside and will use it for a base for something else.  The little Barbie dress has also been set aside to hopefully be used in a different CQ block.  Pictured above is my new September CQ block.  Lots of lovely lace!  I have added silk ribbon embroidery and a few beads.  Still more to do but I am feeling more inspired.

The petals are reaching upwards!  At least in this photo they appear to be.  It lifts my spirits! I am linking with Today's Flowers http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

More resurrected work

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.
