Princess Bubbles Creates

Poor little blog!  It has been ignored recently due to getting  Her Cup Runneth Over Show and Silent Auction  installed.  The bulk of my time has been spent working on this worthy cause!  the show is now up and looks fabulous by the way!  So many talented artists have contributed some really fantastic art bras! I have had a few minutes to create though.  The piece pictured above is a really good start!  I know it doesn't look like much yet.  I have applied old music sheets to canvas fabric.  I have also added some transfer foil and then some inks on top of that.  I like the way some of the shimmer shines through.  I got so lost in applying the inks that I spilled half a bottle of Heart of Darkness ink.  What a mess!!!  I even had it in my hair.  I am not sure what my next step is for this piece.  It is definitely going to have stitching on it but it may need more ink first.

I am having a lot of fun coloring my own designs!  It is very satisfying to me.  I hope you like these designs that I post and spend some time coloring them. It is so relaxing. I am not sure the rosie pink color was the right choice.  It was originally much darker so I used a white pencil crayon to tame it a bit.  Oh well, not the end of the world.

I created this leaf print in a workshop 10 years ago!  Where did the time go?   I have always liked the results even though the colors are not as vivid as I usually enjoy.  This has sat waiting for inspiration all these years.  Finally I have added some hand stitching to it.  I am tempted to leave it at that.  It is rather simple but simple can be good.

The center green part of this flower looks like a cozy welcoming bed to me.  I just want to lay down and rest on it!  Love these colors, they are so vibrant and cheerful to me. I am linking with http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.ca/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

We have had so many wonderful art bras donated this year!  It will be exciting to see the show installed next week.  Here is a little sneak peak of the art bra my friend Nancy Townes created. SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS BY THE SEASHORE The sea is ever changing. When the sunlight dances off the waves and creates rainbows in its spray, it is a joy and a delight to walk peacefully along a sandy shore. But seasons change, and shorelines change and the gentle waves can turn into a challenge for those caught too far off shore. Some will lose their battle against the waves. So it is with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Just when life seemed simple and manageable, a challenge is set before us. We struggle to survive. We hope and pray that with the support and strength of family and friends, we can make it back to shore safely and stronger than we were before our ordeal. Back to a calm and peaceful and joyous life. Also, pretty cool is that I will be on Rogers Daytime on Wednesday Oct. 2...

I used a coloring page as the base for this bead journal.  I am totally at a loss as to why I used a commercial image and not one of my own designs.  I do like the way it turned out though.  I went with a mixed media approach  using beads, metallic threads and micro beads adhered by gel medium.  I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

This time I printed my design larger.  I lost some of the design but I don't really mind that.  I had a lot of fun coloring with permanent markers and Caran D'ache watercolor crayons.  I am glad to share this design with you and hope that you enjoy coloring it.
