More work in Progress

Image
This butterfly has been machine stitched, hand stitched and hand colored.  It is becoming a doodle cloth as I keep adding more marks.  I am having fun trying out different media on it.   I have used Prismacolor pencil crayons, Smooch Ink, Caran d'ache watercolor crayons and Inktense.  I think it might be ready for some beading now.

Coloring page

A  simple design this week.  Sometimes it is nice to have something a little bit easy to do. I used watercolor pencils and Smooch Ink.  I love the shimmer of Smooch Ink.  As always, please freely enjoy coloring this!

This is one of those pieces that has been hanging around for a while.  I created it with the intention of doing some bead embroidery on it.  Today I added some Smooch Ink to it in places to add some glimmer because beads weren't going to add enough right?

I heart Macro

Image
When I first glanced at this flower I would have called it white.  That is not how I would describe it after photographing it with my macro lens!  That is what I love about macro it makes me see things in a new way and that is always good.

October Crazy Quilt

Image
I am having trouble getting my crazy quilt projects done on time each month.  At the beginning of the year I had a clear vision as to what I wanted to get done.  Due to that I was able to get my blocks finished quickly for the first four months.  Since then I have been floundering.  I am persisting though.  There are only two blocks left to do for the year.  I can do it!

Have fun with this free mandala

Image
Click on the top image to print it.  The image below is my coloring of that mandala.  I used Sharpie markers and Smooch inks.  Smooch inks have amazing glimmer but I did not capture it very well.  Possibly you can see it in the center gold part. Jo has posted her lovely coloring  of my mandalas at  http://stitchability.blogspot.ca/2015/11/this-and-that.html   Check it out.

This is a hyperbolic crochet piece done in 100% wool.  I am wanting to felt it now.  Curiosity gets the better of me sometimes! I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/
