Playing with paper and color

Image
This was simply just play.  I love watching colors run and blend together.  I used fluid watercolors on Japanese paper.  I drew the feathered heart design with white glue first.  I may adhere this to fusible interfacing and add some stitching.  I may not.  I so enjoyed the process of doing this that it doesn't have to become anything else.

Coloring page

Here is my coloring page for the week.  I was going for a snowflake with this one.  I used a silver Sharpie marker and managed to capture the shine!  Not easy to do.  Have fun coloring this design!

My bead journal for November is finished.  I particularly like the beaded chain stitch that I did with the blue beads.  I can see room for improvement with this piece.  I think adding some more stitches done in a metallic embroidery thread could add some interesting texture.  At this point I don't have time so will just call it finished for now.

I used my Prismacolor pencil crayons and few markers to color this image.  I tried to focus on blending and think I did alright.  Please feel free to print this image and color it.

Very close to the end of November but this is my start on my CQ block for the month.  I think I have a shot at getting finished as I don't have much on plate at the moment.  I am ready for some quiet stitching time!  These are definitely not my typical colors.  I do like the look of this though.  I have added the  Whipped Double Chain that Sharon B. at  http://pintangle.com/  showed.  I decided to add a bead to the whipped part.  Beads are always good!

Take a Stitch Tuesday

I have been too busy to be able to participate in Take a Stitch Tuesday with Sharon B at  pintangle.com    for a while.  It felt good to do the the Butterfly Chain Stitch today.  I think it worked rather well stitching onto the handmade paper.  The paper is in fact pink with silver fleck but the camera didn't capture that properly.

Flowers are absolutely fascinating to me.  I wish I had a lens that would take microscopic images! I am linking with http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.ca/2015/11/todays-flowers-373-november-20th-2015.html http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/
