Princess Bubbles Creates

It feels like spring today!  We are having such a mild winter and I love that!  In honor of the beautiful sunshine and warm weather am posting this beautiful tulip.

It has been a while since I have had the time to play and experiment.  Well, at least with no expectation of taking it further.  I created this leaf with my Prismacolor pencil crayons on fabric.  I could add beads and/or stitching to it.  Or I could just file it away as an interesting experiment.  Ultimately, I enjoyed doing it and that is enough.

I am working through a weekly journal prompt this year.  The prompt this week was believe in yourself.  This is something I am learning to do more and it feels good.  I used the Wonder Woman power pose on this page to tie in the word power.  Power is my word this year.  I plan to learn more about my power this year!     http://blog.luluart.com.au/2016/01/22/colour-me-positive-week-4/

This is my experiment with the Arrowhead Stitch.  Thanks to Sharon B at  pintangle.com  for the instructions.  I have not done this stitch previously but once I started with it I found it simple to do.  I decided to experiment with it a bit.  I was hoping to get a spirograph type look.  I was somewhat successful.  I think further exploration is required.

This is my bead journal for January.  There is still a lot of stitching to do on it.  I am calling it Ocean Floor.  I am having so much fun with this piece! I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

I started off coloring this design with colored pencils as I often do.  And just as often I find myself changing to markers to finish the coloring.  It is odd to me that it has taken me so long to figure out that I don't really like pencil crayons for coloring!  I still like to use them for adding shading though.  Mind you I did use pastel pencils to add the shading on this one.
