Princess Bubbles Creates

This was a fun project to do.  I had never painted a window!  I hope I get to do it again sometime!  I must go for a walk in Uptown Waterloo to see the other windows that were painted.  I am curious what the other artists did.   

 Working on another page for my book.  I am quite pleased with the drawing of my bear.  She is just what I want.  She is just on tracing paper for the moment.  I plan to create her in fabric and paint.  My other animals have been made of felt and that worked well as they were simple silhouettes.  This bear has more detail and I feel it is important that she not look the least bit scary.  To achieve that I will have to use paint. I really like her placement in the top photo but she is a bit large and doesn't look quite right.  I don't think I can make her much smaller and still get the detail I like.  Her size seems right where she is placed in the bottom photo.  But for the story I wanted her to seem far away.  What to do!

 I am finding that I need a break from working on my book but still need to be creative.  I have the program Kaleidoscope Kreator and I am really enjoying using it as a little distraction.  I have been playing around with some photos of my stitching.  So much fun!

 I have figured out a way to use this piece in my book.  I have added some 'fireflies' to it.  At least the impression of fireflies.  I was hoping that they would seem to glow.  Possibly if I darken the fabric around them I could achieve that effect better.  I am not afraid to add paint to this piece as there is already a lot of paint on it.  I think Inktense blocks will work.

 I am making progress on my book and it feels so good.  I made a mixed media dragonfly and it needed a home.  I wasn't totally sure what I was going to do for that when I remember a piece I had created a while back.  My piece was made completely of silk with my own hand-dyed silk.  I used silk batting and silk thread.  It is as light as a whisper.  I called this piece Monet Visits Ontario.  It works perfectly for the dragonfly.  I have not stitched the dragonfly to it and won't.  Yay!  Another page done!

  I have struggled with this piece long enough.  I have added a bit of beading and I am now calling it finished.  Once I realized it was not going to work for my book I kind of lost interest in it.  In the process of making my book, I have revisited pieces from the past and that has taught me that every piece is worthwhile.  Who knows!  This piece could be resurrected in the future.  But for now, I need to stay concentrated on my book.   I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/
