Princess Bubbles Creates

 Puppy progress has been made.  I have been avoiding the face other than the eye.  Getting the face right is important and I haven't decided how to do it.  I am not certain that I want it to be done in beads but then what else?  If embroidery stitches, what threat?  What stitch?  I can picture exactly how I want to do the ear so that will be next.  I find it best to work the things that I know for certain.  The step always presents itself.

 I have added a bit of beading to this one.  I could almost call it done at this point.  Usually, I like to add more beading so this doesn't quite feel enough.  I do love the acrylic skin I created.  It was easy to stitch down as I left openings for that.  Mind you, acrylic skin would not be difficult to pierce with a needle.   I will continue to ponder adding more beads or not.

  This is the start of another journal page about one of my dogs.  We definitely have a flower theme happening.  That makes me think of my sweet Trinity girl.  She has been the only female dog we have had.  She was definitely not your average golden retriever.  She was quite the character and loved to tear up my garden.  Her digging only ever hastened the inevitable destruction. I am not much of a gardener but do love flowers.  I will have to be satisfied with my stitched gardens. I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/  

 I seem to be jumping about with my stitching projects.  The dog theme is pretty obvious with this one.  I plan to add it to my dog themed journal.  It represents our dog which was a cocker spaniel.  Oh, how I loved him.  This is just the outline and I plan to fill it in with stitching and beads.  I don't know if that will capture his fluffiness or not.  We will see, maybe I won't try too hard for that.

 This piece started life as a sweater.  I purchased it at a thrift store already shrunk and felted.  I felted it further and then needle felted in some loose flowers.  I am now adding some stitches to it.  So far just some silk ribbon French knots.  The wool is quite lovely to stitch into but I do have to be aware of the gaps that were formed when it was knit.   I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/ https://www.create-with-joy.com/2021/03/friendship-friday-blog-hop-475.html http://www.aquariannart.com/2021/03/manicure-black-and-gold-nail-stickers.html

 I have a lovely collection of beaded fabrics.  Mostly the fabric came from saris I collected from thrift stores.  Sometimes they seem too precious to cut up but what else am I going to do with them!  I decided to piece some together to make a cover for a box/book.  Love it!  Beads make me happy.  I totally enjoy stitching beads but I don't have to be the one who stitches them to enjoy them.  Now that the cover is finished I need to continue working on the pages inside.  The pages are made from interesting papers I have created over the years.  They need to be bound together in some way.  Pondering that.

 My macro flower photos give me a lot of joy.   A number of them have been published in  Flora Fiction  an online magazine.  Check out this lovely magazine and consider submitting! I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/ http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/
