Princess Bubbles Creates

 This piece has so much yummy texture.  I am having a lot of fun with it.  The pink circle in the lower left is bothering me.  There is a bit more of that pink in the piece but that bit is trying to steal the show!  I think I need to add a bit more of that colour to keep your eyes moving.   I have used some interesting papers on this piece.  Unfortunately, the pale pink piece in the lower right corner has ripped.  I will need to remove it.  That is the chance you take when using paper.  I thought the mulberry paper would have stood up better.  Oh well, lesson learned.

  I love my watercolour journal full of mandalas.  I finished this one recently.  Perfectly, imperfect just like me!

 I finished the scroll a while ago but haven't posted it.  I had so much fun creating this!  It is kind of a jumble.  Maybe it needs something to pull it all together.  Hmm, I am not sure what would do that.   I kind of like the pieces that go over the edges but maybe not.  They are a bit distracting to me.  That probably isn't enough to pull it all together but it is something.   There are portions of this that I really love.  There is a lot of yummy texture.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

LeeAnna  has asked us where do you do your computer work, or blogging?  For example at the kitchen table like me or on your lap in front of the tv? at an actual desk? Do you use a computer or do it from your phone or ipad?  show us a pic if you can, of your set up for blogging. I have an actual desk and desktop computer.  It is in my studio/office, which is my favourite room in our house. It was my favourite room even before it was my studio.  It has south and west-facing windows so there is a lot of sunshine throughout the day.   My desk is pretty much always covered in stuff.  Right now, there is a Tiffany gift bag sitting on it.  We went to the landmark Tiffany's store when we were in NYC.  So fun!  I love looking at the bag as well as the bracelet we bought.  I wear it all the time. I like warm weather!  Today it is supposed to get up to 25!  Soaking in the sunshine while sitting on my deck is a big pleasure....

 This is the other end of the shawl that I am working on for the upcycling project.  The challenge is to make a garment.  Now, I am no garment maker!  A shawl is about as complicated as I can manage and even at that, I am concerned about having to sew straight seams! I hope that the way I am manipulating the fabrics is found to be interesting.  I am rather pleased with the way I have used the fabrics.  There is still loads more stitching to do.  I am enjoying this project so much!

LeeAnna  has asked did you get easter baskets as a child? Please describe them, what was in them, did you get them in the morning? After church? Did you make them for your kids  your mate or decorations ? I made Easter buckets for our sons. We did not have much money when the kids were little. Not that baskets were expensive but I saved the plastic buckets that dishwasher soap came in.  I painted them and made them look festive.  We used the buckets for years.  I put a bit of candy and some dollar store toys in them.  Staying at home with our kids is one of the best things I have ever done in this life and I don't regret the lack of money. One year, I created giant papier mache eggs using balloons as the base.  That was fun and they lasted for a few years.  I don't decorate for Easter any longer. I like it when my niece comes for an art day.  We have so much fun together.  She was here last weekend and we laughed so hard my stomach hurt....
