Princess Bubbles Creates

  I am making slow progress on my wonky doll.  Hopefully, she will come together this week.  I want to make sure to get her face right.  The face is everything!  I have had to restart it.  I love it when I get it right the first time, but that has not been the case.  I am not giving up! Even though I have not finished writing and illustrating the book for my grandson, I am imagining this wonky doll being the main character in the book for my granddaughter!  I think she will love it!

  LeeAnna  has asked do you do spring cleaning ? All over or just clear out the yard of debris for example, just do a thorough dust collection, or purging of clothing no longer wanted? Yes, I often do spring cleaning.  Sometimes it happens in the winter or fall though.  I regularly purge the things I no longer want/need.  In the last 1.5 years, I have sold a lot of things on Facebook Marketplace.  It feels good to get a bit of money and move things to a home where they will be used! We usually try to do a big cleaning of the yard in the fall.  It is easier to get up the leaves before they get snowed under.  Of course, there is always a tiny bit to do in the spring. My neighbour's magnolia tree is in bloom!  So beautiful!  Oh, how I love seeing things in flower again!

 I created a mandala on a prismatic window cling.  I have installed it on a north-facing window, so I doubt I will get many rainbows coming through it.  Still, it looks pretty, and I like it.  It is the closest I will come to doing stained glass.  I have always loved stained glass, but have never tried it.  I don't think I am precise enough to do a good job with it.  

  LeeAnna  has asked For National telephone day,  what is your relationship with phones? lol always have it with you? Check it at intervals or use it mainly for calls? Remember when there was one phone for the family hanging on the wall? Remember party lines? Do you use a phone as a computer even tho the screen is so small? Fave apps on the phone? I have my phone with me most of the time.  But I don't use it a lot!  I mostly use it for texting or looking up something.  Neither of those things do I do often.  I use it as a camera.  I rarely use my Nikon any more, which is kind of sad to me. I have downloaded some apps that sounded interesting, but I rarely use them.  I do like to read ebooks when I am waiting.  I prefer using my desktop computer for most things.  I guess I am kind of old school in that regard. I like that we got some glorious sunshine yesterday and I was able to be outside while art making!  I like that today is...

 This is a fairly large art journal page.  I have an old wallpaper sample book that I am using for my journal.  Paint and wallpaper stores give the sample books away for free when the line has been discontinued.  It is a great way to keep something from the landfill! It also helps me to not be too precious with what I create in it.  I made expressive marks and had fun!

 I have been playing around in Kaleidoscope Kreator.  So much fun!  I especially love using photos of my textile work.  I think it might be interesting to print one of these on a clear base and then hang it in a window.  It could possibly look like stained glass.
