Princess Bubbles Creates

 Glitter doesn't photograph all that well.  Or at least I haven't mastered it.  Therefore I didn't use any in creating my mandala for my Meditation Circuit.  Being deprived of playing with glitter on that project I have felt a strong need to play with it on others.  This mandala is loaded with the stuff!  Fun!

 Another floofy scroll book page is finished.  I tried the double-whipped running stitch on this.   Queeniepatch  gave great instructions for it.  Mine would have been more successful if I had used similar weight threads.  Okay, lesson learned.  These floofy pages are just for fun so I will not worry about it.   I am not sure if I will get much stitching done today.  My art journals and paint have been captivating my attention lately.  I go where the muse takes me!

 I like flowers and I like photographing flowers.  I saw this gorgeous hibiscus on a walk last week.  Stunning!  Is there anyone who doesn't like flowers?  I guess it is possible.  Someone once told me they don't like sunshine!  I can't imagine that.  We are all different. I like connecting.  Although I find it a tad difficult.  I put myself out there in hopes of making meaningful connections.  I went to an artist meet-up last week.  I had to force myself to be brave and talk to strangers.  Not my idea of a good time.  Still, I am glad that I went.  New ideas have begun floating in my head in regard to my photography because of that gathering Lee Anna  and the gang are discussing favorite herbs/spices Your most used spices or herbs... what do you seem to use over and over? I love cilantro.  It seems that it is one of those flavours that people love or hate.  Both my husband and I love it so that works!  I also enjoy hot pepper flakes but must use them judicially as hubby mi

 I have sewn together another scroll.  These are all fabrics that I have done surface design on.  Painting, marbling, stencilling and foiling just to name a few.  It is fun to experiment with surface design.  Not all experiments are wonderful but I don't like to waste anything.  Cutting the fabric into smaller sample pieces and stitching it into a scroll feels like a good use.   Now I must figure out if I want to go further with this scroll.  There are a lot of options.  There is no rush.  I do not have an end purpose in mind.  As always, I will patiently wait for the next step.

  This is a mandala I created for my Mandala Meditation Circuit.  I wish I would have painted the background more evenly.  I don't love that part but will have to live with it.  I don't want to try to fix it and take the chance of making it worse.  It really isn't horrible.  I love everything else about it and hope that everyone can focus on the mandala itself.  

 I have been working on this piece for years.  It sits patiently waiting for me to accumulate needles with short amounts of thread.  I don't want to waste those threads so I stitch them onto this piece.  I love having that sort of project on the go.  This one is inching closer to being finished.  I am not eager to get it done.  I don't have an idea for the next one of these yet.  Not to worry, there is still lots of room for stitching, well some room for stitching.  Plus, the ideas always come eventually. I commented to someone the other day that I think creativity is my superpower.   I don't think that makes me unique, just versatile.  I think everyone is creative on some level and in varying ways.
