Princess Bubbles Creates

 I really like the way this mandala has turned out.  I am just pondering if it needs some pops of a light colour in the purple sections.  It feels like those sections need to be broken up.  I could test my idea by printing out this mandala as it is.  Then I could try the idea on the copy.  That seems like a reasonable idea!

 I have added more stitching to this butterfly.  I gave a new stitch a try, thanks to  Queenie . She posts marvellous instructions.   This butterfly is feeling very disjointed and needs something to pull it all together.  I will put on my thinking cap and figure it out.  Art sometimes has to go through an ugly stage before it gets good.  I won't give up on it.

LeeAnna  has asked   what are your fave flowers to grow or put in hanging baskets ? I am not discriminating when it comes to flowers.  They are beautiful in one way or another.  I usually choose my hanging baskets by colour.  It just depends on what I am feeling at the time.  Many years ago, I had a basket of Fuschias.  So gorgeous.  I played with my camera to get an interesting photo of one of the blooms.  At least it is interesting to me.    I had a lovely walk this week with a fairly new friend.  She is very upbeat and positive.  Love that!  We saw an amazing bug, which was a very intense red.  It wasn't a ladybug, but I don't know what it was.  I also saw a little brown mouse.  Walking in nature is so interesting!  I am so glad we were able to squeeze in the walk before the rain.  It has been a very wet week. I had a wonderful art afternoon with friends yesterday.  We are planning to ...

 I have finished stitching the yarns onto my scroll.  I am pleased with the way it looks.  I want to add some beading to this now.  The beading process is ever so relaxing and meditative to me.  I plan to use a package of beads that I have had for a very long time.  The beads are all white but of different shapes and sizes.  I think it will be interesting.

 I love that the camera was able to capture some of the gold metallic colour that I used.  Metallic and glitter can be so tricky for a camera.  I used photo paper to create this mandala, maybe that is what made the difference.

 I haven't counted, but I must have created at least 100 of these flowers.  None of them is the same.  Such fun!  I am always in awe of people's creativity.  Maybe I should take a moment to be in awe of my own creativity! Creativity is one of the great blessings of my life.  I am so grateful that I have the time enjoy making things.   The weather looks a bit iffy this afternoon.  If it cooperates, I will be doing some stitching on my deck in the sunshine!
