alcohol inks play day


It is so cool to have friends to share art together.  Today we got together to play with alcohol inks.  Pictured above are from left to right Mary Lynn, Lois and Nancy.  Nancy hosted our play day.  She is amazing!  She went shopping at Vincenzo's for us.  She bought all kinds of yummy treats!  She also had a little gift at each place setting when we got there!  She was over the top good to us.


I said I wasn't going to post about this but  I might as well humiliate myself.  As we were getting ready to leave when I knocked over my chair which knocked over a plant and broke the planter!  Yikes!!!  What a spazzz!  Nancy was so kind and gracious about it all.  Lois laughed and laughed - she was so relieved that she hadn't done it! 

Nancy did the piece below on photo paper.  We had read that aren't supposed to use photo paper but thought why not try it any way.  I think it worked great.

The piece at the very bottom Mary Lynn did on a transparency sheet.  I think it's gorgeous.

I wonder what everyone is going to do with their gorgeous pieces.  I'll let you know if I find out!

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
