Art enable us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time, Thomas Merton. So true. I enjoy adding quotes to my journal pages. I am, however extremely frustrated trying to find a white pen/marker that works properly.
I don't know if there is a really good one. I have a white gel ink that works pretty well, but it's tricky because when the ink is wet, you don't really see it, so it's hard to tell what you've written on the fabric sometimes - or drawn. It does dry pretty fast, though. At first I thought it wasn't working and then it started to dry.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog! It means so much to me and I truly appreciate it! Whenever possible I reply to comments. warm regards Angela Princess Bubbles
Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads. I was thinking it is finished. I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me. I am not loving this piece at the moment. I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.
I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late. This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again. I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture. I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste. Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like. Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

Here are some more bright and cheerful flowers. These flowers are such a fun playground for me. I can think of numerous ways I want to use them. It is a good thing I have a plethora of scraps for making them. The possibilities are truly endless! It looks like it is going to be a lovely day. I am imagining enjoying some stitching outside this afternoon. The weather looks perfect for it. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
In this case, wouldn't a black (or dark) ink be better? The background is just beautiful.
