Playing in my Fabric Journal

When I started this journal I didn't really have a theme in mind.  A tree theme has quickly developed.  I think it works really well with the animal print fabrics.  This spread has a lot of layers to it already.  I cut a tree stencil and used white spray paint.  That did not give me a good coverage so I added a layer of white chalk pastel and then fixative.  I then added layers of blue with my Caran D'ache Neocolors.  I still need to add some more blue.  I had thought I would add some green at the base of the trees but now I am thinking of leaving it white for a winter scene.

    I do a lot of work with trees...none with animal prints. Now that I've seen your 'playing around', I'll have to find a piece of animal print and play a bit myself. RE: getting coverage: you might try either gesso or white fabric paint...but watch the effect it has on the hand of the fabric, and needling will become an issue, especially with gesso. :-)

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
