Princess Bubbles Creates

The book study is coming to a close.  There is only one more study to do actually.  For this lesson we were to create a journal page that tells a story without words.  I'm not sure that this tells much of a story but here it is. 

I had a lot of fun making this journal page.  I did a lot of needle felting and some beading.  You really must click on the picture to see the details better.  I enjoyed the needle felting and will likely do more of it.  The beading is minimal but it seems right for this page. This also works for my Artist Journals and Sketchbooks study.  The lesson was to journal on something other than a journal.  Think outside of the box. I love two for one.

I am happy with the way these elements turned out.  Studying the Artist Journals and Sketchbooks has been good.  I have to say that the attachments mostly concentrated on eyelets.  I think there are a lot more ways to attach things.  I should do some experimenting and post what I find.

When I don't have time to make art I love shopping for art supplies.  A Curry's Art Supply store opened in town last month.  I finally got there today.  It is so nice to finally have a good art store in town.  I bought some interference blue ink, but I will have to go back for all the colors!

  If you have read my blog for very long you know that  I love pop ups.  I can't help myself, I'm just a big kid at heart.  I always look for ways to add fun to my art.

I love my life!  I spent the afternoon playing with silk.  Does it get any better than that?   I think not!  These are a few of the silk pieces that I painted.  I think they are absolutely yummy.  I'm not sure what I will do with them just yet but who cares.  I created something beautiful and I am happy about it.

Hey crazy quilt friends, I have a question for you.  I have bought some fabric and have way too much of the dupioni silk pictured above.  Each grouping has five colors.  Each color measures 21 inches by 22 inches.  That's slightly bigger than a traditional quilter's fat quarter.  Is twenty dollars a fair price to ask for one set of five pieces?
