Princess Bubbles Creates

I love getting fun things in the mail!  Part one of my prizes came.  Take a look at all the cool goodies!  I can't wait to play with them!  I'm looking forward to receiving the book from C&T Publishing.

We laughed, we played, we had fun!  It is so good to get together with like minded artists.  I am truly blessed to have such a good group of friends with which to play! Mary Lynn brought bubbles.  We printed them on paper and it looks great.  Nancy got out the workable fixative and chalk pastels to experiment with them.  It was pretty stinky and I would recommend doing that technique outside.  Still it was fun and I will try this again when I can be outside.

Hi All My sister is here visiting so I just don't have time to keep up with my blog this week.  Hopefully, I'll be back at it next week! Have a sparkly day!

This is the journal page that I entered into the challenge at Fibre Art Mixed Media ning for March.  The challenge was to use found objects in a piece and upload a photo of it to the Flickr group.  The found objects could come from your stash which was cool.  I had been cleaning out my studio (always an on going process) and found all these hearts so I added them to the journal page.  The drawing was a random draw.  Clearly I would not have won for a great journal page!  I will look forward to receiving my prize in the mail!  Fun!

Last week Sharon B. http://www.pintangle.com/journal/2010/3/23/tast-2010-week-4-portuguese-border-stitch.html showed the Portuguese Border stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday.  I really liked the stitch and started experimenting with it right away but haven't had a chance to post about it until now.  I stitched on paper as I found a really cool tool that would poke the holes into the paper evenly for me.

So, I finished the book with the painted lace.  Here it is.  I don't know if you can see the rolled paper and fabric beads that I created but I think they make a good addition to the spine.

I like the way this book turned out.  I think it is rather pretty.  It's kind of hard to believe the cover started out life as a humble paper towel!
