Princess Bubbles Creates

I bought some tempera paint pucks  a few months ago and I really like using them in my journals.  The colors blend and mix so nicely.  They dry quickly and the colors are very vibrant.  Pretty great  and they are cheap too! I also used a hand carved stamp on this page.  Since I have done some rearranging in my studio I have better access to my stamps.  I really would like to start using them more now that they are easier to get at.

Paper is fun to make.  Definitely messy though.  The two sheets on the left have small bits of fabric included in the paper.  I love this idea.   It definitely increases the potential of what you can do with it. 

This string paper I made using an embroidery hoop as the frame.  I will definitely have to make more of this!  There is a lot of potential to play with this stuff!

This is the coolest stuff!  I can't wait to play with it.  I think I will try stitching with some of this string paper. It was simple to make.  You wrap string, fibre, thread etc. around a picture frame without the glass.  You then dip your frame into the pulp.  The pulp sticks to the strings.  When it is dry you cut it off of the frame. 

   I noticed that facial cleansing pads are made from 100% cotton.  I love to experiment so I wondered if they  would needle felt.  I dyed one with some ink and then needle felted it to some white felt.  It worked really well.  The top picture is the view from the top of the felt.  The bottom picture is the view from the bottom of the felt.    Both work depending on what you want.  

I adore color.  This vibrant color just makes me happy.  I can't wait to stitch into these!  Maybe I will import these pictures into Kaleidoscope Kreator too.  That could be interesting.

Printing on a gelatin plate is rather fun.  The feel of it is so great!  I spent three blissful hours print making yesterday at Sandra Spagnuolo's workshop.  Fun stuff!  Pictured above are some prints I made.   They are a good start for something.  They aren't really wonderful on their own.  I guess I can cut them up or stitch into them or....
