Princess Bubbles Creates

Last week I had the pleasure of getting together with some friends and exploring our gelli printing plates.  I did four prints onto fabric.  Love it!  I used acrylic paint for printing on the fabric.  It worked great.  I can't wait to do some stitching into these.

This is just a reminder of the classes I will be teaching in January.   We will focus on creating an interesting journal cover in each class.  For those that are interested in fibre/stitching these will be interesting surfaces that you can explore stitching into.  For those that are not into fibre/stitching the surfaces we create will not require anything more to be done to them.  I will be teaching some fun book arts workshops.  All the books will have interesting covers with some cool insides.  The binding methods will vary but none of them will be overly difficult or complicated. In February I will be teaching needle felting as I had a few requests for this.  We will be working with a lot of interesting materials.  You will find out why you need to shop in the fly tying section of sporting stores!  Silks and sheers, roving...

I have to say that I really like seeing all of these together.  It is a nice body of work and it feels good to have completed it.

Last January when I started the crazy quilt project I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do.  That month I made a round piece.  In February I made a heart piece and decided that I would stick with that shape for the rest of the year.  I needed to create one more heart so that I would have an even number.  I won't use the round piece in the quilt.  It will have to find a home some where else.

December really zipped past!  It feels good to be back to a regular routine, if my life could be considered regular!  I had this bead piece done in December but just didn't find the time to post about it.  I think it would be cool to do a post showing all 12 bead journal pieces together.  I will have to do some digging in my photo archives and I hope to do that later this week.  It certainly feels good to have stayed on track with this project.  I haven't signed up to participate this year.  I need a bit of a break from it.

I thought this was finished but now that I have taken a photo of it I am thinking otherwise.  It needs some beads so will add them when I get a chance.  It might be a while as there are deadlines looming for other things.

We finally got a blanket of snow here.  A bit late for a white Christmas, oh well.  I created a colorful paper snow storm for our Christmas.  I love cutting snowflakes!
