Princess Bubbles Creates

This is a project I started quite a while ago.  I finally have all the hand quilting done on it.  I started with an image of Queen Anne's lace and brought it into my Kaleidoscope Kreator program.  I used the program to work its magic and then printed it on silk.  I did some beading and now it ready to be mounted onto a canvas.  At least that is what I am thinking I will do with it.

I am delighted that Sharon at  http://pintangle.com/  has posted a new stitch.  I am an eager learner!  This week the stitch is Linked Chain stitch.  I liked it so well I did it in three different places on a couple of crazy quilts.  I am excited to do the Beaded Chain stitch next week.  I think I will do it on my bead journal project for February.

This piece of cloth has been gelli printed.  Then I painted on the hearts and swirls.  I used a gold metallic paint and a red metallic Derwent pencil crayon.  Eventually I will stitch into this but I think it needs another layer of something first.  I haven't decided what that will be just yet.  I am debating on using a light spray of paint or possiblly some paper.  We will see.

Experimenting is truly one of my favorite things to do!  Pictured above are three pieces I created this week.  I really want to stitch into one of these pieces.  I think that could be really cool.  I also want to cut up a piece and use it for collage. Basic instructions can be found here    http://www.red-castle.com/tutorials/ace-peel/acetate.htm I haven't been able to find Future floor polish around here.  I used matte medium and Diamond Glaze.  I am excited to think of the different ways I can use these pieces.

Here is my January crazy quilt block so far.  It is progressing pretty well.  Actually there isn't that much left to do.  I have found that if I plan a couple of seam treatments each day I can sit down after dinner and do them fairly quickly and easily.

Pictured above are four piece of fabric that I embellished with paper napkins.  The piece second from the right has plain tissue paper.  When I work with paper napkins I only use the top printed layer.  You have to remove the other layers of plain tissue from the napkins.  All have been applied to fabric that has been been painted by me.  The piece on the far left also has transfer foil applied to the fabric.  It is adhered to the fabric with fusible web.  I ironed the paper napkin directly to the foil.  I guess the foil is fine/thin enough that it allows the fusible web to come through it.  The piece second from the left has some netting adhered to the fabric and then the paper napkin on top of that.  I  used matte medium or thinned down white glue to adhere it all together. The cloth with the matt medium is now a bit stiff.  I don't mind that.  None of these pieces will be used for clothing or quilts.  I am assu...

Okay, this is it.  I am calling this done.  I am excited to move on to the next piece.  I also have to get my January block finished for the crazy quilt project.
