Princess Bubbles Creates

My friend Nancy created these gorgeous bras!  They are absolutely fantastic.  They were met with many favorable comments when hung for the show Her Cup Runneth Over. This is what Nancy has to say about the bras. What is Black and White and Red all Over? This ART BRA was designed to honour the fantasies of women. Like something out of a dance hall or saloon, this bra cries out, “Sexy”. Created with black lace, black ruffles, black feathers, and red ribbon that is reminiscent of garters. Black, white and red beads add whimsy to the bra. Simple white flowers add a touch of “lovely lady” to the creation. BIP - Breast in Peace These 2 black wreaths are a tribute to all the women who have undergone surgery for a mastectomy in their fight against breast cancer. It is made of all things I consider feminine: black satin roses, pearls, sparkly beads, and black feathers. An ART BRA to honour to the mystique and strength of women.

This is the second art bra I created for the upcoming show Her Cup Runneth Over.   https://www.facebook.com/hercuprunnethover?ref=bookmarks I called this bra Treasure Chest.   This art bra was inspired by the title as I came up with that first.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love sparkle and fun so I figured bring on the bling.  The process of going through my stash of fancy fabric and brilliant baubles gave me a lot of pleasure.  This creation is a labor of love and I hope it brings joy to the beholder.

You can find the instructions for Fern stitch from Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2014/10/14/take-a-stitch-tuesday-134-fern-stitch/  This is a simple stitch but it looks good!  I found it quite easy to learn and I look forward to using it more.  My first attempt is in the top photo.   My second attempt is the lower photo.  I added some French knots but need to add some more.

I have been playing some more with my idea of photographing things behind glass.  I am quite pleased with it! I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

I am super excited that this show is going to be installed next week!

This the start of my bead journal project for October.  I am making a point of learning new bead embroidery stitches each month.  I am having so much fun with this.  My mind is spinning with new ideas. I am linking with http://pintangle.com/ and http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2014/10/07/take-a-stitch-tuesday-133-triple-chain/  teaches us the Triple Chain stitch this week.  What a cool stitch!  It looks fairly complicated but it is not.  The fabric I stitched into was a bit thick and therefore a little unpleasant.  I found myself getting a little impatient with it.  Never a good thing.  I definitely want to try this again. It might look really good with a couple of colors of thread.
