I enjoy looking at things from a different angles.   It is helpful to change our perspective in life and photography.  Seeing new things is always good!

Almost finished

This is my crazy quilt block for June.  Yikes!  I better get moving!  I was thinking it was my July block but I guess I lost a month somehow.  I can't be too hard on myself though.  I have a son getting married tomorrow so there has been a lot of preparations for that.  Once we have finished celebrating I will add some more stitching to the needle felted area.  Hopefully it will looked finished to me at that point.

Work in Progress Wednesday

Image
I am not sure how the week flew past.  It took me that long to get to the last module of in the first workshop.  I am not overly excited with the the lace medallion but the other pieces I like.  These laces were painted with acrylic paints that were diluted with rubbing alcohol.  Something I have never tried previously.

Looks like a flower to me

I suppose this should be posted in the fall as that is when ornamental cabbage 'bloom'.  But it is so pretty and I had kind of forgotten about it so here it is in July I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/   http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/

Some Experimentation

Image
I love leaves.  I have said that numerous times on this blog.  Here I have made a print of leaves from the tree in my backyard.  I have been experimenting with this printmaking process and would like to develop it into an article for a magazine.  Someone who does true nature printing would not be satisfied with the results.  I, however love the soft, impressionistic quality to it.  I think with added stitching it could turn into something spectacular!

Work in Progress Wednesday

Not particularly spectacular results.  Maybe not even interesting but the landscape pieces have potential and could be improved upon with stitching.  Considering how much experience with paint I have, you would assume I could have produced something better.  I tried to enjoy the process but in reality I have done these exercises many times and not terribly excited to do them again.  There is still one section left to do of this module of the dyeing workshop.  Possibly I will find time to do it today or tomorrow.

This poppy is for my sister.  She had to be away from her beloved garden and has missed most of the poppies blooming there.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/
