Princess Bubbles Creates

It has been a couple of weeks since I could participate in sharing my macro flower shots.  I think the carnation is much more interesting in macro! I am linking with http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

I started this piece a while back.  I thought I had finished it but I was not completely satisfied with it. It is very heavily textured and I quite like that.  I think it could even use a bit more!  I have some interesting yarn that I think I will couch down.   It is kind of fun to take a piece and make it better!

I hope you enjoy coloring these as much as I do.  It is a very meditative process.  This one I printed onto photo paper and colored with Sharpie markers.  They look very vibrant on the photo paper.

I made a little progress on this piece.  I have added some metallic surface treatment.  It is not showing up in this photo.  Metallic is so elusive to capture with the camera!  I think I want to do some more surface design on this before I start beading and embroidering it.

This is my Whipped Wheel Stitch.  I love this stitch.  I don't know why I don't think to use it more often.  This one done on handmade paper is having some tension issues.  It was fine until I got to the end of my thread.  I will have to fiddle with it a bit more to get it just right.  I had thought about adding another color to it but wasn't quite sure I how I would do that.  I will ponder that and hopefully come up with a solution as I think it would look a lot better.    Thanks to Sharon B at  Pintangle  for the instructions.

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Click on the top image and print it out, color it and then show me what you have done!  I really would love to see how you color this!  I used water media to color mine this week.  I went with the colors of fall. My coloring from the first week I attached to an art journal page.  The colors match way better in real life.  I like covering over the writing I do in my journals.  I don't have deep, dark secrets to hide, I am really quite shallow!  I like the writing to add visual interest and it isn't there for anyone to read.
