Princess Bubbles Creates

The center green part of this flower looks like a cozy welcoming bed to me.  I just want to lay down and rest on it!  Love these colors, they are so vibrant and cheerful to me. I am linking with http://anenglishgirlrambles.blogspot.ca/ http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

We have had so many wonderful art bras donated this year!  It will be exciting to see the show installed next week.  Here is a little sneak peak of the art bra my friend Nancy Townes created. SHE SELLS SEA SHELLS BY THE SEASHORE The sea is ever changing. When the sunlight dances off the waves and creates rainbows in its spray, it is a joy and a delight to walk peacefully along a sandy shore. But seasons change, and shorelines change and the gentle waves can turn into a challenge for those caught too far off shore. Some will lose their battle against the waves. So it is with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Just when life seemed simple and manageable, a challenge is set before us. We struggle to survive. We hope and pray that with the support and strength of family and friends, we can make it back to shore safely and stronger than we were before our ordeal. Back to a calm and peaceful and joyous life. Also, pretty cool is that I will be on Rogers Daytime on Wednesday Oct. 2...

I used a coloring page as the base for this bead journal.  I am totally at a loss as to why I used a commercial image and not one of my own designs.  I do like the way it turned out though.  I went with a mixed media approach  using beads, metallic threads and micro beads adhered by gel medium.  I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

This time I printed my design larger.  I lost some of the design but I don't really mind that.  I had a lot of fun coloring with permanent markers and Caran D'ache watercolor crayons.  I am glad to share this design with you and hope that you enjoy coloring it.

I added more beads and more silk ribbon embroidery to this piece.  Possibly more could be done to this block but I need to move along.  I haven't started my October block yet and I really hate running behind.  I can always revisit this block should I choose to.

My frozen flower has turned out kind of neat!  I saw instructions for this a while ago and froze this flower back in the summer.  It took me a while to get around to photographing it.  So glad that I finally did it.   I am going for a walk this afternoon and hope to find some beautiful leaves and will try it with one!

I don't use a lot of white in my work so this fabric just had to have color added to it.  The photo is not doing justice to how lovely it looks with the inks added.  I adore adding color and getting inky.  So fun!  I am hoping to use this fabric for a base.  My idea is to add ribbon, sheers and beads to create a waterfall.  Hopefully it works out as well as I imagine it!  I think I have a good start.
