Princess Bubbles Creates

The Triangular Buttonhole stitch is not one that I use much.  Trying it here on handmade paper it worked alright.  Working it in a circle form I am not so sure about that.  Thanks to  Sharon B  for the instructions.

I have been creating some small landscapes.  Postcard size actually.  I am planning to submit the idea as a workshop to the Maker's Fair.  The idea has to work for all ages so I figured it is best to keep it fairly simple and no sewing.  It could be fun.

I like this quote.  Once you choose hope anything can happen.  I believe choosing hope is a choice.  I copied this from the  Colour Me Positive  blog. Hope is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: “expect with confidence” and “to cherish a desire with anticipation”.

When I started this piece I pictured it being mounted on a black background.  However that is not what I will be doing with it.  I don't overly love the way it turned out but I don't hate it.  I put too much work into to not do something with it so I came up with the idea of using it as an altered book cover.  I think it could be a really interesting cover.  Now I have to find the right book for it.

Sharon B  shows us the Linked Chain stitch this week.  I know I have done it before but it felt like the first time.  Pretty sure I haven't used it since the last time Sharon showed us how to do it.  That happens a lot actually.  If I don't really love the stitch it gets forgotten about.  Sometimes that happens with the stitches that I really like too!

There is so much beauty in this world.  It is such a delight to seek it out with my camera. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ http://anenglishgirlrambles2016.blogspot.ca/ http://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/04/lunchtime-in-blagaj-through-my-lens-nr-36.html

Oh my gosh I had fun creating this pop up page in my altered book.  My funky little flowers have been felted, stitched, burned and more.  Truly a mixed media page. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/
