Work in Progress Wednesday

Image
I have been experimenting with chalk pastels on fabric.  I love the way they blend.  A spray fixative sets them and then adding stitch isn't messy.  I have no idea if this is permanent after washing.  I don't care, as I don't plan to wash my art.

April Bead Journal so far

Image
I am making good progress on my bead journal for April.  It is getting pretty close to finished.  The turquoise beetle bead in the upper left corner was given to me from a treasured friend.  She travels the world and always brings me back a little something.  I try to honor her thoughtfulness by using said gifts.

Journal Page

Wow!  I am kind of proud of myself for sticking with this journal prompt  facebook group.  Maybe because it is just once a week .  I don't know but I am enjoying it.  I colored the clip art butterfly and added the words -  my path is filled with happiness.  I realize it is pretty tough to read in the photo.

Work in Progress Wednesday

I created a bountiful, bevy of butterflies.  I have a clever idea for an altered book and will be incorporating these butterflies into it.  I need to add some stitching to the felt/sheer fabric butterflies.  The butterflies cut from decorated papers might need a little something added to them but most will be fine as they are.  I am having a lot of fun with this.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
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.

Little textile landscapes

Image
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.
