Princess Bubbles Creates

Would you ever guess this is just the humble carnation? I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/09/wonders-of-nature-through-my-lens-nr-61.html

I am feeling ever so blessed this week.  I follow Grumbacher Art Supplies on Facebook.  Every Monday they give away a box of art supplies to five of their followers who comment.  This week I was picked.  The box arrived yesterday!  Talk about fast!  Ink, markers, charcoal pencils, paint and paint brushes were in the box.  So generous!  I look forward to playing with it all. Also, this week I found out I was chosen to be the Artist in Residence with  Kwartzlab  for October through to December.  Pretty exciting!  I plan to put the laser cutter to good use.  Cutting my own stencils and experimenting with sheer fabric are on the agenda. I wonder what good thing is coming next!

My fibre guild met this week.  We decided to work on a two color, 6 inch square challenge for each month this year.  A 6 inch square is not intimidating and yet gives us some room for experimentation.  I was excited to get started.  Going through my bin of bits and pieces I came across a larger piece that I cut down to 6 inches, top photo.  It is a mix of fabric, paper and paint.  I want to do some hand stitching into it.  The bottom photo shows some sheer fabric, a dyed doily and a piece covered in different yarns.  They all fit the challenge and I am considering using them to create a second piece this month.

Where we love is home- our feet may leave, but not our hearts.  Oliver Wendell Holmes.  In truth I am a big time lover of being at home.  My home holds my loved ones and my art supplies.  What else do I need?  My home is a peaceful and safe place.  I had a lot of fun creating this journal page.  Lots of color and shimmer was added by using Smooch inks.

Using an old doily, that I dyed, as the base I created this bead journal for September.  So, not typical of my colors.  I do like the autumn theme though.  I have so much fun with my bead journals.  The ideas just keep coming.

I stitched the Feathered Chain stitch in this funky green thread and added some french knots in blue perle cotton.  I have attached a photo of the green thread and it says Mez Matt-Stickgarn 3.  I found this thread at a thrift store.  I have never seen it before this.  Does anyone know anything about it? Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2016/09/27/tast-stitch-57/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Pintanglecom+%28pintangle.com%29   for the instructions.  It is always good to have an excuse to stitch.

Bam!  There is a blast of color for you!  Thanks for stopping by! I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/09/wonders-of-nature-through-my-lens-nr-61.html
