Princess Bubbles Creates

Laughter is an instant vacation.  Great quote.  We can always use some laughter in our lives.  I have read that it is like inner aerobics.  I had fun creating the mandala on this page.  Mind you it was a bit difficult to get nice lines as the page is very textured.  I glued a layer of dyed paper towel to it first. On another art journal note, tomorrow I am going to be teaching art journals at a local community center for six weeks.  This should be really interesting.  I really hope that the participants find it helpful!

I have installed some of my art at Kwartzlab.  As the artist in residence there that is one of my responsibilities.  I think my art makes a pretty decent display.  Being the artist in residence allows me to use the really cool tools there.  I am excited for the laser cutter to be fixed so that I can start using it!  I think there is a lot of potential for laser cutting with fibre art.

Still loving the fall, especially the leaves!  There are still a lot of leaves on the trees in this area.  I am very grateful for the color lasting so long this year. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/10/halloween-fun-facts.html

I finally got this bead journal finished.  I am okay with the way it turned out but for some reason I did not love making this one.  I think it was because I was filling in spaces.  There was a lack of freedom for me. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

The quote for this week is rather long.  "Don't just chase your dreams. Stalk them. Hide in the bushes. Follow them around town. If your dreams aren't seriously considering a restraining order against you, get busy." I shortened it to 'dream big juicey dreams, chase them down.'    I had fun adding nice bright colors to the page. My journal pages are quite simple.  I often like the looks of journals pages that are created with a lot of layers but I find my time is limited for journal pages.

Yesterday my fibre guild met for our monthly meeting.  It was so good to get together with like minded artists.  The lower photo is  my six inch experimental piece I brought for our year long challenge.  You can see what the other guild members brought on our facebook page here  https://www.facebook.com/grandguildoffibreartists/    Orange purple were our challenge colors for October. For November our colors are green and yellow.  The top photo shows what I have so far.  I have been going through my stash of experiments to pull together my pieces.  It feels good to use up bits and pieces.

I also heart color and the abstract quality of this photo.  My macro lens is so fabulous. I am linking with https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca/2016/10/behind-corner-through-my-lens-nr-65.html http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/
