Princess Bubbles Creates

Here is my  Linked Double Chain .  I really thought that I had done this stitch previously.  Funny how the memory works or doesn't.  I am glad that I always post a comment on  Sharon B's  blog when I do try a stitch.  It helps to keep a trail/reminder.  As usual, my stitches are loose and open.  I admire those whose stitches are ever so neat and tidy but I am learning to not be critical of myself for not stitching in that way.  My relaxed fun loving nature is coming through in my stitches.

It has been a while since I have posted one of my photos from the wrecking yard.  This one reminds me of a landscape. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca

It feels good to call this piece finished.  I started by painting silk.  I cut holes in it and beaded around the holes.  It is machine quilted.  I added beads on the edge to finish it off.  There is nothing like deadlines for getting things finished!

You are never too old to learn something new.  Again, not a particularly inspiring quote to work with this week.  However, I do try to keep learning new things.  It is very good for the brain.  I made a color copy of a fabric experiment and then printed the quote on it.  

I am a curious artist.  Exploring and experimenting are a big part of what I do.   I have a plastic storage bin where I put the experiments.  Lately, I have been trying to use up the pieces in that storage bin.   I combined the needle felted spiral with the sari strip/transfer foil background.  I think they look interesting together.  I have a number of other pieces of a similar size that will be combined with this one to form an accordion book.

My  Woven Trellis Stitch  is a bit wonky.    The one on the right looks more like a flower than the one on the left.  It is not the end of the world and I can live with the imperfection.  I am so glad that I had the time to participate in  Sharon B's  Take a Stitch Tuesday this week!

Last week a friend commented that I am the master of macro abstracts.  Wow!  That meant so much to me!  It was the word master that got me.  The quote 'jack of all trades, master of none' can be heard in my head when my inner critic is running amuck.  I know in art we are told to focus and become really good at one thing.  Why?  Why can't we be really good at more than one thing?
