Princess Bubbles Creates

It feels good to be stitching with  Sharon B  again.  Life has been busy this summer!  This is my first attempt at  Zig Zag Coral  stitch.  I probably should have practiced first but it seemed the perfect stitch for adding beads!

This small quilt had its origin in a workshop.  Rarely, do I choose to finish a quilt started in a workshop.  I don't like leaving things undone but I have given myself permission to do so with workshop pieces.  However, I think this one has potential and I am enjoying the challenge of making it right.  I am going to consider it my bead journal for this month.  The waterfall is going to come to life with sparkly beads!  Fun!

This week Nina challenges us to use only a credit card and our fingers to create our page.  You can see the video  here .  I invited a friend over to get messy with me.  We had a lovely afternoon together and this is the page I created.  I used found poetry again.  It says,  'Beauty: Opening our eye to where creativity dwells a reassuring ritual comfortable and relaxed' I haven't played with my acrylic paints much lately.  It felt really good to get them out and have a messy play!

Another quilt finished.  This quilt is all silk, including the batting and thread.  What a delight to stitch it!  I painted and printed the silk and hand quilted it.   I am thinking of titling it "Monet Visits Ontario".

I honestly never tire of being published.  It is such a thrill to me that other people like my work.  I have an article about my process of creating beaded trees.   Pop over and pick up a copy.   http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1310397

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.  Thorton Wilder I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca
