Journal Week #40

Image
The prompt this week is collage.  I created the tree with fabric scraps.  I love the way it turned out.  The sky is painted mulberry paper.  The ground is actually green but looks brown in this photo.  It is made from paper that I dyed.  The quote says 'A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine."  Anne Bronte

Work in Progress Wednesday

Another finished quilt, that feels good.  I used some of my own hand dyed fabric for this one.  I added a bead journal which was suggested by a friend.  I had fun going through my stash of buttons to find the right colours to create the edge.  I am pleased with it.

#Inktober

Image
I have taken up the Inktober challenge to draw every day in October.  My drawing skills are mediocre.  I have no doubt with time and practice they could improve.  I have no desire to be a highly skilled drawing artist.  Well, that's not true I would love to draw hyper-realistically but I have no interest in putting in the time that is required to do so.  I am not entirely clear why I decided to take up this challenge but here I am.

Slow Stitching

Image
My stitch a day projects have been done monthly up until this point.  When I started stitching this in September I thought I would be finished in one month but no.  I will continue stitching on this for October as well.  I really have no clue where this is going.  My only decision was to use all silk.  Mainly because I was blessed with the gorgeous silk threads from a friend.

Not quite finished

I have been creating a fabric book based on leaves and trees.  With this page, I have been playing with transfer foil, paint, stencils and masks.  I am starting to like where this is going but there definitely needs something else. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

Journal Prompt #39

Image
The prompt this week was to use three colours.  Pink, purple and blue were my choices.  I wish I wouldn't have put the dragonfly smack dab in the middle, that was a poor choice.  Oh well, not the end of the world.  I decided against putting a quote on this page.
