Princess Bubbles Creates

It is fun for me to play with art journal pages.  I created layers and layers of snowflakes for this page.  What a beautiful holographic, metallic storm.  I am not sure that it truly fits the festive prompt.  So what.

My bead journal for December is done.  I love this fru fru Christmas tree.  The proportions of the angel and the bead I used for the trunk are wrong but it adds to the charm.  At least it does for me.  I completely enjoyed creating this one.  I do not have a fru fru tree in my home.  Nor will I ever have as I love the handmade ornaments that my kids and friends have made.  Every year it is a special trip down memory lane pulling out those ornaments.  My tree is a mish mash of love, just the way I want it.

This quilt is pretty unusual for me. When I signed up to do a mixed media self-portrait with the San Fransisco School of Needlework I wasn't sure what I would do.  Slowly, this piece has evolved.  I have stitched the 'hair' on to it.  I really like the 'hair'.  I like the idea of the mask covered with lace but it seems too light in colour.  I want it to blend into the background or at least not stand out so much.

The prompt this week is festive again.  That is the prompt for the whole month actually.  I had so much fun creating this page.  I felt like a five year when I got out my glitter glue and decorated this tree.  Positively gleeful.  I used paper that I had crumpled and dyed, love the texture that creates.  I added round pearl stickers to make this a very fru fru tree.  Definitely, a theme going with fru fru trees.  At the bottom of the page, I simply wrote Oh Christmas tree how lovely are your branches.

My stitch a day project for December is coming along.  I love the fabric background I created with oil pastels.  I have quite a collection of six-inch squares from the projects I have been doing this year.  I haven't quite decided how to use them.  Not all will go together so it can't be one big piece.  I am linking to http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ http://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.ca/
