This is the start of my bead journal for November.  Can you see an underwater scene happening?  I am developing this one for a class I have been asked to teach.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

More Collages

More of my little collages.  The sheer layer of tissue really adds interest for me.  Also, finding the word snippets is just fun!

Work in Progress Wednesday

At our guild meeting last week we shared our 'sinchie' challenges.  The theme was nature.  These six-inch square challenges can be fairly quick to create which is a good thing.  I had started one with a leaf as the focal point and wasn't thrilled with the way it was going.  So I created the one in the top photo which is a more abstract interpretation of the theme.  Our meeting was held at The Idea Exchange in Cambridge.  What a fabulous place!  They have a 3D printer, laser cutter, and a few other machines that you can book time to use.  We were shown how the 3D printer works and given a printed button to use.  Also, we were shown how the laser cutter works and given the snowflake ornament.  The guild member that organized the trip has challenged us to use these two things in a fibre piece.  That should be fun!

Comfort Quilt

My friend Judy is magic.   She put this quilt top together in no time.   I am amazed.  I think we (well mostly Judy) managed to pull our two very different styles together nicely.   This quilt is going to our dear friend Kathi who has recently started chemo treatments.  I believe she will feel the love with which this was created.

There is a lot of sparkle on this piece.  There is not a lot of beading considering I started working on this in September.  I spent more time this past month on preparing an artist in residence proposal.  I am pretty excited about my idea and really hope I get selected to do it.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

Altered Playing Card Collages

Here are eight more of my little collages.  These are a bit more special to me.  I used butterfly die cuts that I bought when I was in France.  That was seven years ago!
