Quick Collages

Image
These little collages are pretty quick to create.  One ply of a pretty napkin and then a few little bits and pieces.  Then the extra fun bit, finding the words.  I love found poetry!  I rather enjoy that these little collages can be done so quickly.  My stitching projects take more time so it is good to have a diversion that is quick and easy.

Work in Progress Wednesday

I have made a bit of progress on my New Zealand piece.  Thanks to a lovely friend.  My friend shared some paua shell pieces with me.  They were just what I needed to create a fern shape on the first mountain.  I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://estheraliu.blogspot.com/ http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
It has been a while since I have been able to participate in Take a Stitch Tuesday with  Sharon B .  She shows us how to do the Buttonhole Wheel Cup this week.  I thought it might work well with beads.  The beads look a bit messy but I think it works for me on this under the sea piece.

Bead Journal

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!
