Princess Bubbles Creates

I have managed to get add some stitches to this piece.  Slow stitching indeed.  A few days ago I decided I simply must find more time to express myself with stitch.  I NEED to feel more productive.  Helping look after my almost three-year-old granddaughter is a privilege, joy, taxing and oh so much more.  I know it is special but it does not feel productive to me.  At least not art-wise.  I have gathered my stitching projects into one pile and committed to adding a little bit of stitching to each one of them every day if possible.  I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

There is still a bit of room on this piece to add some stitching.  Not much mind you.  It is a bright and cheerful piece that gives me a lot of pleasure to stitching onto it.  I am in no rush to finish it as I don't really know its end purpose.  Does it have to have a purpose other than my pleasure of stitching?

I love  Maggie Grey  and own many of her books.  Her mixed media approach to stitch is really inspiring.  I have drifted away from that for the last while and would like to return to it. Maggie posted a challenge on her blog and this is my start at that challenge.  I wanted to incorporate collage as I have been listening to  The Jealous Curator  podcast.  I have dabbled with collage over the years and feel like some of my textile work is a collage.  So this is a mandala collage with found poetry.  Stitch still needs to be added to it but I need to back it with fusible interfacing before I can start stitching.  I used black Brusho powder on a coffee filter for the base.  I love the way the black breaks out into different colours when wet.

I am still loving doing my mandala meditations.  I have been posting one a day on Instagram @angelagrasse  This is one of my favourites.  I do love analogous colours.  I also push myself to use colour combinations that are analogous or even my favourite colours.  It is good to get out of the box. 

This crazy piece became unearthed this week.  I decided to add more hand stitching to it.  I honestly have no idea where this one is going but I do want to keep working on it.  I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

I have made further progress on my bead journal for April.  I am loving the way it is coming along.  I am tempted to stop at this point.  I will at least take a break from it for a few days. I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

A MESSAGE FROM YAYOI KUSAMA TO THE WHOLE WORLD Though it glistens just out of reach, I continue to pray for hope to shine through Its glimmer lighting our way This long awaited great cosmic glow Now that we find ourselves on the dark side of the world The gods will be there to strengthen the hope we have spread throughout the universe For those left behind, each person’s story and that of their loved ones It is time to seek a hymn of love for our souls In the midst of this historic menace, a brief burst of light points to the future Let us joyfully sing this song of a splendid future Let’s go Embraced in deep love and the efforts of people all over the world Now is the time to overcome, to bring peace We gathered for love and I hope to fulfill that desire The time has come to fight and overcome our unhappiness To COVID-19 that stands in our way I say Disappear from this earth We shall fight We shall fight this terrible monster Now is the time for people al...
