Princess Bubbles Creates

I have created some fun word banners and hung them in the tree in front of my house.  This has been a really fun project for me.  I have had a number of positive comments on it.  I have seen people walking by and smiling as they read the words.  I am hoping this is as uplifting for the viewers as it has been for me creating it.

Vintage isn't my typical style/colour palette but I do like it.  I am having a lot of fun with these little collages and look forward to putting them all together into some sort of book.  These little collages have got only one positive comment.  Thank you, Collete, for your affirming words! I don't make my art for other people so positive comments are not totally necessary.  However, right now maybe I am feeling more vulnerable or less confident, just not quite myself.  Understandable for sure.  Anyway, the one positive comment has gone a long way to strengthening my resolve to continue down this collage path.  It really only matters that I like them.

Okay, I admit I may have a problem.  I just can't stop thinking kaleidoscopes and mandalas.  This is the start of my next beaded piece.  Obviously, no beads as yet.  I have some really awesome cleanup clothes that I have been wanting to use so that is the base.  I love the serendipity of the colours on the cleanup cloth.  I have adhered some silver leaf.  Next, I will add stitching and beads.  I am linking to https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ https://www.quiltfabrication.com/

I am so happy pleased with the way this mandala is progressing.  I was able to get a fair amount of beading done on it this week.  The pink is being knocked back by the beads and that is a good thing.  I can't wait to add more colour. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

Okay, these mixed-media collages are a lot of fun to create.  I was going through some random bits and the green/gold silk scrap had a gold star sitting on top it.  It spoke to me and was the start of this collage.  The most fun part for me is picking out the words to create found poetry.  I think this will be a great addition to my fabric book.

I posted about this crazy quilt a little while back.  I am happy to say that it is published in the Summer Issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly.  It is always an honour to have my work accepted for publication.  A little validation goes a long way!  You can purchase a copy at https://www.magcloud.com/user/kitty-and-me I am linking to https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ https://www.quiltfabrication.com/

There is no such thing as a new idea. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. -  Author: Mark Twain I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/
