Princess Bubbles Creates

This little journal is full of joy and strength.  I created it from one large sheet of paper that my granddaughter had painted.  I folded and cut it so that is eight pages that include pockets.  On each page, I adhered one letter to spell the word strength which we all need.  Each pocket also has a page inside.  I haven't pictured them as I haven't done much on them as yet.  The cover is collaged fabric and beading.  I used bright and cheerful colours that make me happy.

I have made a little headway on my bead journal for this month.  I better get cracking on it to finish before the end of the month.  I have been a little distracted from my stitching.  I signed up for a couple of online art journal workshops and have been enjoying splashing paint around.  There doesn't seem to be enough time for painting and stitching.  Both are relaxing and enjoyable.  I am not sure if I will post my paintings even though I am happy with the paintings they are not remarkable.  Back to the beading!

I have started hand quilting this piece.  I have the perfect thread for it in my stash.  That makes me so happy when that happens.  Not that I am against buying more thread mind you! Hand quilting on my deck, in the sunshine, is an absolutely delightful pastime.   I want to start adding beads to this piece but haven't quite figured that part out.

I have had a lot of pleasure creating my little collages.  They are fairly quick to create and I enjoy that as a lot of my pieces can involve a fair amount of time.  At least, by my standards.  I think this is the last one.  I now need to put my thinking cap on as to how to bind all my pages together into one book form.  Nothing has sprung immediately to mind so I may have to let this percolate.  No rush.  I am confident the idea will come.

I have added more beads to this piece.  There is a lot going on in this piece and yet I still feel more is needed.  I will keep stitching on it.  The weather is good and I can sit outside and enjoy my new deck while stitching.   I am linking to https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/   https://www.quiltfabrication.com/

I think street art is so great.  It is amazing to me that artists can think so big.  It seems overwhelming to me.  Possibly I could paint a giant mandala but not something like this. I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/

I made some progress on my bead journal for June.  I managed to sit outside and enjoy some stitching and some sunshine yesterday.    That is complete and utter bliss for me.  I really do count myself as blessed to be to that.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
