Princess Bubbles Creates

 Getting close to finished!  I am pretty happy with my Tigger dog.  Yes, I have been avoiding the face.  The face is such an important part.  I really don't want to mess it up.  I have been waiting for the right idea to come to me.  Maybe, I should go looking for the right idea.  Maybe, I just need some inspiration.  Maybe, some fluffy thread couched down.  Maybe, more beads.  

  Oh, camera, you are so much fun to play with!  I love creating abstract images.  The possibilities are endless. I am linking to  http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/ http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/ http://floralfridayfoto.blogspot.com/

 I have been adding beads and embroidery to my next dog journal page.  This page is for Trinity.  She was a golden retriever but definitely didn't have the typical golden personality.  She was quite the character.  I can see adding a lot more ribbon embroidery to this one.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

 This is my completed journal page for our dog Baily.  There is a lot of pink considering he was a male.  I am pretty sure he wouldn't care.  These colours and textures are pleasing to me. I went for a garden feel as his dog tag looks like a flower.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

  Slow progress is better than no progress.  I have added some silk ribbon embroidery to this piece.  I guess I haven't made a lot of progress because I am not quite sure what this wants.  I need my piece to speak to me.  I find it better to work that way than to push ahead.  I don't mind working on another piece while waiting for the right idea.  

 Okay, I like this better now and I am calling it finished.  I swapped the dog tag as this better represents Tigger, our first dog.  He was a little spaniel with springs on his feet.  This piece has a lot of energy and movement, just like Tigger.  I took out some stitches that didn't seem right and I added more beading.  Now I need to get this photo sent off to San Fransisco School of Needlework.  It feels good to have something finished.  I have been starting so many new things and haven't finished much for a while.

 I did not add a lot of beading and stitching to this mandala.  The pattern I created was enough and only needed to be enhanced.  Having a quick and easy piece to finish was good.  Sometimes that is all my attention span can handle.  I have been flitting from project to project lately. Writing two proposals and taking a writing course have been using up my powers of concentration.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/
