my creative week....

Welcome to this week's creativity round up... a bit of paint, a bit of fabric, lots of color!!!

when I had to switch phones, I tested it by calling my friend Cindy. As we talked about art and life, I doodled the index card above. It didn't turn out like I hoped because I didn't segment the points first. But it was fun, and I got to play with bright watercolors!

I'm going to go back and forth from paintings to sewings.... it's all arting!

I sewed a lot this week, making this for RSC's color of the month, light green... my ongoing block

all the colors so far

I made a mug rug for my friend that sent the bag of scraps I've been using

couching a pretty trim around the outside

finished this from the same bag of scraps

I love this guy who sings to rescue animals...

so I wanted to try sketching he and Hazel one morning, in pencil

then coloring in with a watercolor wash, very very pretty in person and made me happy

this is an example of his music but he has a lot of videos

 enjoy this moment of peace...

I finished binding this quilt this week...a sample for the kid's class I used to teach. It was all done except for binding (can you tell I was raised in the tropics?) It was made in 2009! (never too late to finish)

kids learned to piece, applique and finish a quilt

some beading on a flower

one of my still blooming nadsturtiums which looks very similar, no?

while watching videos one morning, I tried painting circles, in a zen like meditation, with brush pens on an index card

including my kuretake gold brush

I thought I might just do one color but why do one when you can do many? 

on the back I tried three of my metallic gold pens...click on any image to enlarge it

the top is kuretake..... not metallic to me at all but a true paint brush. On the left is the Faber castelle which has a sort of wide felt tip, and the most metallic but fine nib is uniball on the right

I'm currently finishing the fall colored banner to hang up after Halloween, and last year's kaleidoscope quilt needs quilting. 

I'll leave you with an OLD Halloween quilt... the face is felt pieces that just stick on, it's made of 2" squares and was made about 1998! Hanging on my china cabinet from my grandmother who taught me to quilt.

happy arting this week y'all Zen Stitch starts next week at Kate Ward, and a two week workshop at Ida Lang runs the same time, oy
