watching paint dry, and watching fabric growing

 

welcome to this week's creativity round-up starting with evening handwork on hexie spiral in pink

being sewn together one hexie at a time! 


Mostly I am working my (slow) way through sketchbook revival lessons and getting to know my art supplies again by using them


First the fabric work this week, usually pink scraps for RSC

used tiny triangles to do improv geese to be added to last week's work
used tiny scraps to build a book cover (it will be quilted then folded in half) 
lots of blocks made for the "parts dep't" 

and sewing this way calms me 

now the parade of sketchbook work... sometimes I paint the lesson on watercolor paper, and glue it into the sketchbook. I had limited bandwidth internally to do all the lessons started, but hope to eventually catch up before the season is over. On with the show

play with stamps and inks






what a fun technique starting with rolling a paint loaded brush on watercolor paper

crinkle squeeze watercolor paper


ink the fold lines then use tombow markers (water soluble) to color in, I also used pan inks to paint in

then for fun inked over some shapes

oh how I like this artists work.... (D. Gregory) who paints, writes over it to create a journal of memories
I still need to write about being 18 and spending countless hours at the beach to heal and find myself
I'll write over the blue area. This will be one of my best lessons, as it will allow words to join the party
pink tulips  for pink month

again he reminds me our choices in direction shape our lives
