Although my pink piece is not complete, I felt the need to begin the next in my spiritual series of textile art. I am on day 5 of 'Can't steal my joy' daily devotion on The Bible App. The words, Shine like a light in a broken world, spoke loud and clear. I heard, Start the yellow piece! So... that's what I must do.
Alisa Burke's class, The Patchwork Garden, was a fabulous escape for me. 9 days of daily lessons ending with a fun folded collage of garden themed mini art pieces. She used water color and marker. I used watercolor and collage using images cut from 2 books, old photographs, washi tape, and a stash of papers.
There is more pen work to be done, but for now I must tuck it away. My hands hurt from extreme yard work and I seriously need to prepare for a trip I leave on next week.
Thankful for sunny days ❤️
I don't like the blue solarfast as well as using cyanotype, but being able to use it straight from the bottle without mixing certainly saves time. Playing with broken pottery as my mask creates some interesting shapes for stitching.
I think I will do another with more shards much closer together to create a mosaic or pathway effect.
I needed mulch and 2 tomato plants. 2 lovely hosta plants somehow got into my cart as well!
When the sun shines, I print! I have been using solar fast for all my prints. Unfortunately, no success on photos. However, I have a huge stack of fabric to work on!
I do enjoy free motion quilting. It took a couple of mornings to complete the stitching. Next - finish the edge and then begin stitching the next layer down.
