Hello,
The natural world is responding to the longer sun lit days. It is wonderful to hear so many birds and see so much green on our walks. I do not mind it being light until after dinner time either.
There was an Associated Artists meeting this week and we had a demonstration. Her trick is to use that fiber” spider wed” stuff that one can purchase at Halloween to attract the paint on the surface. She then rubs the fiber off the surface and the lines of paint remain. I asked for and she gave me the fibers and they were the start of a new felted piece for me.
I think it will be a new nebula thing of some sort.
There was also a Pixie meeting and the Sisterhood of the had a great zoom meeting even though there were only four of us. Scissors.
I keep working away on the 100 Day SAQA challenge stuff too. I started a new top yesterday using the Tiger print as my jumping of point.
My wonderful and generous friend, Liz, passed forward lots of beautiful solids to me too. They were in storage, so now I have a lot of laundry to do. I see that as a chance to really get to know what treasures she has given me and I can sort of plan my next projects.
The spring Sketchbook Revival started on Monday. I love the little challenges it provides- but that is usually about 2 hours a day to complete the drawings. I like the starch it provides me.
As a result I did not spend as much time in the studio as usual, but I am still working.
Progress Report: Collection Greens This is the total top for this next 100 Day Project. I did start the quilting using free motion yesterday.
This step will go quickly I think and I hope to finish it this week.
Blue Beach I am still adding buttons to the surface here. I also did finish all the work on all 20 Creative Assistants as my second hand work this week. No photo of that project as it is all put away for the next QBL already.
Imagine Purple I finally finished all the hand work on this project on Monday. I started the machine quilting to fill in all the spaces between the running stitch lines. There is lots of stop and go on this step so the going is slow.
I hope you are enjoying spring and staying safe.
Keep Creating
Carol
