the studio is never really, ever ‘quiet’ ~ it’s a rare day that i am not in it, even if i just go in there; look around, tidy up… or just to think. to take stock. pick up those unfinished projects… weed others out! just like cleaning out the closet. {which i also need to do ~ ugh!}
so i finished some… began {again} finishing others.
the first piece is a screened print {screen from margaret applin}. {i heart her!} and i decided to add simple quilting with pink and white threads. done! oh, and a little addition of a pretty ribbon {or two}.
and some white fabric painted with silks acrylic paints… quilting begun. {not finished}. and not sure where i’m going with it next…
black faux leather feathers. uhm… yum. love these. love that magnifico thread even more!
a project that has stalemated in my to-do pile. i’ve decided to begin working on it a {again}… taking one little stitch motif at a time. until it’s either finished, or sparks a path i’m not aware of at the moment … and doing that… may be just all it needs to be finished. {i think!}
more feathers… in the works. in thinking about feathers, much of the interest for me is the color work and choices with thread textures. i just really wanted to see how this thick, variegated yli cotton thread i’ve had for such a long time worked out. it’s subtle. i like it. more to do!
and i found a piece of fabric folded in the pile. i hand painted it with dye-na-flo dyes from jacquard several years ago, adding a bit of lumiere golden fabric paint on top. these tones and colors… they make me swoon, i love it so. but what shall i do with it? i think it will need feathers, and a word or two. just a thought {or two}.
the weekends come slowly… and fade so very quickly. but i love dreaming… every day. i do love my creative life.
blessings on yours.
