New projects…
Remembering the earlier post about ‘ blogging without obligation’ I’m just going to jump straight back in and post some pictures of my work…

three altered text ATCs already gone to a new home… but I really enjoyed making them so I’m sure I will be doing more…

a 5” quilty.. made for a swap…and gone to it’s new home…
Design decisions…
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post I’ve committed myself to a year long project, a bead journal, starting in June. So I’m having to make some design decisions…
After much consideration and deliberation… I think I’m going to opt for the book format, as I’m thinking of this project as a place I can try out ideas… maybe add a few personal happenings… the idea of a journal done with beads and hand stitches on some of my hand dyed/painted fabrics seems to me the perfect place to maybe share a few secrets in the bead/stitch work… therefore a book seems to be the perfect setting… I have started making a paper journal that I will keep during the next year… somewhere to jot down any design ideas and developments… maybe I can combine the two journals somehow…I’ll have to think about that a bit… I’m really looking forward to starting this project…
Finished painting…
I’ve stop painting, at least on this piece of fabric, otherwise I could just go on and on, then have no room for any stitching….

while I have no idea what I’m going to make with this fabric, 20” x 16”, I couldn’t resist adding a few outline stitches in one corner….
