Day 15

Day 15 - I’ve seen many artists on U-tube making pebbles/stone art so I thought I’d give it a go. 

I like the real thing better because the gold paint is glittery in real life. 

Day 13

This as a fun card to make.  I used Washi tape to keep the white colour and watercolour pencils for the base layer.  Then Sharpie acrylic makers for the designs I drew on top. 

Day 14

Day 14 - Cloth collage and my version of a log cabin.  Not a traditional log cabin quilt block mind you.  I should have watched a video to remind myself how it should have been made.   If I had, I would have recalled that the  reddish square should have been put in the centre.  Thankfully, I’m not making a real quilt.  Oh well I enjoyed my time making it regardless. 

Day 11 ICAD art

Day 11- I’m behind on posting. 

I found this cotton strip “yarn” at a thrift store, no idea what it was intended to make.  This is what I did with it.

 

Derwent Inktense paint used to darken background fabric.  Stitches used to adhere “yarn” and French knots.

Day 12 ICAD art

I needed some more colour.  I used Stoneground Paint Co (from Regina Saskatchewan Canada)  gouache although some of it I used like watercolour.  I like their paints.

I’ve been doing index card art mostly this month.  This is on cheap dollar store variety.

My 1 year anniversary

WOWZERS! Today is my 1 year anniversary of my surgery!!  I underwent the 7 hour surgery to remove the tumour that was attached to my heart and my right lung.

In one month from now, I’ll be getting my 6 month CT scan.  Crossing my fingers and toes that it will be clear of any regrowth!

The wool that I used to trim my heart is from a left over ball of yarn.  My mother had knited a beautiful sweater coat for me; I loved that piece of clothing!  I can still remember how I felt when I wore it! Cheers to you Mom (Agnes RIP)! 

Stitched heart is glued to an index card. 

Day 9

Day 9 - Life is messy.  A bit of this and that.

I put some left over threads on the painted background and went from there.  Added stitching, black paper cut outs, and fabric.
