In The Heat

It's been a little hot lately so I've been playing a bit with some painted papers, adding borders, shading, and defining edges to create cards. I even fussy-cut a sunflower!

The garden is still blooming:

hmmmm, some support is needed

I did make a tiny bit of progress on the wrapping cloth, and PPP #4, and I did a bit of tatting, too.

A bit of lace trim on the left, and the beginnings of a vine is all I accomplished on this piece.

I trimmed the flowers with gimp, and I've begun edging with buttonhole stitch. Next I'll begin adding the pieces together.

More Mary Konior's designs.

MK's  Merry Wives

 Mary's Butterfly  (Maria Pop)

I made some changes on this one, but it doesn't look much like a butterfly, does it?

 

Neither does this one!  lol!

But I hope my sweet little granddaughter will like them anyway.

 

 

I hope you've had a fun and creative week.

Thanks for visiting.

There was a bit of painting going on:

Creating a background

adding some greens

more greens and some brown, red

dried, and a little dull, but a good background for what comes next. I hope....

playing with leaves on an old, ugly painting

Thinking about adding leaf prints to the background......






Some stitching was accomplished this week. I made more Purple Project pieces:

I began embellishing PPP #4

I tatted these Bud Fragments ( Mary Konior:  Tatting With Visual Patterns )
