Marvelous May


Why is May so marvelous? First, spring has arrived! Second, the Gelli print fabric is almost finished! Third, Wedding Piece #2 is finished!! Yay! and Fourth, I've been gardening and planting vegetables. Fifth, I've been playing with paint, and some ink.
So, May is beginning in a marvelous way.
In the garden this week:
these beauties shot through the eart in the last couple of days to add some happy colour to the garden beds

I love the variety of colour on one plant!






the gelli print fabric is colourful, too



 some areas have an overlap of the pattern, which has made the embroidery a bit confusing..........
 

 I had the need to play with some paint


I put the brush away, and used a credit card for the rest of the painting.
Lots of soft wave action.....


A friend spotted something in the water.......
Look!  A sea turtle!
Wow, how did that happen?!

Magical.
The basement bathroom is finished, and I grabbed a few of the tile pieces left in a bucket. After washing, a thin layer of rubbing alcohol was applied, and then I added some inks.
white tiles......
I love the bubble action.

This is a brown floor tile.
I got in trouble using the tile pieces......they might be needed for the upstairs bathroom, which is now in renovations..........I'll have to wait and see if there are any tiles left over when that bathroom is finished. Then, maybe I can play some more......... ;-)


Wedding Piece #2 is finished, and damp stretched!
Once upon a summer's night, two people declared their love and shared their wedding vows beneath a glowing super moon, surrounded by family and friends, all standing amid a beautiful winery. Pink roses flanked each row of grape vines, their soft scent perfuming the air. The grapes were not yet ripe, but glowed in the moonlight with the promise of a bountiful yield.


Does it look balanced to you?

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

Thanks for visiting.
