in British Columbia, Canada, which means more time in the studio, of course. And it's a hodge-podge on one of the tables. I can actually see four books-in-progress on this half of the table alone. You'll note the toilet paper roll thingy is just above that riotous canvas piece. It was not nearly the success it was meant to be, although there are parts of the painty blue and pink twists and turns on that canvas.
One of the books received some black ink work on the fabric cover with the next step to include addition of beads on those trailing elastics.
The floral signature in process received some more flowers and decorative pen work this week; goodness knows what else will add to the fun.
A highlight of the week was a Saturday morning playtime with
Eileen and
Laura. Eileen brought a project for us (just in case we got bored 🤣); she'd been making tassels for an upcoming market giveaway, so we got to make some too. Eileen had cut a large amount of her wonderful hand-dyed fabric into strips, so there was ammunition aplenty.
My first attempt included an over-inked stamped word, so I kept that one for myself and made a couple more to add to the box for Eileen. It was great fun, and has me giving the side-eye to a pile of fabric that I keep handy in the studio for goodness-knows-what.
Laura and Eileen were so fast with the technique that they had the box near-full when I was on my third one!
The photo above, if you can believe it, is of the same canvas piece that is in the first photo. It makes me wonder how many layers are on there, and how many more can I add? With this week near finished, I'm thinking I can get three more layers on it before the weekend. Maybe? 🤔
Happy week to you all - I'll pop over and check out your week when this is ready to go!
