They flit, they float...

...and they fly all around me.  Dryer sheets, that is, and I'm determined to make a dint in my stash of them.

I've been painting them for years, since they make perfect mop-ups for left-over paint.  This last while I've been experimenting with using them to make three-dimensional vases, and having fun honing my beading/buttoning skills.


I've spray glued them to Gelli-printed papers, which gives them yet another dimension,


and apparently I couldn't get myself to stop.


It's just that they are so lovely, and will make great background texture in hand-crafted greeting cards.


One needs to get up close to see the texture over top of the print underneath...I'm endlessly fascinated.


This one was so colourful that I placed it on a plain white paper instead of over a print - still lovely.


And the best part of my week?  I got a fabulous package from a favourite on-line artist friend.  Over on the Google+ site Creating and Sharing Mixed Media Art, we've been doing an Artist Trading Card exchange, and these fabulous cards came from Shelby Pizarro.  You can find her blog here for more deliciousness.  This first ATC is just so ethereal - beautiful.


I'm crazy about Venice, so this one just pleases me no end.


And look at the pile of fun that came with them.  Coincidentally, I'm working on a journal right now that incorporates fortune cookie slips - however did you know, Shelby?


Added to that is the fabulous group of papers - more playtime ahead, I can see!


I hope your week has been just as fun and at least as colourful.  Do tell in the comments below - I'd love to hear what you're up to.
