Monday was my sister's birthday so I took off work and we went for a visit. I brought green beans and birthday cake. My sister-in-law brought bounty from her garden: peppers, cabbage, carrots, green onions, cabbage, peas, cabbage, cherry tomatoes and, of course, cabbage. We had a wonderful feast. I made a forest from the carrot tops.
Not much else is new. I'm working away on the Studio Journals class. I'm having great fun with photographs this week and playing a lot in Photoshop. I'm also still working on my June TIF piece--it's getting there. And thinking about July. I'm amazed that July is already nearly over.
With Photoshop today explored abstraction and pattern. I went from this to this to this... It was very interesting but I'm having a hard time finding a balance between playing with the designs and finding time to stitch.
It sounds like you had a wonderful day. I really like your carrot forest! I looked at your Flikr page too, you have been doing a lot for your journal class. I like the "memory" pages, like scrapbooking without the hype.
ReplyDeletebtw, i cannot remember if I told you, there are other books available with fabric flowers. The one book that comes to mind is Fabled Flowers by Kumiko Sudo ...
ReplyDeleteI think I've had the book since it came out in 1996. It is very beautiful : )
