Trims and ribbons

That prompt for PLAY this week.

Trims, ribbons, fibers!  Oh MY!

I love to find a way to add some to my work.

I love the texture.

The sky pictures are from a day at Lake Union

when the sky looked like it wasout of a fairy tale.

So amazing.

Do all things with love

And you can't go wrong.

Art bits and digital work

That is the prompt for PLAY this week.

The drawing (not mine!) was done on vintage music paper.

I love using music paper in my projects.

I love music and almost always have music on.

(I'm not a TV watcher)

Nostalgia

This weeks PLAY prompt is

NOSTALGIA.

The black and white photo is one I took at the end of summer last year.

A longing for just a little more summer

and more flowers...

not the dried coneflowers waving a goodbye.

Check out Carla's page.

You can shake the sand from your shoes

but not from your soul.

Sketching

The prompt this week in PLAY

is sketching.

I am finding that I really enjoy sketching

and it stretches me in new ways.

To look at things in a different way.

This tag was on some socks I bought for Emma.

I liked that the flower looks like a sunrise.

Check out Carla's sketching.

To try to be better

is to be better

Check out Carla's page.

Close your eyes

clear your heart

let it go

Stars, stencils & stitching

For PLAY this week...

A star, some stripes and some stenciling with a little stitching.

Kinda funny colors, but I liked the shiney sparkle papers.

Check out Carla's page.

The great acts of love

are done by those who are

habitually performing

small acts of kindness.

Give everyday

Cheesecloth

The prompt this week for PLAY

is cheesecloth.

I have none...

I kinda got stuck on this one and ended up creating

and then used gauze

(thanks, Carla, for the suggestion!)

to stamp along the side.

Check out Carla's page.

 

 

With freedom, books,

flowers and the moon,

Who could not be happy?

--Oscar Wilde
