She left me behind. I’m a very frustrated artist right now. Every time I go to make something either no ideas come or the ideas I have don’t translate to paper. I hate wasting supplies so I often don’t let myself just “play”.
I pulled out a couple books in various altered stages hoping to maybe get a page or 2 done in one of those. Nope…was not to be today. I did slap some paint on a couple pages..we’ll see what becomes of that. I like the colors but that’s is so far.
My neighbor invited me to a card party/demo today. The woman’s studio was fantastic!!
I wanted to move in..I’d sleep under the tables..no biggie. I started my paper arts journey as a rubber stamper making greeting cards. That was 13 years ago. A lot has changed. I still use my stamps but not to make cards. This was a nice opportunity to get a few made without having to think up a design.
I also got the cutest little box as a gift walking in the door. I’m going to be taking it apart so I can
make a template. I am SO going to make a bunch of these for quick little gift boxes.
I went to my favorite bi-annual church rummage sale. Yesterday I went for the “good treasures” such as some cool books to alter as well as a cute little fabric book cover with built in bookmark and handles for carrying. I was lucky enough to find a book that fit it very well at the same sale. SCORE!
I also bought a dress..not my size or style..but it had great potential as fabric ATC’s. It had rectangles of different tropical scenes all over it. Here are a few quick fabric ATC’s from it.
Fabric that small seems to give me trouble. I’ll have to keep trying. I think I’ll be doing more hand sewing than I had anticipated.
Today was $3 bag day..pretty sure I got over a dozen pair of jeans and cords to make into purses. Too fun!
