every day

I am trying to follow Leah's example, and here is a notebook cover I am working on. It is a green jacquard fabric with an ornage sheer overlay and much stitching. the green does not show up in the image, but does in real life.
I am trying to make acrylic skins for printing on,but nothing is photographable yet.
I am also knitting toques wit dreadlocks, after Maggie Hunt's directions- lots of fun.
Alas, today's photo won't upload, neither jpeg or photoshop.

I have been trying to do art every day, but yesterday the business of art intervened, making it necessary to catalogue, measure and re- store all wall pieces.
found this, which had been untitled, and decided it is to be "Lines and Squares"
I took another piece off it's backing and am considering adding beads.
That and playing with the Distort Displace filter on Adobe seem to have eaten up the time

I am thinking about joining a on line challenge to do art every day in November, and blogging regularly about it. If anyone is reading this, do you do that sort of thing? Do you enjoy it?

Cyberfyber show

Well, the cards are up, so I had better post a blog! The cards are amazing. It is so long since I sent mine that I forgot what it was, but seeing is remembering.
Christmas day here on southern Vancouver Island, off the western Canadian coast, and we are having a very White Christmas indeed. So white that half my dinner guests last night decided to stay home, and there I was with food for an army! Fortunately friends with 2 small children had no power, so they mushed over. I have lived here all my life and remeber only a couple of snowy Christmases.
Santa, with a little prodding, gave me "The Painted Quilt" by the Kemshalls, Maggie Grey's latest and Julia Caprara's "Colour Explorations"- I can hardly wait to play.
I have been helping an 8 year old learn to sew, and she gave me a very pretty shopping bag made by her own fair hands. In secret. I am so pleased that she is interested. We are going to give the embellisher a try after the holiday.
