Finishing up Odds & Ends...


Working on stitching and beading today. I don't know what it is -- but I love to work with black & white + one color. Very appealing to me.




These are little journal covers I made by painting on cotton duck with Neocolors II Artist Crayons, Acrylic Paint and Acrylic Textile Medium. I then stitched and embellished them with beads and metal stamped embellishments. The tassles are various fibers and a string of glass beads.

I've been having fun working with these smaller projects but I'm itching to start something of substance.
Looks like we may get a decent "snow" Monday night. Maybe I'll find some inspiration in the white silence.
