A New Journal

 Just finished this journal  and thought I'd share

it with you. I dyed Japanese Kozo  and Tengucho 
papers adding them to my design. The finish I  put on is 
polycrylic. !00 pages (both sides).

Back side. Love the colors of this journal.
So vibrant.
It is sold.

A Very Talented Lady...

When this arrived in my mailbox,

you can imagine my excitement!

I had  won a wonderful art piece

 from Lorraine at Creative Daily.

This was the envelope it arrived in.

It just kept getting more surprising as I opened

(very carefully) the envelope.

She had sewn this pocket envelope.

Inside I found the wonderful art piece.

I just love it. Look at all the detail.

But wait.....there's more....

This beautiful card and more

great detail!

Hand dyed fabrics and lace

all done by Lorraine. Great

vibrant colors.

More and more, oh my

goodness! I have to pinch

myself! Last there was all

this gorgeous hand dyed

 threads.

All treasures from a very

special creative friend.

Thank you doesn't even begin to cover

how I feel.  But thank you Lorraine.

A Very Creative Day, finally.....

The sun was shining and I decided to play hookie from the world. I got out my dyes and started experimenting. Of course I forgot to put gloves on and now I have some pretty wild paws. I was testing out a new dye and I really liked it. I was able to get so many shades with very little effort. Today was silk ribbons, tomorrow I shall try dying silk pongee chord for a purse I am working on.

I'M READY FOR MY WALK

I must go now as Teddy my ever so faithful bichon has had quite enough and wants to go for a walk. He has been so very patient with me. Off for a walk by the pond.
