Here are the next two videos in the series using dimensional paints and fabric. It is a great way to use up supplies that you just have sitting around and you end up with some great patterns on your fabric that you can use in your creative stitched projects.
Here is a short video in which I share with you painting on fabric. It is one of 3 short videos to get you inspired to creatively play with your supplies.
I think it is important to get a view of how things start their journey, usually at this stage as a piece of fabric that gets painted, then it is built upon.
Here is one of my recently finished stitched wall hangings.
It is a mixed media piece that includes fabrics, beading, slow stitching and Moringa Wood that has been harvested from my garden and then wood burned.
What's Love Got to Do with It? -

How are you showing love to yourself in your creative walk. We can often put our creative needs on the back burner and be everything to everyone. Did you spend some creative time on yourself today?
The 'I'll do it tomorrow' never comes. I find it is in those moments that lead to self nurturing are the ones that fall by the wayside for me. I know I will feel great but I allow non important things to get in the way. Going to the beach and swimming in the sea is something I really look forward to and it sets me up, but I don't do it often enough.
Take some time to thing about what it is that you are putting off and how it could impact in a negative way to your creativity.
I shared some of the work that I am currently doing at the moment, stitched pieces made from scraps. They have been given a second chance to be something else.

This is another figure that I did but she still needs to be completed. I hope you enjoy.
Join me in the studio for Arts and Wellness Café where we look at more ways in which 'Hopeful' impacts on you health and well-being.
I also share with you two short process videos so that you can look at playing with backgrounds, just using Inktense pencils, collage paper in a journal, you can apply colour to the page and use it when you only have a short time to play.
I also catch up with some of the Life Book taster sessions, it is great to be able to see what the other teachers did for their sessions and here is one that I was able to do Inspired by Eulalia Mejia creating the backgrounds, using gesso and going in a mark making on figures, the one below is what we did in the classroom.
Come and join me on my latest Episode Podcast Realityarts.
