Come and join me in the Arts and Wellness Café where the Word for the Week has been Profound. Check out the video below to hear about some of the things that I am sharing:
One of the things that helped me through our first lock down as we dealt with the Global pandemic was to start stitching, and I completed many projects. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed slow stitching and creating projects.
Here are some projects that I am working my way through and I have been creating some smaller pieces as well.
This piece incorporates stitching with hand dyed wax resist fabrics
I like working on more than one piece at a time and here are some additional stitched pieces that are coming to a close. (I will share in another post.
Art Journal Page
You also get to see in this video how you can get rid of some of your neglected art supplies and create a lovely art journal page and here are some that I shared.
Applying the paint and using stencils to create a design enables you to make some really lovely background pages ready for when you next have time to work on them.
I had intended to use several stencils, but only used two for these pages. It was lovely working in the journals, I had one main one and used two others to use up the extra paint I had on the pallet. The paints are reasonably priced and over they years I have collected quite a few, so want to use some of them up before they dry out. I have put the links to some of the supplies I used.
