Here is the first prayer flag that I have completed. It is 6"x10 1/2". There is a sleeve for hanging at the top. I hand stitched and machine stitched this one. I hope to get more of them completed this weekend.
Have a great weekend,

Mono-printing
I spent some time last week working on mono-prints. These are mostly going to be the base for prayer flags. The smaller ones are printed on an old tablecloth and the larger ones on muslin.
Next I will add stitching, words, and maybe more paint to some of these. I also need to a hanging pocket to the top of them. I will post more pictures as I make some progress.
Have a great week,

Summer of Color
Here is my art for Watermelon Ice. The first piece that I made was a cloak for my niece for her birthday. Her favorite color is red, so it fit in just perfectly for this week.
I also made a small quilt for the week.
The last thing that I made was a journal page.
I am going to miss the summer of color challenge. Even though life has been busier than normal this summer I have enjoyed participating immensely. I have just had to sneak in my art time some of the weeks.
Have a great week and enjoy creating.

Summer of Color
I finished my wild-n-reckless inspired art. I love this color combination and had a lot of fun with it.
My first piece is a quilt. It is bigger than any of the other quilts that I have made this summer. It measures about 12" x 11 1/2".
Have a good week,

The next piece is an abstract painting in my journal. I may add more to this page at some point because it isn't really a finished piece, but rather me just playing with the colors. I had to add some black and white for contrast as well. I took a poor picture, but when the light is better I can add a good picture.

Summer of Color
This week the color is Strawberry Lemonade Punch. I finished a couple of pieces, but I didn't get my quilt finished because we had a storm that knocked out our power. This happened just when I had the time to finish the quilt. I will be able to get it done soon and post it. I will show my finished pieces anyway.
The first piece is another sketch that was colored with Prismacolors.
I wanted to practice a whimsy owl, so here she is in strawberry lemonade colors.
My next piece is in my journal. It is an acrylic painting with some collage.

Keep creating.
