FUN, FUN, FUN

Boy have I had a busy weekend mostly doing stuff I really wanted to do. The kids have entertained themselves for the most part and I've sewn, painted, inked to my heart's content.
First up is a look at some pages from a mini album I'm creating (remember the sneak peeks from a few posts ago?)
Since seeing P!nk my mixed media mojo has returned with full force, just seeing someone so amazing and creative in her own art has inspired me no end.
I wasn't going to show this album until it was all completed but there's still so much to do it may take a little while.
There are still some words etc to be placed on a few of these pages but they are mostly done for now.
Don't forget to click on the photos for a closer look.





What you probably can't see in the photos is all of the paint, misting and charcoal used, they look like they have more depth irl.

Next up is the finished beach/garden rug.
The quilting was simple straight lines 2 inches apart to hold it all together. Totally reversible, I love the back as much as the front I think.
The end measurement came to 60" x 60".


I hope you managed to fit in something fun into your weekend :)
