Sooooooo Sewn....

I have enrolled in the Mary Ann Moss online class SEWN.

We make our own patterned papers then sew them into various projects.

First... big loose painting.

I have learned that no matter how much I admire those that can use lots of colors at once,

I can use only one or two at a time and feel its authentic to my hands.

And I need to indulge a color combination over and over.

More, more, more...

 

My first project is this pattern journal...

 

into which patterns are painted.

I am in a creative growth spurt.

Learning and growing and yet back very much to Crayola watercolors...

Well Done Senora Perez

Another Hope for Oklahoma Auction purchase I made was this soldered necklace by Charlotte Perez. I like to think of her watching the children that were lost.

Senor Perez filled a large box with goods.

 Unexpected. Welcome. Deeply beautiful...

This Mirror Mirror she could see in my house by this other Charlotte piece I have.

I love her so.

 

Thank you.

 

Besos.

 

Butterflies and Daisy

Alisa Noble donated this handmade journal to the Hope For Oklahoma Art Auction in June.

Being the selfish hoarder of my friend's work, I had to have it.

 

She added many things to my package.

Lovely unexpected hand carved wood stamps, and pencils.

 

Butterflies always appear in Alisa's work. These are completely hand stitched.
Coral hearts from a trip to her father's lovely beach...

 A thousand thank yous Alisa.
 

And then this...

 

Daisy Noble
left Alisa and Brian last week.
Goodbye sweet girl...
 

 

Goodbye sweet Daisy.
