Circles one step closer

not much closer,  but I was so inspired by the collage that I pulled out some of my dyed cotton.  I put bondaweb on the back and cut out rough circles.  The hardest part come next.

inspired by Sonia Delaunay

This is one collage that I can show.  It is simply bits of glossy magazine.  I see bondaweb and hand-dyed fabric in my future..

7 day, 1 Magazine, Collage challenge

The challenge on clothpaperstudio group is to find one magazine and use it to make a collage every day for one week.  It shouldn't aim to be a completed work of art, just a sketch to use as inspiration later.  I used an old copy of marieclaire and I own up to breaking copyright making my collages, which explains why I am not posting the pictures here.

Why not grab a mag and a gluestick and play along?

not quite the new year

but I don't do new year resolutions anyway, no point in setting yourself up to fail :)

I have gesso on my hands for the first time in a year.  Wahoooooooo

no tears

I have dry eyes so got some artifical tears from the pharmacy.  Instructions say to put one drop in the eye, there may be some blurriness.  I take off my specs, stand in front of the mirror, tip head back and can't see to put the blooming drop in.  Finally managed it and noticed vision very blurred.  Waited for eyesight to get back to normal.  Waited.  Started to worry and went to look for leaflet, found it with specs sitting on top!  Put specs on, eyesight just fine!!!

The thing is, I only put the drop in one eye, I couldn't understand why blurriness was in both eyes - I scare myself sometimes...

something that I should have finished ages ago

I finally finished this little book.  Well two really but one has already gone to it's new owner. It is only pocket sized and has hand made rag paper pages.  This one will be in the mail this week.
