A new journal - using Lutrador

Today I worked some more with Lutrador which has some wonderful qualities. The upper photo shows the underlying fabric base which peeps through the Lutrador in the most wonderful way. The lower photo shows painted and stamped Lutrador applied to the base of a journal cover.

A Gathering of Friends Who Love Fiber and Fiber Art

Today I had the good fortune to attend a gathering organized by my fiber loving friends Patsy, Pam, and Fran. We shared wonderful quilts, clay sculptures, art quilts, a new quilter's in process applique, clothing, antique notions, knitted socks, a painting, needle tatted accessories, small knit beaded bags, knit socks, home dec fabric bags, felted knit wool bags, and a bag of leather.

Triad Color Scheme using Water Soluble Wax Pastels

Happily, I completed a Fast Friday Fabric Challenge in less than a week. This month's color challenge was to use a triadic color scheme -green, purple, orange. The composition challenge was to use pattern and/or texture - grid pattern created by the black outlined blocks and alternating horizontal and vertical strokes of the watersoluble wax pastels and quilting of the horizontal grids and the flower.

This is not a color scheme or a style I would typically use. Fun is the right word to describe its creation.
