back again!

My blog disappered for a week or so due to some sort of unusual activity.

Thanks to everyone that missed me and wondered where I went.

 I have been working on some new art but cant find it in my photo file to show.

 Been working on a few new bags and gearing up for my Smash class this Saturday at Queen's Ink.
I've been told I have a few young people in my class and I am excited about that. It's going to be a fun day.

When I am inking things I always put a paper down for the over flow and other ink mess. Then I stamp over the pretty parts and tear them up and use in my other art projects. It's all good!

Wishing you an artful day!

Hello July

It's July again and boy is it ever HOT!

 My car says it's 102...I left Oklahoma because of the heat.

I got back from my bowling trip to Reno the day before yesterday and was wondering where my mail is.....just found out I have to go and get it. It's only 7 miles away but I don't want to go outside!

I want to sew under the fan and work on this quilt.

I hope you get to do what you want today.

 Another prayer flag from the yard.

A page from the mini Smash book.

More to follow....

a wing and a prayer

 I love the new camera on my iphone.

Took this pic of a bee on the bee balm.

Our art group made prayer flags last month like the ones in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.
This is one that I made earlier as a demo piece. I put them out on my trees before the leaves came out, and now they are on permamently....or until Fall comes.

Another new bag

 Another Springy floral bag.

 It was a birthday gift for an old friend of mine.

There's no front or back...it's open on top.

 Front above....

....and the back below.

Don't ask why it came out sideways.

It was right side up when I chose it.

Something had to turn out wonky!

But you get the picture.

Hope you are having a wonky free day!
