I cannot believe that it has been over 2 months since I posted here. Whoa. I just kept putting it off and thinking I would get to it. Apparently, I never did get to it. So now I'm gettin'. Got it?

It does still creep me out some to tear up a kid's book.

I have had some time to get into the Batcave and accomplish a few things. Mainly, I am trying like mad to finish up some classes that are set to expire soon. Note to self: do not sign up for more than 2 or 3 classes at a time. Ever. Again.
I was able to finish one class called "The Art of Wild Abandonment". It is lead by the marvelous Junelle Jacobsen and can be taken through ScarletLime. Since I have friends and family who keep having babies or grandbabies, it seems like a lot of my stuff is going for gifts. I'm good with that.
The pics below represent a couple of gifts. They are actually noteboards. They were done on 6" x 12" deep edge canvases. The fabric is stiffened burlap, and the blue fabric is from some blue jeans that I had hemmed. The backgrounds are book pages with lots of paint. I used embroidery floss for the 'sewing' and did that by hand. The pieces were attached to the canvas by using Golden's Super Heavy Gel Medium. Enjoy.

Gettin' the sticky on!

I love the wire wrapped rocks.

It's the easiest thing in the world to go out and grab some sticks! |

Sorry for the black rectangle, but I wanted to block out the recipient's name. I just used some letter stickers! |
