See that title below? It should really be this month's, rather than this week's, if truth be told :). Taking a leaf from Julie's great Push-Up Bra Blogging, here's one two I made started earlier, but finished quite recently ...
1, 3, 5, 7, 9: adventures in free-motion embroidery
2, 4, 6, 8: mixed media and collage contribution to The Princess and the ?
The first is the completion of a piece of work started in a real-time class at the Janome Centre with Dionne Swift, and I am hopeful these techniques will make their way onto a scrapbooking page before long. Free-motion embroidery became a lot easier once I discovered that the foot pedal of my sewing machine has two speeds and the slowest one gives much more control. I've only had the machine six years ... (Did someone say Duh?).
And if you are a little puzzled by that question mark in the 2,4,6,8 sequence above, a quick scoot over to Carla Sonheim's blog should provide you with a bit of illumination :). As part of her Year Of The Fairytale, Carla has put together an illustrated e-zine of all the work we have done in her class on the story of the Princess and the Pea; we were each asked to choose an object other than a pea which The Princess might have under her bed, and design two pages to illustrate it. You won't have to scroll or click for long if you'd like to see mine in full - there are advantages to having a first name with starts with A! Do keep flicking through, though - we're a diverse group with some amazing talent ...
As the end of the month hoves into view, I'd better get my skates on if there's to be any Creative Streaking in July at all! See you soon?
