<span style="font-size: x-large;">one can never have too many of these sweet things in the garden. ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i've been nose deep in the garden for several weeks now just like the ladybug above. she may have been getting a drink from the dew drippy dill but i've been planting, weeding, creating path, etc . . . </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">soon enough it will be cold and the snow will be falling and then i'll have more time to stitch as well as show off just how few stitches are currently making it into any projects.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in the meantime </span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">there seems to be little time or patience for cropping out pesty flys or creating the perfect image ratio's. all of these shots are straight out of the camera so forgive the imperfections of the photography and my lack of stitch surprises and just enjoy the beauty of my garden please.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">i have some art journaling pages today. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and words~! ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">during the last few months i have managed to art journal on most days. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i definitely </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">prefer working on the fabric art pages lately. they take much more time but i'm enjoying the work as well as the finished pages.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">with this in mind i made the decision to leave the Journal52 "highway" and enjoy my "scenic side road" of fabric art pages instead. i like being able to take my time and allow the 'work' to progress intuitively and organically as i experiment with ideas and techniques on </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">the fabric pages. this makes them generally too slow to make keeping up with the Journal52 project enjoyable. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">btw: that's a bit of a tea bag there behind that moon. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">many possibilities for sure~!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i continue to surprise myself as i enjoy the art quilting more than i ever thought i would.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">traditional bed quilts are wonderful and i still enjoy making them and sleeping under them and even decorating with them but these small art quilt pages have captured my imagination in a whole new and unexpected way.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">this fabric page was the result of a Journal52 prompt (found poetry). i extracted words from an old book on how to pay less taxes . . . i enjoyed the finished poem and the irony of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i also used this page for experimenting with using cheesecloth as a base for some improvisational weaving. i LOVE the results and am now thinking of creating some soft yet bright curtains for the long side windows by my front door as well as one for the window in the front door itself using this technique. i have <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj37pIPCeMvg5V_uKIx6I5Ehqr7Qp6LbQOy6KaZeaZm9H6hXxHkS57m0Nwif9l71xFOgvCY4R_oRurue9yhn4F01173-z-rs705Pt1rTTBdnUmidCVRjyygBGN1uL9i6HelO3NbU4cJ72vd/s1600/029.jpg" target="_blank">another example</a> of this experimentation on one of the postcards in a previous post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">this simple page is a further experiment in weaving. this time using leftover skinny strips of fabrics combined with stitching. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">lots of possibilities here as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">this page is the result of a few very small scraps of my own hand dyed fabrics with an inclusion of a batik that i liked (the spiral printed pieces).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i enjoyed using different weights of thread as well as varying the stitch lengths. i see that quilting can be so much more than just a small running stitch in fine thread . . . not quite embroidery but definitely some complexity to add interest within certain spaces . . . </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">on this page i have stitched a combination of fabric <strong>and</strong> paper and will likely do more of that over time. i also used that hand made turtle stamp that i made a while back. it's a fun stamp and i enjoy using it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i also have this more traditional art journaling page from march (right before i made the decision to leave the Journal52 project). i was feeling overwhelmed by many things when i created it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">funny how our feelings can come out in the creative process. i was really struggling but thankfully there's humor here too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i reused the front side of a windowed envelope as my 'page' placing the gecko behind the window.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> i appliqued two more tulips onto the <em>second</em> row of my jubilee quilt project this a.m. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i really enjoy working with hand dyed fabrics. the vine and the center part of the tulip are both using fabrics that i dyed myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the second row is looking a lot like the first one so i'll just leave you with this macro of that project.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">during the past week i've also worked on several other slow stitching projects:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">my fabric art journal page is finished. i dated it with the date on the day when i was stitching the date and since that happened to be valentine's day i also decided to applique a primitively stitched heart in the remaining space. this page was inspired by the <a href="http://journal52.com/">Journal52</a> project (week four). the prompt was 'building character' and i blogged more about that <a href="http://simpletosublimepapernapkinpoetry.blogspot.com/2014/02/art-journal-every-day-february-7-2014.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i'm keeping the fabric art pages to approximately 4 x 6 inches and i LOVE doing them. i'm definitely seeing at least one journal in my future using only these pages . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i'm breaking some of the rules so if you are interested in playing along you might want to check the Journal52 site out for yourself.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">this is a project that i started last year in response to a guild challenge. it's currently (approximately) the size of a fat quarter of fabric and once i have joined it with more pieces i'll go back and add some leaves that will bring the areas together.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the challenge was to draw randomly from written suggestions and then use the suggestion drawn in a project. i drew the word 'tree' and decided to work it into a small piece that i want to make that will cover my fireplace during those months when it's not in use. i was supposed to have this finished in december but didn't make the deadline.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">since then, my guild has issued another challenge (a paint chip challenge) and i will work on incorporating that next.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ultimately this piece will (hopefully) have a primitive random sampler look to it. i don't think it will be completed with the paint chip challenge . . . who knows, maybe i'll be able to milk it for a few more years' worth of guild challenges . . . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i do expect that at least some of it will be machine pieced so maybe it will go a little faster but i only work on this piece once a week so it's probably not going to be finished any time soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">i try to work on my long term family christmas stocking project on tuesdays and so far that's working out. slow progress but i may very well get at least this one (wonderful husband's) finished by next christmas and maybe even the last one (mine).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">i'm adding lights to that tangled up string of lights and it's coming along nicely.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">the journal52 project is keeping me pretty busy with my art journaling. the 'primitive sampler' series of shots are my progress on the <a href="http://journal52.com/week-4/">fourth week</a>'s page/prompt: (building character).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">it was thought to be a character building activity. i'm not arguing with that.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">the current and <a href="http://journal52.com/week-5/">fifth week</a> prompt is 'abstract art inspiration'. i found this prompt to be intimidating at first as i don't have a lot of knowledge about abstract art and can't even claim to have liked it until the past several years. it has sort of grown on me for reasons i don't understand.</span></div>
