Welcome to Week 39 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week was filled with art. Quilty goodness? You'll have to see for yourself.
Read on...
SUNDAY - Today began with a bit of Light BLUE... Paint. Y is for Yarn on today's page for the ABC Printing Challenge...
... And continued with my weekly Zoom call in Sue's World:
MONDAY - I'm still taking it easy from last week's surgery, but took some time to do the final entry of the ABC Printing Challenge. Z for Zigzag. I went subtle with my zigs and zags, bit if you look closely, you will see them in the land, sky, and "flowers" of the abstract landscape I created:
TUESDAY - This many days after surgery, my face was swollen this morning. (I wonder if it was because I forgot the part about NOT bending over last night when I dropped a sock??
I thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with my gel pate this month. Figuring out how to interpret each of the prompts was a lot of fun. Here's one last page to celebrate the journey:
WEDNESDAY - Work? Yep! I went in just long enough to play Wordle...
And Quordle...
But it was a slow day, so I went home to do a few artsy things. I stepped WAY outside my comfort zone in a watercolor portrait class with Jennifer Bonneteau @ Rainbow Slinger:
Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color got canceled today, as we we both trying to keep up with the lessons for a couple of art summits this week.
THURSDAY - This morning was my surgical follow-up appointment. I wasn't prepared to look just yet, but was told that the site was looking really good. I had a few errands to run since I (basically) hadn't been out of the house in a week.
After returning home, I watched @hueholdarts demonstrate an abstract landscape for the Life Book Taster Sessions. This little 4" square was the result:
Tonight was my Monthly Evening Quilt Bee:
We had a couple of stragglers too...
It was so good to see everyone and have time to do a bit collage (like the Faces quilt collage from last year) in my Flowers Magic journal:
FRIDAY - Knit Group was canceled for this morning. Thanks, Hurricane Ian! :o((
I spent the afternoon listening to the wind and rain, but also did some visual journaling in my new altered book journal. Dr. Minette Riordan with CreativeU talked us through using a poem, Morning Poem by Mary Oliver, as a jumping off point for our abstract landscape paintings. This field of lilies is what I came away with:
REMINDER...
Here is the LINK for September's TABLE SCRAPS Challenge Link Party. Be sure to check back for additional entries throughout the weekend since I got confused and released the post last weekend. It's open through Monday, October 3rd @ 11:59 PM.
SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. I would imagine there might be a fair amount of Light BLUE finishes.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!

I didn't think you were confused about the Table Scraps link-up, but it will great to see more projects! Fun to see your paper and paint art for the week, too. Take it easy today - you need time to heal! 😘
ReplyDeleteYour Wordle ended exactly like mine!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are healing and creating this week. I need to pop out and get that fiberfill.... everyone is quiet so I think I'll sneak out! Hope the winds don't blow too many leaves down.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are taking it easy on your road to recovery. I know I wouldn't be able to drop a sock and not pick it up. It's natural for me to pick up my stuff (and the stuff of others...). I love watching your art work. I haven't tried Wordle. I'll have to find that in the app store and try it. ~~Kathy S.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the surgery went well and that you are healing and able to do things (except bending over - be careful!) ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteGreat news that the healing is happening. Amazing isn't it that simple activities like picking up a socks quickly jogs one's memory! Rest and play as much as is possible!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI lost something and just now I am hearing about your surgery. Take care of yourself and good news that you are healing. Great art work.
ReplyDeleteNice week despite quilting being canceled!
ReplyDeleteI am so behind with everything, I had no idea you had a surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Your art looks wonderful, well done with the portrait.
