Let's see how that worked out...
And then I did some Light GREEN watercolor painting in my Altered Book Journal. These Funky Florals were from a Workshop Week 2023 class with Megan Wells:
FRIDAY - Work was followed by more art-ing. Sewing couldn't get a stitch in edgewise this week! Today's effort was a mash-up of Day 17's ICAD prompt and @juliemariottart's Sunflower Acrylic Painting from Workshop Week 2023. I'm pretty sure she didn't mean for it to be done in acrylic marker on paper the size of an index card, but that's what worked for me:
SUNDAY - Sew Some Love Sunday
Zooming with Knittingsuek started my week off right:
MONDAY - Mail Call Monday
Work was followed by laundry and blogging. Finishing today's post then went upstairs to the studio.
Quilting??? Art-ing?? What will it be?
First, I prepped something Light GREEN and Light BLUE for quilting and chose these two threads...
And then I did some Light GREEN watercolor painting in my Altered Book Journal. These Funky Florals were from a Workshop Week 2023 class with Megan Wells:
TUESDAY - Work was followed by the last of the laundry and finishing up the last two "cards" from the Index Card a Day Challenge. There some Light BLUE acrylic paint hiding in this moonlit night sky:
WEDNESDAY - Wonderful Wednesday
Today was my day off and I took full advantage of the time! Below, you will notice another try at Light GREEN and Light BLUE watercolor in my Altered Book Journal along with my valiant attempt at the Drawing Drop Caps class from Workshop Week:
I did take a break in the classes this afternoon long enough to meet for my weekly Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
THURSDAY - Work and a couple of art classes online. Portraiture Basics by @pbandjillian was amazing! While I probably should have chosen a mechanical pencil instead of a plain old No. 2 pencil...
I think the likeness is pretty amazing:
Then...
I was back for more Light GREEN watercolor painting, but no sewing:
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.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteVery fun arty stuff this week. I love those flower pages and your superstitious kitty is really fun too.
ReplyDeleteI'm very intrigued by the idea of an altered book journal. I think I may need to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteexcellent portrait! I think a #2 is better for sketch than mechanical. Softer lead is best
