Welcome to Week 24 of the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week's activities are up in the air. Art is sure to feature prominently. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess.
Let's see how it all played out...
SUNDAY - Playing with paint and paper at my Weekly Morning Art Zoom, I worked in my Happy Mail Journal to finish up the spread made with items from Debbie's ATC swap. It included ORANGE as a nod to my RSC friends, since she's playing along with the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge where we follow Angela's Color of the Month:
After lunch, I went back up to tackle the TWIG prompt for ICAD beginning with a pencil drawing and cutting slits to insert a collaged twig as well...
Followed by the IRIDESCENT prompt which I layered with modeling paste, the iridescent watercolor that my friend Belinda sent me some time ago, and two shades of iridescent acrylics in my stash:
MONDAY - Day Off
After lunch, I ran errands and when everything was put away, I went up to the studio for my Weekly Zoom Call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
TUESDAY - Day Off
This afternoon I met with some of my Get Messy friends for Open studio with Barb. I've been running a bit behind, but I worked on adding Meg's color palette to this page in my Catalysts & Curiosities journal...
And I was pleased to attend this month's Prompt Deck Playground - following along and interpreting each prompt in my own way is so much fun. Here's my completed page:
I stayed at my art desk afterwards to do some catch-up work in my Catalysts & Curiosities journal. The theme was CONNECTION and the elements we were encouraged to include were slow stitching, translucency, and patchwork. I started with (paper) patchwork...
And ended up with the following composition:
WEDNESDAY - Work
Nice and steady flow of customers to help the time pass quickly.
THURSDAY - Work
I missed Curiosity Collective again :o((
FRIDAY - Day Off
Knit Group this morning reminded us that summer is here. How? Tracy was in the house:
Get Messy's Open Studio with Deandra found me working on the LEOPARD prompt for the Index-Card-a-Day challenge:
Later, while visiting with my Weekly Evening Art Zoom friends, I knocked out another page in my Catalysts & Curiosities journal. The theme for this one was MOMENTUM and Meg suggested using line work, layers, & waves:
I also got a start my interpretation of FRIENDSHIP prompt for ICAD. I still need to add some hand lettering in the open space between those rainbows:
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. Hopefully, they've done more with the RSC Color of the Month than I have!
Any ORANGE scrap sewing this week, Joyful???
Umm... No, but I did select theses strips for my TABLE SCRAPS Challenge entry:
I uncovered the following ORANGE scraps from last year's orange month:
Edited to add the Weekly Zoom Call that I enjoyed with Knittingsuek shortly after this post went live:
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
The IRIDESCENT prompt is really interesting, and looks pretty already. You have some great orange scraps to play with.
ReplyDeleteFinding the scraps is all part of the process! Ya gotta find 'em before you can sew 'em!
ReplyDeleteGetting those orange scraps/strips out in the open is a great start. Wonder what you'll do with them now. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love the Twig design that you came up with! Looks like you have some pretty orange scraps to play with, too. It's always fun to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see the different mediums you use and seem to thrive in. Please explain what you do with the variety of drawings, inks, painted pieces, and collages. Do you assemble books? How do you go about that? Or do you just store stacks of papers on which you've created something? I guess I'm just so used to creating with fabric or yarn, I can't picture what to do with the paper items. And what are you knitting? I've recently gotten into round loom knitting, and it's tempting me to try making all sorts of things, though caps are the easiest. At the moment I'm round loom knitting a cocoon for a newborn, and needle-knitting washcloths (to donate) from cotton yarn. So many fun things to make!
