ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC26 - Week 46

Welcome to Week 46 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week should be a pretty chill week of art, quilting and a couple meetings.  Since there was no chosen Color of the Month for Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge in November, I'm electing to work on finishing my Orphan Block UFO.  Maybe I'll even finish it this week!

Keep reading to see if that happens...

SUNDAY -  During my Weekly Morning Art Zoom at Get Messy I completed Day 21 of The 21 Day Painting Challenge.  Thank you, Sarah, at Sarah Martinez Art!  This event ranks high among my favorites.  Here is my interpretation of the Gratitude & Intentions prompt:

Then...

With her permission, I started a pencil sketch based on this quilt depicting a sweet pastoral scene found in a post from Janine @ Quilts From the Little House:

And finally added a focal image to a previously collaged page in my Get Messy Art Journal:

MONDAY - Errand/Art Day

Today's Library Crawl at Get Messy was based on the Unfold class from Caylee Grey.  I used "Frankenpaper" made using a method learned from BB Henry to create my page:

TUESDAY - Art Day

.

During the Early Explorers hangout at Get Messy, I finished the pencil sketch and started painting the Farm Quilt scene based on the quilt made by Janine @ Quilts From the Little House I shared in Sunday's entry, but I only got as far as the sky so won't be adding a photo.

WEDNESDAY - Art/Sew Day

During Midweek Meetup, I added another layer to the Farm Quilt sky. Still no photo.

This afternoon...

Watercolor Zoom with my friend Belinda in Maine we had a plan...

But she got a head start on the project so I finished the painting begun yesterday:

Thanks for the inspiration and permission to paint, Janine!!

Once that was completed, tried "The Penny Trick" from @artbylizziejayne, but I left off the 

two pine boughs from her video:

Before heading down for tea time, I forced myself to knock out the squaring up of my UFO:

THURSDAY - Quilt Day/Art Day

Today I attended my Weekly Quilt Group at Ruth S's.  We passed around a portion of the quilt patterns left to us by a friend.  I selected these:

Afterward,  today's ART-venture led us to Jerry's Artarama in Raleigh, but no photo was taken.  Here is the landscape I did using the water activated Neocolor II Crayons purchased:

When I dropped Britt off at her house, she encouraged me to adopt a few items from the stash of one of our Quilt Bee members who passed away last year.  I brought these home:

FRIDAY - Knit/Art Day

This morning's Knit Group was held at Beth's house.  A light crowd today:

After lunch...

I headed up to the studio for Deandra's Art Zoom.  Today, I used a variety of paper scraps along with a sticker from my friend Tracy for this page in my Collage Scraps Journal:

After dinner, I went upstairs for my Weekly Evening Art Zoom and repeated the process (sans sticker) for another page:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you will stop by for a visit Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.  As you saw, I  managed some Light and/or Dark NEUTRAL scrap work this week and plan to share the completed project in next Wednesday's post.  In the meantime, here is my recently completed pair of socks made from destashed yarn from Marianne P:

Thanks, Marianne!

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!!
