Glue It Tuesday Jam Jar

That week went fast, boy!

Linking up with Artysville for Glue-It Tuesday once again.
This glue-it is a simple one, but such a favorite subject ;)

 

such sweet goodness

This week I was able to accomplish a good bit, particularly on the weekend. I created a page in my 'long lost' art journal.

I made this art journal almost two years ago and was adding to it slowly. However, it got put in a drawer and forgotten. Now it's 'found' and my goal is to complete the rest of the blank pages.

 

  I was able to complete two felt hearts in hoops which I stitched/embroidered/sequined/beaded. Woohoo! So much fun!

  A nice change up from painting/drawing...a little change is always good for the brain.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!

Getting Lost on a Winter's Day

This past weekend I created the journal page [below]
in response to a prompt by Artsyville. 
The prompt was to "Choose a language you know
nothing about. Look up the numbers
from 1-10. Find the words for
ART and LOVE.
Listen to a song. Observe how the letters
or characters flow. Wrap yourself in the unfamiliarity."

The idea for the blue design came from a post card that

I saw online which had a photograph of Slovak embroidery.

I tried to match it closely but then saw a cover

for a book dedicated to fireplace tile design (!)
and switched to copying that! Of course, I had to

look further into the folk art and there

were some fabulous books on art, crafts and

native costumes. The craftmanship is astounding!
 

 

The hearts were so much fun to do.

Drawing them is just getting me into
practice for Valentine's Day,

which will be here before we know it.

Why does it feel like time is absolutely flying by?

I've also got myself an new amaryllis after

I accidently killed the other one!

    

 

I left it in the direct sun light and it just killed the

poor thing. What a brown thumb I have. Anyway,

this new one is doing well in the corner of the

room and so I've been studying, drawing

and painting the lovely thing.
 

Have you got

any bulbs growing now?

Hope things are going well for everyone.
Take care and be well!

P.S. Remember to visit Artsyville to get those
"GET LOST" prompts:)
