i've been a bit enamored with fabric & sewing lately. well...maybe A LOT bit :) & it has been interesting figuring out where to go & what to do when i papercraft now. trying out some new techniques (actually not sure if they are "techniques" or just wack-a-do stuff...lol) but it is funny when i look at my layouts and then what i do when i sew stuff & there is a lot of similarities. i love the natural & textural look of linen & totally prefer to sew & create with it. usually i pair that up w/ a couple of patterns & colors, but always gravitate towards the linen/natural/neutral base. then looking at these layouts, seems like i do the same thing w/ papercrafting.
hmmm...interesting :)
oh & those rolled roses i'm seeing everywhere these days on t-shirts & clutches & necklaces...love those translated from fabric to layouts too. & tamar included some gorgeous chiffon in this collection. perfect for rolling roses i say :)
& i put on my dina wakely wannabe hat for this one. so pleased with how the spray ink turned out. i'm thinking i'm softening in my old age or something, but this one & it's haphazard spray marks outside the star mask (i used the negative from the die cut sheet in the collection) i'm actually liking. progress...lol
& this one w/ one of my fave, fave pics of me & my little buddyhead, ryan, when he was a little wee one. think i'm going to add some journaling to this one. when i did it, my mind was kind of mush, but now that the rush is gone, i want to sit & write a bit on it...in my own time :)
hope you all have a great weekend!!!
GO JETS!!!!!!!!!
