the artist's way

lots of creativity going on at 846 & 1/2 which is what i call my art studio. 
this embroidery (in progress) was inspired by melodie stacey aka maidolls. i love both her embroidery and her paintings. 
this little darling is a flipped transfer from a teabag just rubbed on while still wet onto a puece if wrapping paper
just a groovy watercolor face in my art journal
more stitching
i've been finding old pieces and adding or subtracting and finally framing a few
as in this applique
mixed media handstitched necklaces
and a gabdstitched cuff
it's been fun re finding my art in boxes that had been in storage during the mexico sojourn. 
every day i stop for a little sketch or something or other. mopping the floor doesn't quite define me. 

there's always some stitching going on. the thing is to finish quite a few works in progress. then there's the what do i do with them? 
tiny
scribbles and dibbles
