Hello March


The calendar says it's March, but the rain and the 

chill in the air reminds me it's not 

quite Spring which gives me some time to work on 

a few more wearables for those future warmer days!





Thoughts of spring have inspired me to work with yarns and 

threads of linen and cotton.

(Although, the cozy wools still feel more comfy to me right now. )








This shawl is the Queen Anne Shawl and was a lovely pattern 

to work up, especially with linen. 

You can find the pattern HERE

I enjoyed it so much I'm thinking of crocheting another one in a 

different color. 




...and just a sneak peek of another Springtime shawl I'm working on that's 

crocheted with cotton.  

I've really been enjoying making shawls for those beautiful spring like days with sun yet you still 

need a little "touch of Cozy" in the shade. :-) 




Speaking of cozy...

Lucy does it right!

Beautiful shawl!
We had a wonderful warm day today, the first one, lunch on the bench in the garden; the world suddenly looks so much better :-)

Pretty! I think you'd also like the crocheted Queen Anne Scarf. Sure am glad you're not headed to Baltimore this week. I'll take rain over snow any day!

Hmm, I'm thinking I may have to do some spring shopping. Will you be selling your linen/cotton creations on Etsy? Beautiful work, as always. And Lucy is just so darn cute!

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

Creating Art with Tea Bags

Image
As summer approaches and the sunshine is plentiful here in the  desert southwest, I drink a lot of this... Making sun tea here only takes a short time. I've been using 6 regular size tea bags for the above container. (I like a pretty strong flavor)  You can add sugar or not, I enjoy it with a little mint leaves & lemon and  sometimes an added sweetener.  I started having so many tea bags and I've seen my friend Kimmie   create art with them, so I thought I'd give it a try!  I just let the bags completely dry,  remove the tag & staple then open them up carefully and empty the tea. Open the bags at the seam line and this is what you have,  beautifully tea stained papers for collage, sewing, etc.  Here, I used old dictionary book paper to create my flower design on water color paper.  I painted the flowers with watercolors.  Collaged torn tea bags onto the background, then stitched around  each flower for dimension.  This book mark I made using water
