flannel pants

Stayed up all night last night working on these pants then got up at noon started working again and just now at 10pm have them done.

Boy oh boy.

I did make a new pattern (third one) and much happier with the fit. Although, see that cool cuff...they are that much too long. Ha. At least they are not TOO SHORT!

I consider any project that isn't worn out when I'm done a success. Needless to say, the seam ripper is my best friend when sewing.

distress oxide texture

Created all this texture just by using a little spray bottle of water and my gelli plate tools, I really enjoy working with these new inks.

The blueprint sketch reminds me of mimeographs. Remember before teachers had copy machines? I always enjoyed the color but most the time they looked so washed out and faded it was depressing.  Yes I am that old.

Lucky this color is so rich and beautiful it just makes you happy.

Zentangle cards

Had some relaxation today doing some Zentangle reference cards. Tried to make sure the original artists names are visible. The card blanks are leftover from the floral tarot by mic. 

I already feel the fresh energy of the new year and look forward to it.

Tuesday Morning Haul

I found the Tim Holtz stamp thingy for only 12 bucks. The card blanks were very cheap for great card stock. My cousin gave me the paste and pearl ex. I need to watch a video to figure out how to do it. It all looks so marvelous and easy at the shows.

I can't stop eating the candy.

I'm tempted to redo the orange cards but trying to let it go. I like the new line up in the first picture.
