So You Didn't Get The Humor Today, Huh?

I thought I would have gotten all kinds of comments about my Jessica Rabbit yesterday.  Remember?  She is the ex-wife of Roger Rabbit.

No?  Not a funny day?  I had a whole rant about all the parents lately who seem to be not watching their children.  Such tragic things involving kids and animals.  It only takes a split second, and cell phones and texting seeem to take up so much of our attneion.  I am not saying this was the cause in either of the cases, but just an observation.  It seems more prevalent now, both children getting in trouble and cell phone blindness.

So.

I have a Fiber Meeting tonight.  Theme is Words.



Here is my project.  Multiple titles come to mind.  Wordless, speechless, conversation, talkative.

What else?

Off the Wall Friday

My life has been un-inspired lately.  I have been concentrating on, well, not much.   But I was at my Fiber Group on Wednesday night and complained of the same thing.  Several others said the same thing, ennui seems to be everywhere in the artsy world down here.

As luck would have it, the next word on our theme list is "inspiration".  

At the meeting, they always inspire me!


 Judy suggested I scan my zen doodle piece and create fabric with it.  (Why don't I think of these things myself??)  So I did just that.

And now I have my next month's project to work on!

Hey, Nina-Marie, I am sending everyone your way to see what everyone else has thought of before me too!

Click here  Off the Wall! 

Nina-Marie used a photo from the Wizard of Oz.  A great movie.  In fact, my mother named me after the Glenda, Good Witch. 

Then she persecuted me all my life for having stringy thin straight hair and hating pink fluffy dresses. 

Ah, sorry mom! 

Off the Wall Friday

Linking up with the Off the Wall Friday gang at  (Click here to see creativity at its best!)

I have my Fiber Group next week.  I am trying to figure out how to bind it so I am in the "thinking" phase.

The Challenge Theme was "curves".  When I was at QuiltCon in February with Patty the Quilt Lady, we came across a booth that had some fabulous screens for screen printing.  I have not had a chance to us them yet, so I pulled them out.


Of course, I broke some of the rules.

I had a bottle of Inkodye which is sunlight reactive.  It starts out milky creamy white, and turns out to be, in this case, blue.  The amount of sunlight depends on the darkness of the print.  I just left it out hanging because the first afternoon I put it out there was no sun.

Of course I didn't consider the sun when I decided to do this.

I love the colors of dark blue and beige together.  I pulled out some of Frank's old dockers and used them in block colors.  I added some circles of metal that came from a belt full of them I picked up at The Purple Cow one afternoon for 99 Cents.  I also added some sample squares from a pile of stuff Carrie brought to me when they cleaned out their sample books.  These are linen pieces and so lovely.



When my hair dryer died I took it apart.  I knew those pieces would come in handy one day!  


 I used a firm pellon to give it some firmness as an art piece.   But now I need to decide how to bind it.  

I like it.  Do you?

Wallpaper and Fiber Arts

I went to my Fiber Art Group tonight and saw some fantastical stuff.  I am rubbing elbows with some talented folks.    Check out the Fiber group post from my side panel on my blog page. 

Earlier today I went to the Bonnie Hunter (like) Group this morning and got some hexie flowers made. 

And I scraped off some wallpaper!  I now have two walls completely done.  And like 8 more to do.  Not that the bath is that large, but it is a pretty good sized room.  Lots of walls. 

Suzette, you wouldn't recognize the place!

Fiber Group Rocks

Well, there were only two of us who actually presented a Rocks piece.  They all liked my Serenity Rocks! piece. It was a win. The heart rock was a photo BeBe's husband took in Yosemite National Park.  She manipulated it in Photoshop and brought in colors similar to the photo.




Each of  the four members who went to the Houston Show brought their incredible purchases to show.  Michael loves the silks and kimono linens.  He finds incredible pieces that no one else can.  His incredible sense of fabric and color and design have opened a new world of fabric creation for him.  It will be an amazing journey.

After I got home from the meeting, I spent about an hour cutting out groups of scraps  for the arcs of a new scrappy quilt.  I am excited about this new quilt, I can't wait to start working on it.......this afternoon maybe.........like I have NOTHING else to do!  I will post this afternoon about my process.

Mary brought me some bolts of black and grey.  This is my thought process.  It is November.  My Stash numbers are already blown to smithereens in the wrong direction.  The numbers will reset in January to ZERO.  Zip.  Goose Egg.

So why not get it all in now!

So I did!

Well.......I Did Something Small Instead

I did quilt some today, in fact I did my May Challenge project for the Fiber Group.  Itwas supposed to be something with text.

I set out to work with these shirts:









And had an idea from the internet to make a piece that had a saying from Star Wars on it.  Why I chose a fork I will never know, but it turned out fabulously.


And those shirts ended up to be a really cool piece!

Not much fabric used on these small pieces, but they sure are fun!
