Pick One, and Only One

I was at "art camp" this weekend.

We played art camp while her hubby Jeff went off to Beer Fest. We visited him on Saturday in Grass Valley and I had THE BEST polish dog ever, freshly barbequed from Lockeford Sausage outdoors on the grill, under the camo patio, but that is another story for another day.

We got into full art mode, playing with the Adirondack alcohol inks I picked up while in Bellingham visiting my mom a few days early.

I matched mine up with some paint chips I filched from our trip to Home Depot to get my mom some 2x4s for her wood scroll saw (also another story).

In all, I did 26 of these little pieces and I rocked out to the Beatles until 2 in the morning.

I will pick one and only one to feature on FB; if you want to see all of them, you will have to click through to my blog, here.

Enjoy! Which one do you like best?

SEWN Lanterns

I've made two lanterns so far. I had made all my painted pattern into sewn strips a couple of weeks ago and no time to make more paper, so I have been working my way through this inventory for the various projects.

The first lantern combines four panels of the strips with some punched circles from my paper stash to embellish each side. I used embroidery floss for the top hanger and strips of fabric for the things at the bottom that hang down. I coated the four sides with beeswax just to stiffen it up a bit.

The second lantern I made used an 8" square waxed panel I had made for another art project. I cut three more squares that same size and added a fifth square of the beeswax-coated paper to the top to keep the whole thing more square. Again, this one was coated all over with the beeswax. I used the sewn paper strips for the sides.
