Tomorrow I am leading a workshop on “leaf manipulation” which is all about abstracting foliage. I sat down and made 7 designs, and will probably make another 2 tonight.
So much fun! This is whenI love my life, when I get to do stuff like this, and actually, am forced to be creative by a deadline. My creative juices gear up near a deadline.
here are images of the techniques I will be talking about tomorrow (below). Oh, I like circles. See if you can “see” that obsession!

I will post some work soon, love that iris lilies.
Gorgeous display, IL! I love how the different leaf shapes are so different, yet complement each other!!
Can we do other artistic media? How about poems? I wrote this a long time ago.
I Kissed It
I was ironing the other day
And I found myself
Kissing
My son’s white T-shirt
Size 8
It was a silly thing to do
I did it anyway
I was wondering what to cook the other day
And I found myself
Kissing
A small rutabaga
It was a silly thing to do
Kissing a rutabaga
(Purply-waxy little thing!)
I looked around sheepishly
To be sure I was alone
And I kissed it
Some things make sense to kiss
You kiss a spouse
You kiss a cheek
Or two, if you’re in France
But there are things
So beautiful
So wonderful
So awe-inspiring
(To my eyes anyway)
That the desire to kiss them
Is irresistible and I…
Sshhh,,,
Just have to sneak a peck
A silly way (to be sure)
To simply say
Thank you

P_20180620_065159_LL.jpg I am working on this baby doll, and I changed the bottom of the clothing to be a ruffle, before it just folded over in an awkward ending. I also changed how I did the arms and created an opening to sew them into rather than just sewing them on a surface. I need to make the hat next, it looks like a fairy or gnome type. I have made a few of these before.

So cute, ZG! The little unicorn reminds me a little of Shari Lewis's "Lamb Chop" puppet. (Now I'm REALLY revealing my age!)
Those little dolls would make great baby gifts.

Catherine, Your poem made me smile. Thanks.
I used this for a Christmas card that I sent to my fellow ski patrol members a couple of years ago.
