Walena's ROD Book 1

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited about being ing this class. I love paper and fabric and have so much. This will be a perfect way to use them both. I have created two covers. I had so much fun with the first I did it again.

This was the first. Quite experimental but fun.



This is the second (my favorite)

I am now working on gathering and collecting for the pages on both. So far the whole project has been fun and look forward to time to work on it. Have to go back to work tomorrow :( So I am working on it a lot today.

Well everyone keep creating and posting!

Sewingly yours,
Walena

Resparking My Creative Flow

This is part of the True Colors Round Robin I am in. This is from the black/white and one color book. I choose Sepia as my other color. This rr has helped me get my creative flow back. I am trying to do art daily and of course have every excuse in the book. I love doing backgrounds and I have been trying to do one a day. Black and white is usually formal. I wanted it to be about mystery and love. I am trying to use all the things I have collected over the years. I have challenged myself to use what I have and buy less.

Dusting Off My Sewing Machine

Well, it has been awhile. I have been dabbling to awaken my creative juices. I participated in a fabric post card swap. The theme was "Colors of Fall". I jumped at this opportunity because Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love warm, rich colors. It took me awhile plan and compose. Of course, I waited until the last minute to get it together. I have sewn before, but never with art. I love it. I will be doing more. I think next I will try a small fabric book. One big step.... This weekend flew by. I wanted to go take some pics. It has been a mix between cool and warm weather here in Georgia. I will put this on my agenda for next week. I want to use my next tripod and play. I am about to get my classes together for Art and Soul Virginia. It must go in the mail tomorrow. I will be ready so I can get my first choices. I have not been to Art and Soul yet I am looking forward to it. I will also be going to Artfest. Spring is my other favorite season and I will be travelling to play. I cannot wait!!!! :)

First Posting

Well I have finally gone and done it :)

I signed up for a blog and into Flickr. No I just have to do my website. I will work on it tomorrow. I am not sure what to post just yet. I will do some practice. I definitely need to take some picks of myself. I do not have many. I am currently doing a Art Journal RR with my friend Shelia. This is what I have done so far
