Recent doodles, framed and ready

Based on the hymn: "To God Be the Glory"

Based on the chorus: "God is So Good"

Faith : some favorite references.


I recently been doodling some hymns and words. After writing the words in creative letter styles I then doodle around and hide them in the design.

2 hooked rugs - placemat size

These are my first 2 hooked rugs, a little larger than you standard placemat, 'tho' I may use them for placemats anyway. Tried some contrasting fabrics in this one.


CAUTION: Rug hooking can become habit forming. Now I'm working on one a little bigger. This is becoming a great way to use up some of that fabric that seems to be stuck in the stash and never used.

New projects

Just because there hasn't been anything new posted lately doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything. It's more like procrastination because uploading takes time that I'd rather spend creating things. :)
Here's my felted bowl after adding some bead embellishments.
I learned how to hook a rug yesterday and here's my rug so far, more like a placemat.

I've also been doing some art journaling and here's the latest spread.
I'd love some feed back so please leave a comment.
Blessings,
Vickie

Handmade Journal

Handmade Journal This is a handmade journal that started out as a Chex cereal box. The cover is a batik fabric with bead and button embellishments. The pages inside (signatures) were hand sewn using buttonhole thread. I'm taking an online class and our first assignment was to make our journal that we will use for future assignments.

Recent activity

I've been doing a lot of drawing lately. After a long day at school it is very relaxing to veg out on the sofa and just let my imagination lead my pen around.
I took a felting class this weekend and here's my bowl--so far. I'm planning on adding some beads, sequins, etc. to give it some character.
