  • Another view of painting on fabric. I'm working in a larger size with these, mainly because I am thinking about the possibility of sewing them into something. It would be sad to run out of fabric. The larger surface is egging me on to make more sweeping brushstrokes and intuitive marks. I like this experience. #somanyprojects #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #expressive #creativeart #acrylic #acrylicpainting #painting #paint #intuitiveart #energy
  • Detail from a cuff. I love mixing materials, patterns, and making it vibrant. Ok, I love the more subtle pieces too. Still, this makes my heart sing. Yes, I like to mix multiple florals or stripes and polka dots. #cuff #layering #fiberart #fabriccuff #fabricaccessory # #fiberartist #handstitched # #embroidery #stitch #needlework #stitching

  • This one has been in my queue to post for a while. An art journal page done in my "seasons" journal. I love the way it emerged to be a landscape. So funny to think about how it looked nothing like a landscape when I started. This spread makes me feel peaceful so I love coming back to look at it from time to time. Do you have a piece like that? What draws you back? #journaling #artjournal #artjournaling #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #acrylic #journal #collage #collageart #collageartist
  • Fabric cuffs have been an obsession of mine for some time. They are such fun to stitch and can be embellished as much or as little as you please. If you know me, you know that I tend to embellish on the side of more. I have twelve of them listed on Etsy at the moment and I just keep on making them. #sewing #embroidery #needlework #stitching #fiberart #fiberartist #fiberartist #handwork #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #stitchbystitch #sew #handstitch #sewist # #isew #etsy #boho
  • I've been busy stitching up a storm. In fact, many of my stitches are now listed on my Etsy shop. Tomorrow I will post a picture or two of what I have been working on. If you want an advanced peek the link is in my profile. #etsyshop #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #boho #etsy #jewelry #accessories #bohofashion #bohostyle #handstitiching #slowstich #madebyhand #sewing #bracelet #sewist #stitchbystitch

  • Paint and fiber - I need them both. Sometimes the suggestion comes my way to choose between them. Nevahhhhh! Making things serves many purposes in my life. Whimsy, beauty, meditation, and release are among only a few functions making things has for me. Stitching is very meditative in my experience, but I don't have the sense of release I have when I am boldly adding paint to fabric or paper. Some mediums are portable. Some mediums are cathartic. Sometimes the process is mildly amusing. Whatever it is, it has a place in my world. If it is a tool for claiming my own power, for delight, for soothing or inspiration I say "yes, bring it on!" # #painting #paint #color #colorful #paintings #fiberarts #fiber #cloth #paintandstitch #myartwork #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram
  • Slow stitching. As the needle wends back and forth I am moved along with it. A meditative state comes over me interrupted only by the needle missing the fabric and stabbing my finger. A reminder to remain present in the moment. When I neglect stitching for too long I forget this feeling. Though I try so many other things to achieve this state it is only needle and thread or art journal that transports me here. #needlework #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #fiberartist #sewing #handwork #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #maker #stitch #creativelifehappylife #calledtobecreative #handstitching #sew #slowstitch #slowstitching #sewist #sewcialists #sewersgonnasew #sewandsew #isew #sewistsofinstagram
  • Art Journals. What can I say that I haven't already said? The longer I make art journals the more I feel their magic. The act of adding color or shape or even holes to a page creates such a feeling of calm in me. My cares tend to slip away from me. They may still be in the room, but they are not pressing me into the ground. #journals #artjournal #artjournaling #journal #journaling #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #collage #collageart #paperart #collageartist #paper #artistsofinstagram
  • Painting on fabric with the intention to sew is a different mindset. Sometimes I get wild and free with the paint and immerse myself in the moment. Then I have to figure out what to do with a piece that is larger than the projects I am making or shouldn't be cut up into the sizes required or is just as I want it to be. When that happens I have to remember that this is a miraculous moment. I just have to listen deeply and the perfect project will come my way. #mindset #positive #positivity #gratitude #lawofattraction #consciousness #manifest #paint #painting #painter #acrylic #expressive #canvas #artlife #paintings
