Jane Austen’s Birthday Blogfest

by Lynda Shoupupdated on January 29, 2018December 16, 2017

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!  I have been obsessive about Jane Austen’s works for some time. If you know me well, you are likely to know this. Though I have neglected to invite people to attend, I have prepared a party, of sorts, in her honor.  Upon hearing my plan, my daughter offered the loan of …

Recycling Silk Threads into New Yarn

by Lynda Shoupupdated on January 29, 2018November 19, 20176 Comments on Recycling Silk Threads into New Yarn

I’m wondering if this should be the first in a series of posts about how I recycle things most people would throw away. I mean, you probably would. Me? I just can’t let go of certain kinds of materials.  Point in case – these silk threads.  I have been saving them for years. At first, …

  • Realized I never posted this! Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. #christmastree #decorating #merrychristmas #pinkandwhite
  • Stacks of paper everywhere! This is a stack of mixed paper - paper to print on and paper masks to print with. Finished prints are in a pile to make into journals. Stacks of preselected papers grouped together for binding. And that’s the tip of the iceberg. I won’t even address the stacks of fabric laying about here… I see a lot of finishing things in my future. #paper #papercrafts #paperartist #paperlover #monoprinting #gelliprint #stacks #artiststacks #artistsoninstagram #studio #studiochaos #creativeprocess
  • On the top of my work basket. This is a wonderful commission for multiple patches. Stitching labyrinths also serve as meditation. #labyrinth #embroidery#meditativestitching #meditativestitching #stitchbystitch #patches #embellishment #pink
  • Gelli printing has taken over my desk space lately. So has random junk mail. So I combined the two. Those catalogs that come unbidden are now serving as the medium for my hand ripped “stencils”. Monoprinting celebrates the unique print. Paper stencils have a fairly short life span. So I get the prints I get and then move on. It yields beautiful stacks of prints, reduce refuse to get rid of and the remains of those stencils covered in multi colored splendor. I plan to incorporate them into more artwork. Watch and see. #monoprinting #printing #selfmade #stencils #tornpaper #recycle #reuse #reimagine #useitup #makesomethingoutofnothing #towardszerowaste #makersgonnamake #makermovement
  • Making ribbon rosettes in preparation for the Jane Austen’s birthday extravaganza on December 16th. I’m hosting this event/class on the @making_co app. Seeing it develop as each layer is added is so gratifying. We will be playing some Austen related games and I will be teaching how to make the ribbon rosettes. #JaneAusten #janeausten #ribbon #ribbons #rosettes #regency #regencystyle #makersgonnamake #makermovement
  • It’s been more than a week now. Didn’t think I would post about this. But @sirfernly has crossed the rainbow bridge. I am shattered. I find myself tearing up in the produce section, wanting to have him sit by my side, and thinking about checking his water. Amongst this sadness my wonderful cousins @angelvegan and @hollarious2 sent us this memorial ornament and that touched me deeply. Sometimes it is something unexpected that starts us healing. A big thank you to Dr. Lawrence at Agape Animal Hospital for his expertise in rabbit care. Bink free, Fern.
