RUST RUST RUST !!!!!!
I love it, I did 3 pieces and took 11 pics ,I like them all so much could't choose which ones to post so posted them all... LOL
The green pieces I unwrapped only after a few days, should have left it longer, so I thought I would try some color on it, I used, some water down acrylic paint blues and green and some green koolaid and a few teaspoons of green Tintex fabric dye. I put in in a small bowl and put a small plate on it so it would all be submerged and left it over night.
I really didn't like it till I saw it in the pics I took...
It looks like the beginning of a underwater scene :):)
One piece is a cotton bag we used to get our Cream of Wheat bag at work, I took one home hoping to use it one day..
I flip them all over to see how each side looks...
I love this processe it always a surprise when you unwrap it and the look is so cool, I could see cutting up large pieces and making a patched skirt out of them..
I'm going to do a lot of these so if anyone is interested in purchasing one they are around 52cm by 77cm for 20 pounds or 40 dollars, I'm new at selling so forgive me if this isn't worded right:):)
OK this will be my last posting for a little while.. I'm going on holidays for 2 weeks, but you can be sure if I'm near a computer I'll just have to come and check on all my friends, and yes I'll be talking about you, telling them all about all the lovely creative people I have met on line..... I'll be thinking of you all..
I'm going to a family Reunion our 45th one, then visiting my DB in Espanola Ont. a visit to my favorite place in Canada, Manitoulin Island on Lake Huron.
Then to my DS cottage on the French River, who by the way stays there from May till Oct..
Take care of yourselves talk to you soon...

My Niece Kimberly, called me right after Coranation Street and invited me out for Dim Sum, isn't she sweet.. We caught up on whats been happening, had a fabulous lunch... We don't see each other often enough so its special when we do get together... 

Kim was taking a pic of herself on her fancy phone so snaped a quick on of her... 

We went to our favorite place in Missasaga, about 45 min drive, but oh so worth it. 

Pagoda beside the pond, it was packed there, great place to shop for asian foods, nicknacks,no material though whaaaa..  

beautiful statue in the gold fish pond. 

Wellll, I have a big ball ofof the new fancy yarn, I bought it cause it is purple and green, I wanted to make a tasalle for my mask, too much you say, not for me so I added it to the side, love it know:):) close up below.. 

I really like it now. and HEY I made it my favorite colors, Green and Purple, just thought I can enter it in our group challenge.... 

Was going swimming for the last time for a 2 weeks, I'll miss it, my friend Shiela ( the one who knitted my lovely scarf ) came with me. It had been thurndering a lightning for a bit before we left... 

This is what it looked like when we got out side, the clouds were gathering, hope it starts soon, or we'll miss it while swimming:(:(:( 

This is what it looked like when we got to the pool... 

When we got out of swimming it still hadn't rained, we waited for the bus for half an hour and this is how the sky changed. It started to sprinkle, finally got to get a little wet while waiting:):):) 

My Mardi Gras mask.... 

I got my mask finished for our family reunion, the theme this year is Mardi Gras, and our french name means tom cat.. So I made a Cat of Hearts.. I did the face with felt and organza tec., then added lace. beads, ribbons, feathers, some gold whiskers... 

I used a peacock feather, the long ones are pheasant, the small ones are from my friends parrot..
