At times I wonder if it is really acceptable for someone that is more than half a century old to be skipping through the house whilst going from place to place. Then I recognize how wonderful I feel when I am doing the cavorting. I look for an excuse to move again in that very playful fashion.
And so I decided I could put it down in writing ~ that reminder to take time to play. What better place than my "to do" altered book.
With the written reminder, I had focus. It took me a while to get to it, but finally more time to play ~ with paint and fabric.
These are all fat quarter size - about 18 inches by 22 inches in case you are not a quilter. Each of these is on flannelet - just happened to be the fabric I had along to the farm when I originally dyed light green colour. Should mention that I used a "plate" for each of these pieces. The first is my fave, I think, anyway at this moment.
I am uncertain about the next one. I do love the effects in particular places. I will be working with it much more.
Abstract flower with fuschia addition:
And this is another of my faves. It was the first one I did with the plate.
So I will leave you the reminder ~ do not forget to take time to play.
