Craft Talk

I have been busily working in my craft studio the last couple of months on a few art projects. I haven't been crafting per se, but I have been creating. I wish I would remember to take pictures of my works in progress, but by the time I remember, it's too late and dark to take photos. Mostly I've been doing some watercolor and mixed-media pieces inspired by books and words. In particular, I am working on some mixed-media pieces based on some poems a friend of mine wrote. He asked me more than a year ago to make something creative inspired by his poetry. I have had the ideas spinning in my head and am trying to translate them into finished pieces. I am also working with an old book and re-creating the book with my own art inside. And I'm hoping to do a photo project inspired by a book I really enjoyed reading. But, none of this is easy to describe or explain. Mostly, I'm just glad to be spending time in my creative space.

I also had a few other tidbits I wanted to talk about. A friend asked me what kind of paper I used for my watercolor veggie cards I made. I wish I could say, but it's just a natural colored cardstock I got from the local letterpress company that was selling some leftover paper. Also, if you're interested in "my" fudge recipe, it is from Martha Stewart, so feel free to enjoy it, courtesy of the craft diva and her staff.

Of course, I have to include some photos of the last three baby hats I made in 2o11! More to come in 2012 I'm sure, though none in progress right now. Well, that's all for now.
