Another New Hobby
Well, I just got off the phone with the wonderful lady at Delectable Mountain Cloth. Once again, I've decided to embark on a new form of creating. I'm starting to think I have ADHD when it comes to Arts and Crafts. Or maybe I just have a shopping addiction. Anyway, I was working on ribbon flowers last week when I did an internet search for Candace Kling ribbon flowers. I was trying to get an idea for compositions. I didn't really find what I wanted but I did find Susan Elliot's Blog, Plays With Needles. She had attended one of Candace Klings's workshops and was blogging about it. Of course, I had to spend time perusing her blog and from there, I decided I might want to try some Crazy Quilting.
Crazy Quilting. It looked like it might be a good use for all my ribbons, ribbon flowers, lace, buttons, montees, fabrics, threads, etc.. So I ordered Allie Aller's Crazy Quilting book right away. I read the book, decided I could possibly create something and went back to Susan's blog to find the entry where she talked about the beautiful "small silk pieces assortment" that she received in the mail. That's what led me to Delectable Mountain Cloth. I should receive the bundle in the next few weeks and I will take it from there.
In the mean time, here are a few ribbon flowers and ribbons.

Mountain Bluebird
Trying to add a little bird photography to my portfolio. I really started taking photos just to have pictures for my own mixed media art; however, I find myself a little obsessed with creating good photos. Everyone has to start somewhere. I went out searching for Mountain Bluebirds near my home and found a few. They're much more beautiful than I can capture with my current skill level.

The Mind
I think creating digital art on Polyvore is taking up too much time and I should get back to some paint. It's just so addictive.
