Random


I had this grand vision of how my afternoon would go. I wanted to come home and make fabric bowls using balloons as the mold. Then I thought I would sew some mixed media fabric hearts. Well THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! I started researching the bowls and thought this might take me the rest of the night to produce one. So, being someone who enjoys instant gratification I decided to forego the fabric bowls and work on this easy, less time consuming wine cork pendant project. I had a large container of random buttons. Couldn't find it. So after searching and searching I finally found something that would work. Not only do I need instant gratification, I have to KNOW where things are if I think I KNOW where things are and can't locate them. You following me?? Once I completed this project I decided to continue on and see what else I could get into.


I had some canvas pieces and decided to randomly paint a variety of colors onto the fabric. I always seem to enjoy this chaos of color. Once it dried I thought I would attempt some fabric beads.



Once the paint dried I decided to add a little touch of fun. Not entirely sure what to do with it at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. From here I went on to painting something else.


Deciding to still employ the same painting method I turned my efforts to old cds. And this is where I stopped.  I don't have any concrete plans for these. Help me find a purpose for these things, I'm tired of having unfinished projects here. Pretty sure Lance would like me to finish a few things too.

  1. Ironically, my post for this same date on A Month of Days was also titled "Random". Hmmmmmm

    Love the projects. They have lots of potential. The fabric bead is awesome and you could make earrings or a bracelet - or any jewelry item with it. How long did it take to make (once the fabric was painted and dry)?

    The CDs look like great bases for collage or additional painting.
