MAKING MUSHROOMS

I'm participating in this year's Fodder Challenge - a month of artists showing us different projects.

This first one, presented yesterday, uses powdered pigments.  I'd never heard of them and now am enamored of them.  They were great fun to use and I can see how they can add something wonderful to future projects.

 

MINI BLOCK CATCHUP

 I failed to make last week's Art East Quilting Mini-Block, the Mushroom, because I mis-cut a few pieces and gave up in frustration.

Today, I picked apart the pieces that were wrong, re-cut new pieces and sewed them on.  I was able to finish the block without having to start all over.  

Then, I could start on this week's mini-block, The Kiss.
