New Dots!

New Dots!

I started a new diamond dot project, today, or I should say, yesterday, because it’s 12:30am.

I chose a Christmas themed painting, so maybe I can finish it by Christmas (2029!)

This is what I call a “long haul” painting because every inch is covered with dots. My friend, Laura likes these types best. I prefer the printed designs that you embellish with rhinestone dots, especially some that are unique shapes and finishes. I’m starting at the bottom of this print. I’ll probably, then, move to the top, and save the camels and wise men for last.

Another Harvest!

Another Harvest!

Tonight, I finished harvesting this 2022 Hammacher Schlemmer Christmas catalog.

The Hammacher Schlemmer is one of the absolute best for harvesting images! The catalog can be requested for free! I got this many images:

I have sorted them by size and shape. One category is words. I store them in different size baggies.

There was something usable on every single page, including the covers.

What a great choo choo on the front!

Two small finishes equals a big one

Two small finishes equals a big one

Finish #1: I drove us home from Charlotte. Finish #2 I sorted all the magazines and catalogs in the den. I was looking for Christmas issues and found this gem:

Some of the ideas in this issue were very dated, and it took me a while to find a date of publication. 2003. I still like this idea, though:

I just realized I had another finish. I got some ribbon yarn in the mail to Patricia Carmichael (PMartist Studio) to use in her current mixed media project. I wish I’d had enough sense to take a photograph!
