inviting juiciness

alright, alright, i know they're not juicy. i've got alot on my mind today and lost my mojo. so i can't produce the juice. and for those of u who don't know what i'm talking about, go get kelli perkins' new book, "stitch alchemy". it's all in there. but for those of u who know I'm doin a book study with Belinda Spiwak and mmartfriends, I gots no juice today. I put a watercolor wash on the cotton shirt remnant, colored pencil and ink pencil on the tulle, and permanent marker on that damn dryer sheet. scuse my french. that dryer sheet is still annoying me. I didn't juice up the denim cus I want to put acrylic paint on it, and I just didn't feel like dealing with acrylics today. I will go back later and actually make them juicy just not today. I worked on a bunch of stuff for my zines and some atc stuff. u know I'll share when i can but today i am just not feeling it at all. but i love youse guys, hope u have a creative weekend.

preview of new cirque? I have no idea, i just found it so it's new to me. lol

frustrated!!!

Yahoo won't let me post my first fabric paper results in my group album. grrrrrrrrr!!!! Okay, I know I've been around the dogs too long. Ah, well, anywho. Here are my first swatches. they are, snippets of paper and fabric on a cotton shirt remnant, a denim remnant, tulle front and back, and a fabric sheet. let me just say that the fabric sheet was annoying. And I think my best results came from the tulle. Also let me go ahead and admit that I did the process WRONG!!!!! remember earlier when I was working on Violettes' "Crazy quilt background page" Yeah, well the processes are similar and i must have forgotten I was working with fabric cus i totally laid a layer of tissue paper over the whole thing, so keep that in mind when ur wondering why you can't really see anything. anywho once again, these are the results, don't laugh

I received some really good news today. A lot of bad things have happened over the past decade. I have been a bit lost, aimlessly wandering about, now suddenly I am determined and focused. It's about bloody time. That's it ladies and gents, it's a new day, time for a new me. A positive change in the right direction. On my own path. I am soooo over following EVERYONES lead. What am I a pack horse? Nope, I'm me, I'm La, I'm new, I'm differant, and that's FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Lots of changes and happenings in the works, Watch for it!
