Nice books, especially the fabric bowl one!

I sent my thank you to TroubleT today and am hoping to work a bit on calluna's package this afternoon.

My awesome gift from chughes225!!!   She said she is new to this medium, but I think she must be joking.  It is gorgeous!






I also received my amazing fabric bowl from fishstix43.  Sorry about the dirty table outside.  I love the colors and the size and the shape and everything really!   Thank you very much.

OOooo, such prettiness!

I am avoiding those fabric bowls. Everyone that I know that has made one said that they are super addictive. I just can't give that craft a try. No more addictions for me...for now.

Beautiful gifts!

I can completely verify that making the fabric bowls is super addictive.  It's just so repetitive and calming; I imagine it's something like the pleasure that people get out of knitting, but with a much quicker completion time.    I'm glad you like yours Jen!

Is there a decent online tutorial somewhere?  In case I take the plunge..

This is the one I used:

I know there's also some YouTube videos on it if you're a visual sort of learner.

I'm so glad you like it.  Ive only been working with watercolor for about 6 months and I really enjoy it.  I really like the fabric bowl.  I'm going to have to look into making them too.

I'm hoping to mail out calluna's package tomorrow!

Happy Birthday, July peeps!   

I've been working on my claims and I think that I'm done now.      One thing needs to dry completely (should be by tomorrow sometime) before I can pack it up but then I should be able to mail out.
