Anyway, I have been working but slow and steady! The calendar girls pic for Febuary was chosen by Sandy and was a unicorn surrounded by bubbles. I decided to work with the texture of the bubbles and stitiched kunin felt to the background and zapped it to pull up the cotton calico. I then painted it with gesso and acrylics. I then beaded. I am pleased how it turned out.
This is an ATC I made for a purple and mustard swap on my group TC. I wanted to do a stuffed piece. I think this is not as successful as what was in my head but that is probably as I was so pushed for time.
Finally my finished piece from Lynda's workshop. I added punched out copper mesh that I annealed and beaded with tiny sed beads.
This is the inside - this is a reversable design.
and this is the outside with the amazing texture Lynda taught us!
I had such a great day and was so pleased to get my piece done, it is such eye candy! I have another started and when the easter holidays arrive I will be working on my next one.

Such interesting pieces... I love the great colors and the bubbles on the unicorn turned out wonderfully. I will surely be back to visit again.
Lovely work Carol and especially as your back is against the wall at present. Just love those bubbles.

So pleased you had time to fit in finishing it - looks really good.
Great interpretation of the unicorn, that was quite a difficult one.
Hope things are easing up a bit for you this week.
Teaching takes a lot of time and energy. I like what you have done.
Carol...these are all so amazing. You have managed to get so much texture in each of these pieces but all in a different, unique way. Impressive!
