More is more

This is the applique project that I haven’t been working on (see my previous post titled “OPPOSITES”).

dsc00064

I’m going with the “MORE IS MORE” theory of applique.  It’s all fusible web, and everything’s just sitting there, whcih gets kind of interesting when the dog decides to walk in the door and check out what’s going on.

I have the term “millefiori” in my head, though I don’t think I’ll actually end up with a thousand flowers by the time I’m done.

I haven’t entirely figured out how I’m going to get from here on the floor (in the middle of the doorway) to having everything ironed on.  I’m kinda crazy that way.

I do miss my design wall.  I need one at home again, but there aren’t enough hours in the day.

I pieced the top a year or more ago, if I could find the original post I’d link to itbut since I’m NOT getting a cold…well, you get the picture.  Originally I was going to hand applique…soemthing…don’t remember what exactly.  It was going to be all pinks and lime greens, but a few months ago I pulled htis out and threw some oranges and teals on the pile of fabrics.

Last night I pulled some MORE orange, and yellow and pink and green and started fusing.  Nearly everything’s been cut out freehand, I’ve drawn a few things, but I’m just making it all up as I go along.

It might end up looking like somebody puked a rainbow on it, but maybe not.

    These are the type of projects I fuse on the floor. That’s carpet right? I lay everything out — and hit everything with the iron to get it stuck and then take it to my ironing board to finish fusing it all down.

    I can see why you got diverted! I love this incarnation of what I call “Suzanne’s heart”.

This is my reminder that a good artist never blames her tools, but it sure is nice having really great tools. (I got Pfeil palm set C, plus one extra) #carvedecember #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365

Instagram post 2196566338359576256_15732201 My people wanted new socks for our upcoming ski trip, so I found some @darntoughvermont ski socks big enough for their giant feet! The XxL have padding on the shin, marks XL socks have padding in the top of the foot, too. (He wears a 14, my other people wear a size 16 shoe 🙃). I decided I needed a sock stamp. These socks are guaranteed for life! (Swipe to see the socks... bet you can’t guess which ones are mine, lol) #carvedecember #suzanne_365 #thepainteddiaries
Instagram post 2196129456853187803_15732201 Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. —Lois McMaster Bujold, my absolute favorite author, has been named a SFEA Grand Master. This is from her book A Civil Campaign.  I think about this concept a lot. For my #carvedecember carving, I meant the rays to be shallower, but I slipped. I’m also terrible at lining them up. #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365
Instagram post 2195863854498559253_15732201 The prompt was tea time, but I don’t do tea or coffee, so hot cocoa it was! I found this mug shortly after signing up for @everythingartuk’s Wanderlust 2020. While drinking and reading, I felt like I was being watched. I think he thought I had ice cream in my mug and was waiting for his turn. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetsmessy#getmessyartjournal #dailyhobbes

My intention was to do some more layering after it was dry, but I kinda like it like this, so I’m going to leave it for now! #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
