Zue said...: Thank you for the tour. I really enjoyed looking at your photos.

You asked how I do so much in a day. I have a few secrets:
Not everything gets finished right away and I do little and often with several little projects on the go all the time.
I seldom plan what I am going to make and just make stuff with what is lying around.

I have thousands of bits and pieces lying around, so there is always inspiration available to set me off.

No constraints and trying new techniques is another reason why I do so much..., If I want to try something, I just have to do it there and then.
I do not go out to work everyday.. .and I have no commitments or resposibilities except to feed David and the cat.

Hope that helps to answer your question..

Have a great week.

Zue said...: Hi
I forgot to say....the melty stuff is household packaging. I used yoghurt pots, paper flowers and embossing powders and melted them down on a baking sheet on my electric cooker.

It gets very smelly and I fear the fumes coming off may be toxic, so I don't recommend it as a technique that anyone should follow. But when I see this stuff going out to recycling I feel the need to make things with it. The next plan is jewellery from the waste bin.

Bleubeard and I welcome you

Art, including the journey, background techniques, sewing on both paper and fabric, new experiments, photos, failures, and successes will be shared on this site. I have removed my e-mail address until such time as I can get it to work again. Thank you for understanding. You can always leave a note on my blog and I will visit you.

Please check out my Previous Collaborations link above to see what projects I have been involved in over the past 12 years. Current and ongoing projects only are shown below.

Occasionally, Silent Sunday will showcase photos of my home, neighborhood, or community. A picture is often worth a thousand words.

Feel free to drop by every second Thursday of the month for my Second Thursday Tutorials. They are interspersed with my other Tutorials found at the link page above.
