I have recently discovered Flickr.
You can upload a photo and then use some really neat filters to change the image.
I was really pleased with some photos I took at Whistler this weekend.
The photo of the Inukshuk came out looking really atmospheric after editing.

Beaded fabric pieces

Working on a few odd scraps of fabric I had already machine stitched and machine embroidered ... adding some tiny beads and tiny french knots .. I was aiming for the effect of water here.

Sorry two of the photos uploaded sideways !

Background is made up of strips of fabric stitched together with a wavy machine stitch.  I used different colour threads and also stitched down some lengths of a variegated blue yarn.

Collage sheets

It really was too hot to be outside today so I have been working on some more collage sheets ... and having fun in the process!

I am working on a few card ideas too ... using these little squares.... I will post some photos when I have them worked out.

....and more collage sheets of larger squares .... 2 1/4 inches square.

I made this square card using four of the 2 1/4 inch squares.

I have a craft punch which cuts out a square just under this size which proved useful here.

Added some pretty green paper, some white card and some narrow green ribbon.

Quite pleased how that came out ... will work on some more ideas tomorrow.
There must be endless ways you could use the squares to make cards and  gift tags.

I love the colours in this Ocean inspired treasury.

I love this artist's work ... such delightful, gentle humour.
