What Goes Around, Comes Around

Finally some art on this blog again after a week of mainly photographs, and without many words. I have several deadlines that I need to meet and also 2 quilts to finish that have lingered in the studio so long that I'm getting fed up with the sight of them. I know that in order not to lose my momentum they need to be cleared of the table. I finished one yesterday, and photographed it this morning and the other one is getting the binding put on today and then needs some beading. The end is in sight!

Large slices of the day are taken up with dog walking and playing so it's only when Flora takes a nap that work gets done. I am loving our dog walks in Penicuik Estate and playing with her is a joy so I don't begrudge any of it and simply enjoy the moments.

It is also good though to cross some stuff of my To Do list (only to add something else!) and this is my contribution to the prompt on Joggles Art Journal Adventures that read: include curvy or round elements. I'm in my element when I use circles so the choice wasn't hard.

The background was done with the following stencils from The Crafters Workshop: TCW2024 Rubber Bands Frags, TCW278s Mini Circle Explosion (designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer), TCW2038 TinyRing Bits (also by Julie) and TCW426 Cut Circles.

|I then punched out circles from a pink previously gelli plate printed sheet of paper and collaged that into the centre of the circles, and outlined it with water soluble oil pastels. I stamped on the quotation: What goes around, comes around. It envelops the feeling of karma.
