Last Saturday, 10/17, I cut pieces of muslin fabric in 5 x 7 or 4 x 6 sizes. I then painted and stamped and splashed and played all over them. I had the best time! I plan to use these in collage, books, etc. Not really sure what possibilities they have, but they sure were fun to do! I have a large stack of the cut fabric pieces and I can't wait to paint some more.
This evening I drew the 2-page spread below in my journal while my husband watched TV. I'm really enjoying working with the Prismacolor Art Stix - I love the bold strokes of color. In the upper left corner of the left hand page, I tried a zentangle - my first. I've seen them on blogs and wondered what it was all about and then I read an article about them in the most recent issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine. I need lots of practice obviously. I just couldn't get into it tonight. I've had a dull but annoying headache all day. I did enjoy the sketching though.
I hope everyone has a great week! I have a busy day coming up tomorrow! Happy Sunday evening everyone.

All that painting looks like a lot of fun. They would make some great journal covers. Thanks for sharing.
great sketches!!
Lovely sketches. They look like they were fun to do.
I love the cheerful colors! Very nice work!
I really like your sketchbook. That pot of tea looks very inviting.
That muslin thingy surely looks fun! I have forgotten how fun it is to do prints all over with random objects ^^ It's very interesting how they are able to create some interesting negative space and patterns.
Your journal pages are wonderful and I really like your fabric painting. Journal covers would be terrific, or pencil rolls, or both!
