Deciding

Welcome, it's been awhile.  Caught up in the midst of staying home, being careful. Not always the easiest to post when good vibes are not there.  I've Halloween put away, left up some fall foliage and a few turkey's for the Thanksgiving holiday, but the urge to start with Christmas decor is about to happen.  

I have been working with the canvas I posted below...maybe a journal, a wall hanging,  hand stitching, just not sure yet.  

We had some heavy ice a few weeks ago, I gathered up a few fallen branches that I thought might good for leaving natural, or painting white, to use as décor to hang seasonal ornaments etc.

Seems quite big, I've small areas but it has lots of possibilities with so many small branches

Would be great on a porch. 

Actually these 2 could be cut for vase like use... 

Kind of think this one will work for slimness, and cutting off a small amount at the bottom.   Find a container to maybe fill with larger stones to keep it upright.    I think my DH  is wondering about me. 

Maybe I'll just store until spring.  A bit cold out there today and temps dropping all the days forward.

Any of your ideas or suggestions could help me.    Stay Safe   Enjoy the weekend

PERFECT FIND

Welcome:

I was in disbelief when I took a walk to see what my DH was doing in his shop.

Well it's 70 some degrees the past few days and he was outside working on organizing some disguarded metals.   He had an old cot and was cutting the fabric from the metal form.

I arrived just in time to gather up all the light weight canvas and have him tell me "you are totally out of your mind" !! !  And only you who  "create" Mixed Media paper/fabric designs would understand. 

I was in AWE...no dying necessary, It was weather worn. His cutting it up had ragged edges! TRULY a PLUS in my book.  

I brought it in and washed it up. Let it air dry and this is what I ended up with.

I taped it to an old wooden ironing board for display.  And my plans will be to use it in a fabric journal.

It even has stitching !!!!   I'd say it was my LUCKY DAY.  He's still shaking his head !!!

Thanks for stopping by,
