Smile: A Random Act of Joy

Every time I visit Mia Bloom's Blog "Graffiti Inspirations", ,http://graffitiinspirations.blogspot.com/, I can't help but smile and have a nice, warm, good feeling come over me.  She is painting inspirational words on canvas board and leaving these around town.  Whoever finds them, is fortunate, indeed.  As a result of the impact that her work has had on me, I figure that if more folks smiled when going about their daily lives, that kind of good feeling might be contagious.

Some scraps of card stock lay in my work table and beckoned to be used rather than tossed into the trash.  Unlike Mia's works, these are not art.  They are merely little words that may elicit a smile from those who find them tucked on shelves, on tables, on park benches or at bus stops across the city.

More Stitched Post Cards

When not at the sewing maching making textile and fiber art pieces or at the sink dying fabric or drafting new designs, I might be found creating one of a kind ACEOs (Art Cards Editions and Originals) or painted, collaged, embossed and stitched post cards. Here is a link to a Roxio slide show of some of my most recent creations. Often these become the inspiration for larger works of art in fiber.

More Stitched Post Cards

A busy day has not provided time to be immersed into a quilting project, but I couldn't keep my hands off of the sewing machine, so I stitched a couple of 4"x6" post cards.

Also experimented with incorporating a few images from my brochure into a post card.
