Pastel Painting - Beautiful Ladies
Very beautiful lady and the way she is tilting her head to the side. A new view to draw from I am stepping out of my comfort zone with this. I usually just do front/straight ahead portraits.

Labyrinth Visit While Traveling Through France April 2016
This is the world's famous Gothic Cathedral - Chartres!
This is the Labrynith inside the cathedral where pilgrimages were made hundreds of years ago, or tourists (like me) can walk in their own spiritual pilgrimage.
The Art of Natural Dye + Book Making - Another Finished Book!
Very happy with the end results of this art book. The pictures are not in order as completion but I will label each.
Stitching on bric brack to fancy up the plain yellow (tumeric dye) cover. Also added a flower shaped button and a green center bead, along with a chord.
Finished the hand sewing of the bric brac. Happy with the results.
Decided to add some tiny beading for additional jazz!
Finished the beading and decided to add beads to the wrap around chording.
Just so you know, I stitched in four signatures (page groups) of three pages each! A total of 48 pages to sketch on, write on, paint on, or just leave empty to enjoy the dyed paper appearance!
Here I am showing you a center page that has been sewed and knotted with the Japanese Stab Binding technique.
Here is a side view of the sewing technique. Hopefully you can see this well.
