Work in Progress ~ Week 5



I am not sure if this is week 5 or week 6?  Ha!  I am on my laptop so timing is off for me.  I am traveling to Ohio to see my mom; but I wanted to share my progress.  I had a good week....except for the other night when I ended up in the ER with severe abdominal pain.  I am okay now...just a little bleary eyed!!!  No reason found for the severe pain though!  So have to see regular doc when I get back home.

So here are some overall pics of piece so far...







Now for some close ups and details...

copper wire with beads, circular organic shapes, vintage buttons, light blue vintage flocked ribbon

laser cut line green paper,  paper napkins,  blue beads and grommet ribbon


More details...

some close ups of tiled area

I used a lot of vintage ribbons and papers on this one.  I think I mentioned before that I was very happy to find these papers in my stash.  Nice to be able to match them up!!  Whew!!

Now some extreme close ups of the tiled areas.  I used ceramic pieces and glass tiles and my grout is 11mm yellow and blue iridescent seed beads.

I hope you enjoyed my latest pics of the piece.  I am almost done.  I was hoping to finish before I leave but guess it will have to wait on me to return. 

My housekeeper is watching my house for me so that is a worry taken off my mind.  Plus, the bonus is that it will be cleaned and sparkling when I return!!!  I love it!  A win win for sure!!

Going to see my 83 year old mama!!  I am so excited and so is she.  It has been one year!!

Have a blessed and magical day!
Hugging you
SueAnn

Sue Ann, I love this! It's interesting to look at the overall picture and not realize the details, and then see them jump off the canvas one at a time as you explain what you used to create it. Makes you look at again in a whole new light.

The color choices are fantastic, and so vibrant.

I've been MIA, so didn't know you were feeling bad. I'll put you on my prayer list.

Have a safe trip.

I hope you and your mother have a wonderful visit!! I haven't seen my oldest daughter in a year (and three days!) either and I miss her bunches!!!!

Sorry you had an ER visit. I hope you will be OK and pain-free now!! How weird that they couldn't find anything. Where's Dr. House when you need him?? LOL!

Very pretty and interesting art! Looking forward to seeing the finished work!

"No reason found..." That always sends me to my font of all knowledge Google. Seriously, I hope you are OK and this was just a 1 time weird occurance. Clearly it isn't keeping you down.
