From the Happy Heart pattern, Clover and Cleveland Hare	July 19-21, 2019 Three very hot days I made this patchwork bag while I stayed indoors
I completed this locker hooked rug 7/17/19	I painted a chicken with alcohol ink. I used as my guide this mug rug in the Spring 2019 Wool Works

June 2019

I went to Blick on 23 St. and bought some items. I got these droppers to use with my alcohol ink.

I found a small tile in a random box of craft items and painted it with alcohol ink. I wrote the Chinese word for Spring on it. I ordered some ribbons and fabric strips from Color Crazy and made the locker hooked design from one of her patterns.

I participated in the Rag Bag Gals sticks and stones amulet bag swap, I put my treasures on top of the Chinese symbol for double happiness.

Another patchwork bag

Received this notice.  I sent an email to the id asking what the difference was between fiber arts, mixed media and crafts.  I also asked who is the the Visual Arts Committee.  These distinctions seem arbitrary to me.

May 2, Holocaust Remembrance
This alcohol ink work I made in memory of Lori Gilbert Kaye who lost her life in the shooting at the Poway Synagogue.  The chief rabbi of that congregation said that the way to react to darkness is with light.

I've been experimenting with alcohol inks.  I had bought this Canson recycled paper that had a glossy side.  I decided to try the inks on it.  It doesn't work well, you can see on the reverse side the way the inks just got absorbed.  After I finished the page, I thought my Carmen Miranda singing stamp would look good on the yellow, so I stamped it using green ink.

April 25, 2018  At last I finished  the locker hooked basket for my dollies.  I embellished it with yo yos.  Spring was late, but at last it's here.

April 9, 2018 I made a pillowcase for the support pillow on my kitchen chair.

These are the irons I use.
