"Submit to daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door. Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there." Rumi
I'm almost 1/2 way through my 100 days of index cards and this almost every day creative practice has been a great project for these busy summer months. I especially love when the past art project I'm using is associated with such a good memory.
Three years ago while I was visiting Becky she invited her friend Suzy over and we had a craft day. It was memorable because Suzy had just retired from teaching and it would have been the first day of school. I played with a combination of watercolor and washi tape (decorative paper tape) and my experiment has been sitting in a bin ever since. Today a piece of it became card # 47.
I intended to stitch it on the card with my sewing machine and got all the way around before I realized there was no bobbin thread. So I made the best of it and slip stitched it by hand making good use of the holes. I actually like the effect and may do it again on purpose.
Here are a few photos from that craft session back in 2016. I just love a table full of color and crafting and I"m grateful for friends who like it too!
