2 in one day!

 ...new recycled (half) circles...
 ...I'm just really having fun with these!

 ...a going away gift for a friend at work...
 Ha! I'm the one going away, too!!!
 I love to read....reading is the best use of down time...I can't imagine a world without books...stories anyway...
...so I make bookmarks with my rejected art...gotta have one for each book =)

  1. Once you stop having fun with your half circles do you have any plans for them? They are so pretty.

  2. Thanks, Carole! I absolutely love the "recycled circles" Jane LaFazio created using cloth and paper (http://janeville.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2010-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=50) so I have been learning how to make them...

    I adjusted the technique a little while making a gift for a friend who collects bears-- I stopped short of making the full circle like Jane does; I think the half circles look like outstreached arms preaparing for a hug...so I'm calling them BEAR HUGS!
    I am building up my inventory of art quilts for an October show and I think these may work out well as a small wall hanging. Of course, if I give them away as quickly as I make them I'll end up with an empty table!! Thanks for the compliments =)
