Shopping Therapy!

Remember how distracted I felt on Sunday?

Well, I resolved it by going shopping! Nothing like being let loose in JoAnn's!

I bought a couple of stencils, fabric crayons, and spray paint for fabrics (who knew there was such a thing!).

I took it all home and just played. It was really fun. I think the "playing" that I did on previously painted fabric came out better than starting with plain white. I am trying to upload some images... but, thats another story.

I also watercolored some pages in my art journal.

Just to paint and get some pages ready for another day of gluing, writing, collaging was helpful.

New Guilty Pleasure

Ok... maybe its not exactly new. Its no secret that I love to shop for art supplies and I hate to shop for clothes. However, I must amend that. I love to shop for wool and cashmere sweaters that I will recycle at my local Goodwill store. What a surprise. Its pawing through racks of clothes (which I hate), but everytime I find a sweater... its like I hit the jackpot. Today I didnt even take all of the sweaters home that I found. But, I did hit the jackpot! A beautiful designer, spring green, cashmere sweater with cables everywhere. And, the cost? A mere $3.50!!! I am hooked. Now I will have to be brave and actually make something with it!
