First textile necklace

Dear friends,
This is my first textile necklace. a special thank you to a friend for sending me the beautiful textile beads which we swapped. I had to celebrate with them and made my first necklace. i would love another one made of similar beads I sent my friend. I love, love, love it and I am going to wear it to meet an online friend for the first time. How exciting making friends online. I have met one online friend so far and hope to meet another one at the end of the week. Lucky, lucky, lucky me.

lots of love from susan in australia

Altered book page celebrating 6th chakra

Dear friends,
This altered book / altered text page is celebrating winter, august and my 6th chakra. I took a tip from a friend to gesso the page add some paint and spritz with water then wipe off with a paper towel. I also did some other pages for my artist journal.
I am really enjoying doing the altered book and do a double spread each time I celebrate a new zippy time with my mental illness.
