At the start of one of my year long projects I always feel some hesitation and uncertainty and this year is no different. Even though I'm still doing basically the same thing the slight changes I make knock me out of my comfort zone, and that is a good thing. The change in colors has me rethinking how I'll get the leaf image on the square and I'm still trying to figure out how I will incorporate some mixed media stuff. I am loving fusing the stitched leaf to the felt and I have purchased three more colors of felt so I now have 52 squares ready for the year.
Week #2
This week I pulled out a fat quarter that I dyed and over dyed several years ago and put it aside.
I saw leaves, and that freed me up from making a decision on what and how I was going to print.
I ripped out this section. I am ripping the fabrics into 6 1/2inch squares because I love the soft fringy edges.
Finished, after lots of stitching!

Mini Gelli Prints #5-#11
I printed about three and half weeks worth of blocks one afternoon and had so much fun doing them that I forgot to take pictures. Next time I print I'll remember to have the camera with me and get some process photos.
