 Welcome to my Muse for October 2019. In all fairness and openness and honesty, I am filming this at the end of August just FYI. Currently my Muse is all over the place to be perfectly honest and frank but we're going to try to focus on talking about one thing right now. So one thing right now and has been, since I moved, which is just shocking in a way to me, has been sewing. This is a wall hanging piece I did for a digital background exchange collaboration I'm doing with Bea Grob and Peg Robinson and Chelsea. I'll link the video for this in the description below. This was the summer collab and summer fabric, summer colors. And then I did one that was fall of course because we're doing it seasonally. After I did my art piece for this, which I will link, I'll put a picture of what I did with these right about here. I love the way it turned out it's hanging in the guest room at least at the moment. Does that mean it's not for sale? No. If you're all interested let me know. But after I did it, I thought how interesting would it be to print these fall backgrounds on some more fabric and maybe make some pumpkins with them. I think that would be a really cute way to do it is to print some of your favorite digital backgrounds on fabric and make something with them for your house or your space. Now something that doesn't need to be washed because although in the video I show how to sort of seal these so you can work with them, that doesn't mean they're waterproof. In fact they're not. I have an inkjet printer. I can guarantee you if you try to wash this it's going to run all over the place. But that doesn't mean you can't make cute little decorative pieces with it like these pumpkins. Again I'll put the video in the description below for these. You couldn't make a table runner with it. Again though you wouldn't want it to get wet or dirty because you can't clean it. You can make a little wall hanging with it. You can make a pencil bag with it. Something that doesn't need washing. But these little pumpkins would be so cute wouldn't they? So my muse is all right all about right now. She's all about exploring needle works and crafty things I haven't done in a while. Some embroidery right now. I'm all about Shibori embroidery. I just can't help myself watching the videos. So if I start doing that and some things you'll know why. If you do want to see what I get up to and you want to follow me on social media or support the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook art group so you can click on my link tree list of links in the description below and you'll find me all over the place. You'll find my social media links. You'll find my Etsy store and all that stuff. Any relevant links for things like creating these pumpkins are free here on YouTube and I will put the links down below. But I really am all about picking up the embroidery needles. Maybe the crochet hooks that's like on my mind at the moment. Making these little pumpkins which I hadn't made in years. I'm really all about revisiting the old and how can I work it into the new. Where can you take that this month? I would love to know. If you're part of my creative year let's start a discussion over there and let's share what you're doing. I would love to see and I'd love to see it especially in conjunction with our theme this month which is communication and our challenge which is perseverance. Yeah I was just having trouble reading my own writing sorry which is perseverance. I would love to see the two work together into a discussion. It is nearing the end of the year and wrapping up the year. It's been a lot of fun and bringing the old forward with the new and working it into our new space our new lives. I'm all about that. Taking in the old traditions and making new out of them it's a wonderful thing. So what can you do with that and where can you go with that? That's all about what I'm exploring right now and I would love to see what you do. Don't forget to like share and subscribe and check out those links they're in the description below. If you have any questions comments or concerns please leave them. I will reply I promise I check every day and the most important thing is to go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Have a happy Halloween everybody this month at the end of the month and I will see you later. Bye guys.
