All Blessings Flow
When I began to think about compositions for the Flow of Water theme, my first thoughts were of the beach, the ocean, and the sunset. Even though I live in Florida, I miss all that. It’s not often that I get there! I decided to brainstorm a bit, as I
What Lies Beneath
The life that exists in water can differ, dependent upon the flow, speed, acidity, temperature, clarity, depth, freshness, impurities, irritants, dissolved salts, time of year, tides, weather events, light levels, pollutants, total biomass – so many variables give rise to so many possibilities. Much of the time, we humans cannot,
Flowing in water
Thank you for your wonderful writing and photos about Water. Too much water can be a threat, and too little water can make life difficult, but can also sometimes show us beautiful scenery. I thought the theme would be flowing water, but then I noticed a small landscape reflected in
THE FLOW OF WATER
I racked my brain trying to come up with an idea for this prompt! I used my hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario for my musings and could not get the Falls off my mind. So I started playing with water and fabric and hoped that something would happen. First I

Every now and then, I take them out, fondle them, make color combinations and arrangements, maybe even use a
And the Colours Changed… here and there, a bit of play!
And the Colours Changed – here and there, a bit of play, 4-6 CIC, Bethany Garner WET FELTING/Flat Dyeing has been my focus this spring into “almost summer”, so the opportunity to bring the ‘artwork play’ into a created, somewhat dimensional art quilt was great good fun! Playful determination
Galaxy
This time we are concerned with the change of color. A great challenge! As everyone knows, black and white are not colors. All the paint has disappeared from the white and black is so saturated that you can’t recognize other colors. White represents clarity, purity, snow, cold, enlightenment, and faith.
Change of Colour
What could be more fun than living in a colourful house! We have all seen the colourful houses on the slanted streets of San Francisco or the brightly painted houses in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Living in the Niagara Area, we too have our “Painted Ladies” . This historic neighborhood
