August already!

Can you believe that it's August tomorrow?

As you know I am following along with Valerie Sjodin's Plan With Me.  My pages are ready for August.

I love the washi tape I bought.

I may add some stencilling later in the month.

Venice. And why not?

As I mentioned in this blogpost, I was inspired to use Amanda's method and make something that was more me.

You know I work on Venice inspired pieces all the time and I had lots of leftover bits of printed fabric from previous work.  The added bonus was that they all had Bondaweb or Mistyfuse ironed on the back.

I laid some of the pieces randomly on the backing fabric which is a fine calico.

Then I ironed them onto the backing fabric.

I started stitching.  With the seascape I started at one end and kept going to the other end, but this time I stitched in more random places.

I'm not quite sure what stitches I shall use.  I might need to look some up in a book.

Circles

This month's theme for the photographic group was circles.   Yet another month has passed with me not going out much so my contribution yet again came from the archives.
