Here are more watercolor papers that I painted with left over dye from snow dyeing last week.  The dye still works great on paper.   I may do a few more sheets, but it’s really time that I stop making materials and start making art.  I easily divert myself and then realize time is going by and I need some focus.

While cleaning up my dye/paint area, I saw a lot of interesting looking dried up paper towels in the trash.  I started pulling them out.

I started weeding through them, as some of the towels look good.  Oh my gosh, I’ve now been reduced to picking my own garbage for paper towels.

Can you believe that I actually ironed some of these to keep?  At times I think I’ve lost my mind.  Even so, look at that turquoise/blue sheet.  That color is popping.  It seems I should be able to do something with it other than it sitting in a pile.  My friend Beryl makes fabric paper.  I suspect I can try her method and use paper towels in place of other papers.  Maybe I’ll bring it all over her house and play.

I also did make a 12″ quilted square for a quilt being made for a friend as a surprise, a birthday surprise of sorts.  I want to show it here because it came out pretty, but I’ll wait just in case she reads this blog and figures it out!  At least I got some stitching finished and am not just confined to pushing pixels all day and ironing paper towels at night.  I need to get out more.
