We started out only creating with fabric...doing art wall hangings and quilts, clothing, and more. We have now expanded into creating with fabric, doing ATCs, making cards, hand dying fabric, etc. You name it, we are willing to try it.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had a workshop at Karen's to decorate eggs. She had a big bowl full of goose eggs for us. Jan and April started using a tool to blow the eggs out first, since we were planning to collage on them. We got two eggs done and decided it was going to take all day to blow them all out, so we just hard boiled the rest of them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our main object was to experiment with the media and see how different applications affected each other. For instance, what happens when you apply gesso to the tag as a first layer and then paint over it with acrylic paints as opposed to applying paint directly to the paper tag. Or how molding paste works over or under paint, or mixing paint in with the molding paste to color it before using the paste on the tag.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We were writing our "formulas" on the back side of the tag. Or at least we started at first but soon got into the fun of creating tags and just played.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I think everyone made at least half a dozen tags that they were happy with. They were pretty fun to make and everyone learned a bit and had a good time.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I can hardly believe it has been four years since any of us posted here. It was about the time that our Mary Fox was diagnosed with colon cancer and things changed. Mary and her husband moved to town, followed by Pinky who was newly widowed. Lucky that they were able to find new homes within a couple of blocks of each other.</span></span><br />

Unfortunately Mary wasn't able to enjoy it for long as she succumbed to the cancer in April 2017. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We were all devastated by losing Mary but are still getting together when we can, sharing memories and sharing art, laughing and crying together. Our friend Karen, pictured above behind the red gift bag, has been struggling with her own health issues and she and her husband are now moving closer to town. We won't be able to see her unless we go to her house. Which we will do! Gwen has started attending our get togethers again. She was one of the founding members, she dropped out for awhile but has time again to join us now and then. I'm going to start posting more often than once every four years, at least that is the plan. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We celebrated Mary's birthday on June 27th even though her birthday was June 3rd. We just couldn't find a day earlier where we could all get together until now. Mary didn't mind as she got to celebrate her birthday all over again without having to turn a year older. Unfortunately, no one remembered to bring a camera so there are no pictures of the event. Instead, I am sharing some pictures from the previous week when we got together at Mary's without Karen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As luck would have it, Mary had received in the mail a birthday gift from Lyla who lives too far away to be able to get together with us, so we talked Mary into opening it. Lyla gifted Mary with many little paper embellishments, some of which she bought and some of which she created herself by printing out and then labourously cutting out by hand.</span></div>

So sorry I forgot my camera for your birthday outing, Mary! We had a fun time breakfasting at Stephanie's Cabin restaurant, waited on by our favorite waitress Kelly. Then headed to Dot's n Doodles art supply, Deja Vu thrift store, JoAnn's craft store, lunch at Dooger's seafood restaurant, then on to the Goodwill store. Plenty of laughs and a bonus was we had April's daughter Amber along! Really sorry I forgot the camera. Mary had fun opening her gifts during breakfast and all the shopping thereafter. We all had fun watching Mary open her presents and shopping thereafter! See you next time!!</span></div>

I had to send these pictures so all my S & B buddies can see that I can actually see the floor in the room upstairs where I work. Everything is in a drawer. It is amazing! While Kit was doing his work in the remodel of the bathroom that he didn't need help with...I worked in the room. Some went to the Goodwill, some went to Consign Me, and the rest found places in drawers. Now, when Pinky comes to stay for the month, she will have a place to work where she isn't tripping over everything to make a card! Figured out how to put the pictures on the blog while I was at it :>))<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Another birthday has rolled around for April. She is hanging on to her 50's by a thread! As has become our custom, we met at Stephanie's Cabin in Astoria for a birthday breakfast. Our waitress was sweet enough to bring April a candle in a paper cup of whipped cream. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She received plenty of card making supplies, including these stickers. The duck over her shoulder isn't quite sure what to make of all this gift opening. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sorry I didn't get more photos but believe me, she got enough cool gifts to last her awhile! It was a fun outing. We were disappointed that our favorite art supply store, Dot's n Doodles, was closed, so we made do with 3 different thrift stores and JoAnn's craft store. Next birthday will be Mary's in June.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hope everyone is enjoying some fine spring weather! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Everybody has got to get in on the act including April's cat Arnold, posing with a card that Mary made. Her hand carved stamps are so well done!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When we first started getting together we always hauled our sewing machines around and were mainly into creating art quilts and sewing projects. Then April gave us a workshop on card making, Pinky and Karen joined the group and the focus has mainly switched to paper arts. Glue and B(eye)tch just doesn't have the same ring to it though, so we remain Stitch 'n B.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">April has a unique characteristic: She collects dead birds. Yes, you read it right, she collects dead birds. She doesn't kill them! No, she only collects fresh ones that she finds dead. Here she is holding a bagged Gray Jay she found on her deck. Evidently it hit the window too hard. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She looks like the cat who bagged the canary! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What does she do with them, you might ask? That is what we all ask her, anyway. She has great plans for them although she hasn't fully decided just what those plans are as yet. In the meantime she keeps them in her freezer. Here you can see two Varied Thrush, one Stellar Jay, one Western Tanager, a Red Shafted Flicker and one Evening Grosbeak. We tease her mercilessly about this hobby of hers. </span></span></div>

So this week we gathered at Karen's and everyone brought their supplies and we stenciled away! It was a blast! Above you can see one of the pieces April created.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some pieces that Pinky made. she colored the molding paste before applying it and we all agreed we like that better than trying to color it afterwards. I love that flower stencil! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Above is a project Karen completed. Mary gave us all a little bag of shells and beads and challenged us to make something from them and this is Karen's. All packaged up in a pretty box, on decorated card stock. Very striking! I believe she is gifting it to one of her sisters. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We had a tray with water in it for soaking the stencils. Karen noticed how beautiful patterns were forming in the water so of course we had to get a photo of it and then..... </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a very late post, because we celebrated Karen's birthday over two weeks ago! That doesn't take away from the fun we all had. So much fun in fact that I forgot to take pictures except for these few. We met in Astoria at Stephanies Cabin restaurant, as usual. Above you can see Karen with her rootin' tootin' cowboy gift. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm not sure but I think this is a journal that Mary created for Karen. She looks pretty happy about it, we all know how much she likes blank books. She fills them all up eventually. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our waitress photo bombed this shot, as Karen was looking at the gifts from Pinky.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After breakfast we went on to the fine art supply store, Dot's and Doodles. Scott, one of the owners, gave us an impromptu demonstration on how to use stencils with molding paste and paints. You will see how much we took to heart his instructions in the next post. We all bought one or more items there before moving on to JoAnn's craft store, the Goodwill, and Dollar store. It was an extremely stormy day but finally it cleared off and we decided to linger in town a little longer and took Karen to a late lunch. We managed to linger until 5pm! Didn't make it home until after 6pm, exhausted but happy. We all enjoy these celebrations as much as the person we are celebrating!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Birthday Karen!!</span></span></div>

(I do think that Mary will add some photos, too...so that will be good.) We were going to meet at Mary's this Monday because it was a holiday and April wouldn't have to work, but Kit wasn't feeling very good, so we invaded Pinky & Cliff's place. (Thanks, guys!!!)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> We spread a piece of clear plastic on Pinky's table so that we could do some gesso'ing!!! Remember we're still working on our Folded Books. Karen & Mary had already done some gesso'ing in their books, so they were a little bit ahead of us, but Jan, Pinky and I trudged onward. Both Pinky & Jan had gesso, so we shared. I should have taken a picture of that process, but...of course....forgot. We just spread out our folded books until you were looking at all 16 squares (pages) at once, and painted them with white gesso. We used a little heat gun to dry them out. And then the fun began.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> We weren't sure why, but when Karen painted her pages, she had quite a time with the pages sticking together, and then tearing. She didn't seem too bothered by it, though, because she just used some washi tape and 'taped 'em up!' Mary confessed that she'd also had some trouble with them sticking. Mary had some little pieces of a material that was kinda like vellum (or like the little tissues that you find by the donuts at Freddies....not that I'd know anything about what's over by the donuts!!!) They worked pretty well to place in between each set of pages so they wouldn't stick together. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You know, even though we're using the same techniques, we all have such different styles, it is always so interesting to see how each one turns out. </span><br />

Here is a look at a couple of Karen's pages. I believe that she painted the background with water color crayons, and then added the paper raven. Looks cool doesn't it?</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here you can see that Mary kinda likes Cowgirls. I wish I could flip it upright so you could see it better....but I CAN'T. (sorry!)<br />Don't know if you can tell but Mary has painted both the backgrounds. The one on the right is using a texture template that she just bought at Dots & Doodles in Astoria, Oregon. If you ever get a chance to visit this art shop, DO! Run by a couple of neat characters and their DOG!!!</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijnc9tsF8yqcSivBeNXNFjRvFZhePB5c8kziDtJEQPtdgJab7Rkl06FzVUmSae8d_ImdBWqTaAs98_3Y1lsg8h3j21rq8ehyphenhyphenHl3mWR4YtoQg06I-gkWDYtYYufcFbgxiTWe9hLNdMkXC6B/s1600/Marys+cowgirl+page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijnc9tsF8yqcSivBeNXNFjRvFZhePB5c8kziDtJEQPtdgJab7Rkl06FzVUmSae8d_ImdBWqTaAs98_3Y1lsg8h3j21rq8ehyphenhyphenHl3mWR4YtoQg06I-gkWDYtYYufcFbgxiTWe9hLNdMkXC6B/s400/Marys+cowgirl+page.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: small;">Mary's second page is one that she painted using some of Pinky's water color crayons.

<br />
<span style="color: orange; font-size: small;">Jan painted the background with water colors (I think) and then glued on this snappy dancer. (sorry about the reflection from my camera flash) I like it, Jan!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx7jEpHxlIe37a0GTpIVxu49tRNk1D81S9GcjcqGRkNQy4nzqxgSMF90CcsREblJQ5x1eZzlsNTX8AiJwLhTj6yz5FmYa3cCCC0KeOeI70reTyMqbjaTmcSe_o2mXBfVNNsDB7_Q7l95Oo/s1600/Jan's+Dancing+Girl+Page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx7jEpHxlIe37a0GTpIVxu49tRNk1D81S9GcjcqGRkNQy4nzqxgSMF90CcsREblJQ5x1eZzlsNTX8AiJwLhTj6yz5FmYa3cCCC0KeOeI70reTyMqbjaTmcSe_o2mXBfVNNsDB7_Q7l95Oo/s320/Jan's+Dancing+Girl+Page.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: small;">I'm not sure exactly how Jan did this combination of pages, but they are wonderful. It looks like it was gesso'ed, then painted, then stamped, then painted and drawn on, then paper added, then more stamping.....and well, I think that the newsprint might had been put on at the very beginning, and then gesso'ed over. So cool, Jan! You might want to comment and let us know your course of action on these pages. Cool beans, Girlie Girl!</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: small;">Pinky was doing a lot of painting with water color crayons & her new Gelato water color crayons (a little bit different material than regular water color crayons...they seem to be a bit more creamy.) It's a bit hard to see, but Pinky first gesso'ed this page, and then stamped a white lacy image in the center. Then she drew around the outside. How cool is that. Neat, Pink!</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Hl1bk77mhFzHtMEdpTTJ9kutq9ojZdjmwEycLKv6MgiduU_9oQdY1BwgvIijtR0X7iB8ZNcUwDnpVJJLmgQexAz5GIMpFReizFmGOLokSmjWmBiTBfQPt_8z75hjIlMDOMuQnwRgZZj-/s1600/Pinky's+filigree+stamped+page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Hl1bk77mhFzHtMEdpTTJ9kutq9ojZdjmwEycLKv6MgiduU_9oQdY1BwgvIijtR0X7iB8ZNcUwDnpVJJLmgQexAz5GIMpFReizFmGOLokSmjWmBiTBfQPt_8z75hjIlMDOMuQnwRgZZj-/s320/Pinky's+filigree+stamped+page.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: small;">This next page is stamped with....well, I'm not actually sure. I know she used a great big stamp that she has...but I'm not sure what medium she used. It sure looks metallic & shiny! Hmmmm....Pinky, will you make a comment and let us know how you achieved this? Sure looks great!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">These last two are mine (April). The first one is gesso'ed first and then I dampened the page before smearing with water color blocks...then using a water brush, just brushed it around. Kinda fun! Really will have to put my thinking cap on to figure out what else I do with each page.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMcBQoPGlIVKp7k5kuFGxXImt9ZqrVZwPOUrdPPunp6t0qm7jEZBg9C6FdXj26esyie-Zd7i8OQyCCZcnz4W8BDm3mVYLHHwT7cikoDknFblkLAF00y7VvG_-8pBZRTOKeoOytFR_z3Ti/s1600/April's+green+page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMcBQoPGlIVKp7k5kuFGxXImt9ZqrVZwPOUrdPPunp6t0qm7jEZBg9C6FdXj26esyie-Zd7i8OQyCCZcnz4W8BDm3mVYLHHwT7cikoDknFblkLAF00y7VvG_-8pBZRTOKeoOytFR_z3Ti/s320/April's+green+page.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">These final two sheets are side by side in my book and most of you might be impressed because one of them is ORANGE. I know...will wonders never cease. (I'm really not an orange fan), but I'm making my Folded Book be rainbological so it will go from red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet!!! ROYGBIV!! So....ah, I kinda, sorta had to have orange in there! hahahaha!</span><br />

I don't think it's ever happened. I will apologize up front, tho, for my OPINION getting a little loud. We started a conversation about new health care reforms and I MAY have over-stepped. If so, girls, then I hope you'll please forgive me. You KNOW how I am, and very often my mouth is engaged in high gear with my brain lagging quite a bit behind. Sorry!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Enough said!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First of all Jan shared with us last week, this new folded book that she made. She had folded it all up and then painted the sections that would become pages later. It was so neat, we asked her if she would show us how.......so....... she brought us special large paper and was nice enough to offer us a workshop today. Beings that I'm the PERSON who was going to BLOG about our day I wanted to be sure to take lots of photos and get all the correct terminology. So I asked Jan what this folded book was called. Well, it's a Folded Book! Hence, following you'll find our Folded Book Workshop!!!</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB281N-u69Z0OZFK3Jp9gXhVTiB9WP0RVIKyMhxoxny07eNRrQD7aTWeGY6llAcXxsUPG2SMevADwEckzqO5tIPfynvpWwlYLtN81As540-duddf_KbXh9wayGdoDSSDIhGw4HgsRC06PS/s1600/Starting+paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB281N-u69Z0OZFK3Jp9gXhVTiB9WP0RVIKyMhxoxny07eNRrQD7aTWeGY6llAcXxsUPG2SMevADwEckzqO5tIPfynvpWwlYLtN81As540-duddf_KbXh9wayGdoDSSDIhGw4HgsRC06PS/s320/Starting+paper.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Step 1: Lay out your large paper! (Jan gave us two different kinds of paper that we worked on one at a time. They were two shades of manilla.) ((Does saying manilla remind you of 'Nilla Vanilla Wafers!!!...it's a sing-song commercial I remember from my youth.) hahahaha! Sorry, I digress!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Step 2: Fold the paper in half length-wise, then each those halves in half again. Unfold & flatten. Now fold the paper in half width-wise, then each of those halves in half again.</span><br />

We met at April's on Friday instead of the planned Thursday due to snow in the forecast. When Pinky and I came over the hill on Friday, it was just fine...little spots of ice, but nothing terrible. It just felt good to be all together again and working on our own individual projects, as usual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed we were all working on different things and just sat around creating and solving the problems of the world all at one time...wonderful! This was one of those days when April was sharing with us and we were laughing so much, we were in tears. I love those days! Laughter is such good medicine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jan brought each of us a fantastic white pen to use in our projects and a new pair of scissors each. I tried my pen and so did April during our time together and I love mine! Pink said she might try a zentangle on black with her new pen. I bet that will look outstanding.</div>

Pinky's great zentagle above. She did such a wonderful job on it. We all want to try some of these. I bought her a book for Christmas where you do one zentangle per day to learn the different techniques and as you can see...she took right to it!<br />

Karen's Christmas card with her favorite little pug, Yum Yum, on the front. Karen missed a few at Christmas and was sending out New Years cards with notes today. Each year she creates a card and has it printed to send out. I always enjoy getting her Christmas cards.<br />

Jan looks like she is in deep thought about what she is going to put in her book next. She is making an art journal book and we are hoping she will give us some pointers on how to do this. She helped us all make smaller versions of this, but we all thought this looked like a pretty good challenge for the future.<br />

Mary was working on post cards and this cover for a journal she will give as a gift. I am having trouble with pictures on my new computer and you can see by my journal and April's below...cannot figure out how to turn a photo that is the wrong way...forgive me.

April's June calendar page started for Pinky's calendar. She realized she needed to make Pinky at least one calendar page that was left off. It was so fun to watch her just put this together. She does the neatest lettering.<br />

Pinky always makes her iris folding look so easy, but it really isn't. A person has to have a lot of patience for this technique and Pinky has that for sure. She looks like she is getting an early start on next year.<br />

Karen took down April's Laurel Burch teapot and drew these cats from it. They turned out so cute. She used some of April's paint pens to color them in. I love the looks on their faces.<br />

On Friday, we had our annual Christmas party (a little late) at April's. It had been several weeks since we have all been together and we were anxious to meet. A bonus was that Amber, April's daughter, was down from Alaska on Christmas vacation. We were able to enjoy her company for the whole day. It was fun catching up with her and her AK adventures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
April had a real spread for our lunch and goodies for each of us. We have to confess that we didn't do a speck of creating, but just enjoyed each other's company.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did trade the calendar pages that we made for each other. They were really amazing. I think everyone agreed that they loved the pages that each of us made for each other...WOW!</div>

Jan is showing us her new pages to her calendar. She made a really beautiful cover for her notebook and has each calendar page in it's own folder inside. That way, she can journal and see the calendar page at the same time...great idea!<br />

OK...so this picture is upside down! Can't be perfect all the time, right? Amber brought each of us little bottles filled with Alaska sand and beach glass and even some tiny shells. She brought one for each of us.<br />

I'm hoping I'm getting this right...Jan made this page for Karen. We were sad to hear that little Joe is no longer with Karen. His health went downhill in the last month. We all will miss him.<br />

Pinky loves "Hello Kitty" and April gave her a pair of HK pj bottoms for Christmas. She also got two boxes of rubber stamps. She was pretty excited about that.<br />
<br />
Not sure what day we will meet this next week. We are waiting to see what April's work schedule has in store. We will be back to work in the creating department. See you then!<br />
