Hearts & Lace Teaser

I was back in the studio today working on Issue #9 of Julie B Booth Surface Design News. The focus this month was to limit myself to using two items: freezer paper and doilies. The theme: Hearts & Lace in preparation for Valentine's Day.

This issue will be coming out on Saturday, January 26. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to sign up (see right hand column). Every fourth Saturday of the month, I get inspiration from my kitchen and come up with interesting surface design ideas to share. In this upcoming issue, I also talk about the challenge of working within limits.

This week in the studio, I managed to get the first four letters for the A Letter A Week 2013 Peace alphabet completed. I plan to do a test print today. I have a few ideas about how I want to present the final letters...still need to work that all out.

Also, in the studio today, I'll be working on the next issue of Julie B Booth Surface Design News (Issue #9 will be out this coming Saturday, January 26). I'll be spending the day working with doilies and freezer paper, the theme...Hearts & Lace. Experimenting to commence!!
