This is what I’m working on today for a fundraiser at The Drawing Studio~ a local arts school where I teach. Media are watercolor, relief print, ink marker, and collage. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfiWQ4BvyeA/?vrfl=MXdmODNzNzlienEwYQ==

Hello everyone! I'm Lynda, joining you from Northeast Texas! I'm an author, textile artist, and lifelong creative who believes even the smallest scraps of fabric have a story waiting to be told. I especially love slow stitching, mixed media textile art, creative upcycling, embroidery, and experimenting with unexpected combinations of fabrics and textures. I'm always dreaming up new projects and finding fresh ways to turn ordinary materials into something beautiful and meaningful. I'm excited to be here, share ideas, learn from fellow makers, and be inspired by all the wonderful creativity in this group After all, we're never too old to learn a new trick—or start another project!

I love wearing handmade textile jewelry. And I love creating it every bit as much, if not more. Using just scraps of fabric, trims, and a few beads and sequins, a new piece is born.

Bought some fabric in New Zealand many years ago and combined that with some South African Shwe shwe cotton fabric at the back to make some placemats as a gift for our family in New Zealand.

Hi everyone, I have been in a creative slump for several months now, ever since I moved into my new house. So many of the daily necessities seem to pile up and take priority over creative projects. I don't know if you can relate to where I am right now. But I know I am not alone! Here is a post on my insta about my process of looking through my collections of images, writings, and materials to find my creative seeds. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DesXhURvzFP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&psln=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==&srtk=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I am curating my collections for fresh inspiration, putting things up on a wall, and I am also setting up a new work station for novelty and a refresh. How do you get out of creative slumps when they happen? Lets share our ideas in the comments and help each other out. ❤️
