Dot & Swirl: Dot & Swirl
http://dotandswirl.blogspot.com/2013/01/dot-swirl.html
Nourishing The Creative Life. Thursday, January 3, 2013. A new year and a new beginning. I launched my new Dot and Swirl etsy shop on Jan. 1, 2013. I am excited about the new focus for my creative explorations. Dot and Swirl is named for two of my favorite things; the polka-dot - the world's smallest harbinger of joy, and the swirl - the universal symbol of energy and spark. So far in the shop there are bunnies, sheep, chickens and trilobites (soft rocks! Here is the link to my new shop! Jude is a mixed ...

Nourishing The Creative Life. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Maple Syrup Collage Paintings. Here in Vermont Spring arrives a bit late. Luckily we have some wonderful things to keep us happy while we await the buds and blooms. One of these is Maple Sugaring season! Many years ago I came up with this project as a follow-up to a preschool field trip to the local Sugar House. This morning the excited oooohs and ahhhs of the entire group during my demo let me know this activity is still a favorite. Set up the tabl...

Dot & Swirl: February 2013
http://dotandswirl.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Nourishing The Creative Life. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. It is getting to that point in our loooooong Vermont winter when thoughts of summer abound. Time for a warm weather story. So, today I give you little Judy in her spiral swimsuit poolside, and a video I made last summer during my Gathering Winooski Project, where dots and water create spirals and art! I think in this case the picture and the video are worth at least a thousand words. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Art Blog - Jude Bond Curious Girl.

Dot & Swirl: Button Stampers
http://dotandswirl.blogspot.com/2013/01/button-stampers.html
Nourishing The Creative Life. Thursday, January 3, 2013. I have some collections. A couple few… One of my favorite collections is my stack of vintage craft books – or should I say Kraft with a K books – as these are the KITCHY kind from the 50’s and 60’s that are chock full of unique projects using everyday materials to create the strange and unusual. This is the stuff I grew up on – which explains a lot. Here ya go –. Old buttons with cool designs and some raised areas. Paper or card stock. You can wash...

Nourishing The Creative Life. Monday, January 21, 2013. Children's Button Stamper Booklets. This little booklet also creates the slight cushion that makes the stamps make their best impression. (Pun intended). I put out some colored pencils with the stampers and ink. Pads Some chose to use them, but on this particular day many just went with the stampers and did not do much additional drawing. Monday, January 7, 2013. Thursday, January 3, 2013.

Dot & Swirl: Winter Crochet
http://dotandswirl.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter-crochet.html
Nourishing The Creative Life. Monday, January 7, 2013. I do love the wintry weather here in Vermont for staying indoors and doing creative projects. I have long found that the inward gaze brought on by the long cold winters feeds my imagination and increases my creative output. Here are a few photos of some of the toddler sized ones I have made thus far. You can see more in my shop - www.etsy.com/shop/dotandswirl. February 2, 2013 at 9:16 AM. Love the hat. Love the style. Very pretty!
