* I've been enjoying adding instinctual stitching to my chunky little 3X3 inch book. I usually add instinctual stitching to the pages before and after they're bound, but I especially love adding the stitching when the book is complete. It's the little details that inspire me. Talking about inspiration, I'm excited to announce on Saturday April 29th at 10am on Instagram, I'm introducing something new, a 30 minute live glimpse on what I'm currently working on in my studio. More details coming.. * * * #instinctualstitching #stitchedprojects #intuitiveart #intuitivestitching #abstractart #mixedmediaartist #contemporaryart #modernart #stitchedlayers #texturedart #handmadebooks #littlebookmaking #littlebooks #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #textileart #fiberarts #fiberartist #textileart #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #artbooks #handmadejournals #handstitched #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZRHLIpaLE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* I'm not sure what it was about this baby picture that made me choose it to put in my little book, I don't usually think about what I'm picking, but looking at it now that it's part of my book I can intuit a story that may pertain to me. * * * #instinctuallystitched #stitchedprojects #paintedfabric #littlebookart #handmadebooks #littlebookmaking #littlebooks #mixedmedia #artbook #mixedmediaartjournal #mixedmediabooks #artistbooks #textileart #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #handstitched #littlebooks #creativebookmaking #handstitching #artbooks #handmadejournals #perfectionnotion #bookmaker #socalartist #beatrizhelton (at Upland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChgAyYcvHsk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* My hubby found this hummingbird nest in our backyard a while back and I've kept it in remembrance of my Mom who passed in 2018. She loved Hummers and would keep a feeder outside her living room window so she could watch them feed as she sat in her favorite chair. I miss my Mom, yet I feel her all around me. I know she's near because the hummingbirds are here to remind me. The end of a year always causes me to pause and reflect and introspection helps me stay grounded. I hope you're enjoying the holidays and finding peace in the here and now. * * #instinctualstitching #instinctuallystitched #instinctualstitch #stitchedprojects #paintedfabric #littlebookart #handmadebooks #littlebookmaking #littlebooks #mixedmedia #artbook #mixedmediaartjournal #mixedmediabooks #artistbooks #textileart #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #handstitched #littlebooks #creativebookmaking #handstitching #artbooks #handmadejournals #perfectionnotion #bookmaker #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/CmsA8vuPtj0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
