• I was working on this little book while my son @underhowl played his acoustic guitar. He came up with this little ditty on the spur of the moment. What a comfort the sound of his guitar playing is to me. I’m very proud of him. • • • #stayinghome #breathedeeply #littlebook #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpaper #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #slowstitch #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #beatrizhelton (at Upland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_do-wkA0LO/?igshid=1kx2xk4hl5el4

• This little 2x3 inch friend is the first little book I created, it was the inspiration for my other little books. I learned how to make this book in Redondo Beach where @orlyavineri once lived. The binding was taught by a student she was encouraging to teach, then Orly put a really satisfying end to the workshop on the last day by teaching us what we could put inside. Pure magic. Have you checked out her Come Outside online workshop? • • #orlyavinericomeoutside #bookarts #littlebook #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpapers #grungedye #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #slowstitch #handstitching #artbooks #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9s2SLAAEB/?igshid=i3h2eeh6t9ca

• TBT: I made this little book a while back and I don’t remember who I sold it to, I wish I had taken a picture of it with its new owner, I think that would be a good practice to begin. Will the owner please step forward? • • • #tbt #bookarts #littlebook #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpapers #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #slowstitch #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #beatrizhelton (at Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3eR0uDzoB/?igshid=5yp7u34cs4ux

• A couple of the things that have been bringing me peace these days are handstitching and reading. My current read is Calypso by David Sedaris. A nice easy read. Short stories for the short-term memory challenged. Also, I've cut my caffeine intake down to one cup of black tea in the morning. What's bringing you peace my friends? • • • #bookarts #littlebook #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpapers #grungedye #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #slowstitch #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #beatrizhelton (at Upland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC425PUg8Wi/?igshid=kfhy29ldzk2k

• After a while everything starts looking like an artistic creation,,, and always a song silences all the random, negative bullshit that clogs by brain with its continual rumination. 🖤🖤🖤 Do you listen to music while making whatever it is you make or is your mind quiet enough to enjoy the silence? • • • #bookarts #littlebook #rustico #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpapers #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #slowstitch #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #beatrizhelton #lamytutus (at Upland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtzGn5ga6u/?igshid=fywwf3cxb8ng

• When I was a kid and I wanted permission to do something with my friends, my mama would ask, “if your friends jump off a cliff will you jump too?” I would say, “yes, it sounds like fun.” I STILL feel that way,,,,,, BUT I’m going to wear a MASK doing it and stay home...for the collective good. I can be a rebel just as easily in the safety of my little studio. 🖤 • • • #bookart #littlebook #artjournal #textures #littlebooks #ecodyedpapers #mixedmedia #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #creativejournaling #mixedmediaartjournal #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #mixedmediaart #bookartist #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #contemporary_art #socalartist #lamytutus #stayhome #watchthenumbers https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtvh-_AxMs/?igshid=d5gavgsgaer

• Tuesday afternoon I'm just beginning to see Now I'm on my way. It doesn't matter to me Chasing the clouds away. Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why. Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh. I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind. It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.. • Lyrics: The Moody Blues.
