Wingin It

Putting some blocks together, but I really don't know what I am doing. I want to make these more interesting some how. I'll  keep plugging away at it.

 And because I know you need an Otis "fix", hanging out in the guitar case.

This is some of what I am thankful for...

My boys, my husband, my cats, my son's long time girlfriend, my sewing machine, and fabric.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday.

Water Coloring Lately

I've been working  on water colors lately.  I got a little moleskin water color book and a tiny little portable water color set that comes with a brush with water resevoir and mixing tray and at night if I am too tired to sew or anything else, which is often, I sit and do water colors.

 The paintings below are emblematic of neurotic doodles that I have been doing for years. They are all a variation of about the same thing, which is what doodles are. I figured out that if this is what I draw all the time, why not let them be the subject of some art projects. Besides water colors I also add colored pencil and very fine black marker lines. Markers do not work well on top of water color. It makes the marker stop working...... any suggestions? I don't know what to use, I've tried several types and brands.

 It is very relaxing, almost as relaxing as knitting.

 

 

Can you hear me now?

Don't Forget

New shawlette, new "work" truck, new sculpture

I forget the pattern, but I am trying to use up some yarn, the color is a little off because I photographed it at 6:00 pm and it was getting dark.

 

Someone bought and has been restoring a "work truck". It is a 1970 VW Transporter and apparently quite rare.

 This is the someone who bought it for the company. He is very happy with it and it is pretty cute in a weird sort of way.

And last but not least this is a test to see if my son reads my blog, a bike sculpture made from food.
