Maybe it’s because of all the Spring-like sunshine (even though it’s still freeeeezing outside!) or maybe I’ve had a little more free time, whatever the reason I’ve been pulling out my old paints and canvasses, bright yarn and (figurative) gardening gloves and messing around. Lots! I gathered up a bunch of photos from recent projects and here they are:
A mock-up of a painting. The real one will be much larger and darker and lighter and things…
Arugula (rocket) sprouts. You can see the spot in the middle where Cors decided to put his nose where it doesn’t belong…
My friend Steph has a Canadian friend who collects scarves from all over the world. Steph searched high and low for a scarf made in the US and couldn’t find one that was actually made here. So she asked if I’d be up for making a scarf. (Yay for handmade!) I hadn’t made a scarf in ages it and it was so fun! I used 100% Peruvian wool and a simple lace stitch. I like how springy it looks.
Another little work in progress: canvas + acrylic + pen + watercolor
And tonight’s dinner, not really a project but the colors and tastes are quite yummy!
Is it warming up where you are? I have a feeling we’ll have more snow before Spring is really here!
