Brrrrr!

Woke up to a cold, winding morning.

Dreaming about heading south.

Besides, I think the weekend is that direction!

Happy Friday!

Mini Sketchbook

Check it out!  I got a 4 x 6" Stillman & Birn softcover sketchbook.

I tend to work in stectchbooks that are much BIGGER.

Time to just play around is something I look forward to & do in the evening at least three or four

times a week.

With the next couple months being jammed packed I was looking to maintain my

sketchbook play but not make myself mental.

The solution is this mini sketchbook.  We'll see!

Cobalt Kapow!

Rows of cut flowers & a marigold.

P.S. I love this shade of blue.  I studied in Mexico for a while in art school.

This blue was everywhere & it's hard to forget.

Halloween Daydreaming

Thinking about possible costumes!

Friday the 13th

A very spooky night indeed!

I've never found this day to be unlucky for me.

(knock on wood...)

Happy Friday.

Channeling my inner Vera...

Looks like a Vera scarf to me.

If you're not familiar with Vera Neumann look her up.

(she was a wonderful textile designer)

Harvest

I was inspired to reinterpret this Josef Frank textile from the early 1900s.

Thought the harvest like theme was very appropriate for this time of year.

Textiles have always held a special place in my heart.  

It's what I got my degree in at R.I.S.D.

Hello there October.

I don't do a shout out for every month but October I'm fond of you.

You're still warm, the sky swirls with falling leaves, & there's a playfulness to you.  A time when kids & adults can play dress up with the reward of candy.  Things can get a little scary but hopefully, not too frightening. (you never know anymore)

October, I'm ready for your dark delights!
