Happy New Year!
Here’s wishing you all good things in 2014!
Yesterday I finished up the 7 x 10 “Goldfinch in Winter” for SAQA. I have also been working some on the dogs, but with Christmas, and all, have not made a lot of progress. I’m still not happy with my available fabric choices for the sky and since I have no pressing deadline, I can take my time….
I had the goldfinch’s head all done before I remembered that the male has a black cap. The one in the photo I was working with is a female and that is how I made the one in the trading card, But I wanted the one for SAQA to be a male. So I had to lop off the top of his head and add some black!
Male goldfinches loose their bright gold color in winter and go sort of olive green like the females. When I see them at the feeder with bits of yellow coming in I know Spring is not too far away.
Linking up to “Off The Wall Friday” – go see what others are up to! Sorry it came through in caps – really I am not yelling at you and I don’t know how to fix it!
I see that “Comments” is turned off. I don’t know why or how to fix that either, so if you want to comment, and I hope you do, it looks like you can do it in the next post.
