Last week went fast! Monday I had jury duty and even though I wasn’t chosen, the day was pretty much wasted. Thursday I went to lunch and a movie with a friend. We saw “Mamma Mia!” and thought it was pretty good. Wednesday I got down to work on the next project. Completed the drawing, figured out the sewing lines and transferred it to the full size paper so I could make the pattern. I had pulled a LOT of fabric Monday afternoon for inspiration, but until seeing the full size pattern to get an idea for scale no decisions could be made. During our cooler weather I had been enjoying spending some time in the hammock in the shade garden reading some art books on light and color and shadows and observing nature at different times of the day.<\/p>\n
The photo that I’m using for inspiration is an old family photo in black and white. It has strong shadows that obliterate some of the detail. I am having to make up my own colors as I go. This is challenging but fun! I have quite a bit done by now and it is looking good!<\/p>\n
I will not be sharing pictures as I may enter this in an exhibit that prohibits previous publication. Sorry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
