take it further: stitch & doodle

Day 5...stitch further


Color wanted to come to the party, I guess. Last night everytime I reached for more gray thread,  I came up with other colors -- green, purple, orange, green again. Okay then. Those bits of color and a few silk organza mosaics change this piece. In a good way, I think.

Day 6...pumpkin doodle


It is what it is -- a fake pumpkin and a black sharpie.

See you moonday. xo

  3. Ha! I love the checkerboard on the pumpkin...it made me smile : )
    I always say I am going to try neutral colors of fabric but then end up with color...I am a "color" person!
    Love the look of your weaving....

  6. Thanks, Jeannie -- it's something I started wayyyy back. Also painted one black and drew golden spider webs all over it. My daughter did one with polka-dots, I'm thinking of a filigree pattern next...

  7. Marie, it's relaxing mindless work to checkerboard a surface, especially on something funky -- thanks.

    Your use of color is what I love about your pieces! I'm taking baby steps towards being more colorful...slow but sure.

  9. I sometimes zentangle and have a couple of books and designs bookmarked but haven't really gotten into it 'yet'. I do want to. New books keep coming out and it re-inspires me, but there isn't time for everything I want to do. There isn't even enough time for everything I do.
