Oh, For Time

Here's one detail of a piece of linen. There are just a couple of pieces left, and I think that if I had time and solitude, this would be the one I'd like to stitch. But that is not time I have, so this has gone. I'll have to make more. 

 

Never Tire

Here's an example of a piece that started months ago. Maybe even a year back. I know because the screen is no longer around. But last week I returned to add more, mainly color. That little white tag means it's on the website for sale. (If I don't snag it and keep it for myself.)
 

Did I Forget Sunday?

I sat down tonight to see that I missed yesterday. Egads! Sunday was a posting marathon for my online shop. Took me mid-morning to after dinner, but managed to input a dozen silk scarves, about three dozen linen pieces, and about 16 more yards of printed cotton. Must be why I forgot about to post.
 

Linen as Well

I've a few pieces of linen on my drying rack shuffled in the cottons. Most all are washed out, which takes three long cycles. But I don't have to stand and watch them, I can go about sewing up the scarves, ironing the rest, and whittling down my pile of "need to finish" pieces. That's the fun part.
 

Scarves Galore

I've been printing silk scarves for the website store. My goal to have them ready by Sunday. It was time. I've got fabric printed and in the queue, as well as linen. When these are added, I'll be on to next year's calendar. Tonight? Ice cream celebration. Late. but not too late. Right Joan?
 

Happy Family of Artists

I don't offer the same photo to IG and FB, but this is an exception. It's an amalgam of the friends who were on my three week journey out west. I had a ball --  rain, shine, snow, and power outage. Happy thanks to everyone who shares their family with me. 

 

Color Check

I had an unwashed test of all the colors I used teaching at PNWAS in Coupeville. I added the 4 week-old dye paste I saved in the fridge and tested them (upper colors) against the colors I used in the class (bottom swiped colors).  Seems just the magenta and turquoise weakened. Good to go! 
 

Welcome Home

It was inevitable, snow that is. And I do live where the inevitable happens. So, let's look for a melt down so I can go out and put my garden to bed. Then I'm back to printing more fabric.
 

Daylight Color

 

The week in Coupeville, Washington hadn't enough daylight available to see just how spectacular the landscape is. So, I've made plans to (tentatively) return in July 2023. It will be lighter longer, warmer, and still charming. And I want to print the colors that surround this beautiful part of the world.

Good Bye Coupeville

We had a good week to print. Being the last of the season had its oddities, but we weathered the storm, made stuff dry between the rain, and found a few more tricks for printing. Thanks for the intrepid souls who joined me for the week in Coupeville at the Pacific Northwest Art School. I'll be back!
 

Phases of the Moon

A graphic of the Beaver Moon and the lunar eclipse might be found in this yard game. Let's just say that this is way clearer than the moon that was clouded over where I am in the Pacific Northwest. Happy full moon to those who are lucky to see it.
