My Tam knitted last week. I dyed and spun the wool myself. In fact I have used it before for a cuff for a cardigan I was knitting- I decided I didn't like it and pulled the whole thing apart when I'd finished it. The tam has been good for covering up my scabby forehead.
And here's a painting I've been working on for the last few days. I can't find my rubber to erasethe pencil lines (the kids always steal them from me, take them to school and loose them and then steal mine all over again! GRR!). He's not quite right, but I like him all the same. Much bigger than the other water colour work I've been doing. This sheet is 15"x 11".
I painted it from a fantastic photo from the latest National Geographic magazine. I love Nat Geo for all the wonderful photos. I have pages and pages marked- interesting people's faces, animals etc- all potential paintings and drawings. Oscar was going through them the other day looking for things to draw too.
very nice Georgia i was waiting to see the cable...love the colours in the wool...
ReplyDeletei am always fascinated by fish i especially like this one ..is it grey blue???
The fish is more a browny colour- I mixed black, purple and brown. The wool in the hat was mainly from the batches of dyeing I was doing when experimenting with natural dyes. Unfortunately, the flash from the camera wiped out the texture a bit.
ReplyDeleteYour fish is stunning! I love the detail on the fins! Wendy xx
