There's been a little more progress on the landscape - hard to tell from the photo but there's pretty much two days of work gone into this since you last saw it.
It's now ready to start quilting so hopefully that will happen today - or at least partially.
That's Claire Garland, the originator of the Dollivers, in Knitted Babes. And my parakeets! She's a wonderful designer and a very nice person.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information - I somehow missed the name of the designer.
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThe rain barrel cover up would be a good use for palette wood.
Dot Pebbles' kniting is beautiful. Her bunny melts the heart, but I'm going with the pheasant, a favorite bird.
Yes, a great use for palette wood for sure! I must pass that tidbit on to our #2 son - something he might like to do with his rain barrel.
DeleteOh love those rays of light on the snowy mountains in the back--this is really a lovely piece--you are so talented. I had always wanted to do landscapes, but never had the nerve to try one...beautiful work can't wait to see the quilting you add

It took me years to muster the courage to even attempt doing a landscape much less the ones I'm figuring out as I go along now. I'm glad I finally jumped in though.
DeleteOh, I just noticed my new honor! Too cool.
ReplyDeleteIt was too good not to share Liz!
DeleteI love watching your landscapes come alive - think I've said that before, but it still holds true. Great links today. I don't knit but I have a friend in Ireland who will love that knitting blog. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy them Lorraine - I sometimes wonder if all I'm doing is boring everyone. I knit, but not like those wonderful things!
DeleteBeautiful landscape. I feel the chill but know there will be warmth within the barn. I love your work.
ReplyDeleteI also love all the trees and was astonished to see the moose, which I thought was real.
Today it was quite hot here so it was rather pleasant to work on a chilly scene - not that I want the chill for real though!
DeleteGood progress! I like the added details, it's coming to life.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up, it's worth the struggle.
Sometimes it definitely is a struggle but it's also fun to figure out the next steps as I go along.
DeleteLooking good! I think I'm seeing sheet metal on that roof. I loved Boud's comment when I read it and I love it still. I look forward to using it myself one of these days when it fits the occasion. :) Oh... And the knitted animals!!! Amazing. And her photography with them just brings them to life.
ReplyDeleteYou got it! It is sheet metal but there's more to be done to it yet. You're so right that those knitted animals are amazing....I wouldn't have the patience for making them but they are cute.
DeleteLove what you have done so far. That work made with keys is awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw those key items it made me think of the collection of keys my parents had - long gone now of course!
DeleteReally liking this.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along bit by bit! Glad you like it.
DeleteGReat job on your landscape. The link to tree carvings is fantastic! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by wood so when I saw those carvings I couldn't resist sharing.
