Progression?

 I've been working away on the latest landscape and have a little progress I can show you...



- There are some interesting ideas HERE.

- I think THIS would look great on an outdoor chair in the summertime.

- THIS looks a little different than most.

- THIS one too.

- There are tons of links HERE to some yummy-looking muffin recipes.

Today the quote is from Maya Angelou..."Hate.  It has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it has not solved one yet"

    This landscape is different, more painterly. I like it a lot.

      Yes, it's definitely different. I wanted to try a b&w (ish) landscape and this one seemed to suit that plan. In this photo part of it looks blue but in real life it's definitely grey.

    The broken-wheel landscape is really coming along so well...I agree it looks "painterly";)))
    Nice work... very cold here only 20 degrees this morning--unusual for this shoreline area...brrr hugs, Julierose

      I've had people comment on my landscapes that they think they look like paintings, at least from a distance.

    Very nice progress
    That flower pillow is cute. I can see a sofa full of them like a bouquet.

      I thought it was cute as well - an outdoor sofa would be perfect.

    Oh my goodness, Mary Anne. All that stitching has turned those fabrics into a veritable winter wonderland. Love it!

      Thanks Becki. I rather wondered how it would come together but so far I'm happy with it. Wrestling with how to add the next step now....it's a puzzlement.

      First time I've attempted black and white and must say the biggest challenge was finding enough fabrics in my stash that would work.

      It doesn't show too well in the photo but the sky is done with hand dyed and stitched cheesecloth over fabric

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
