I had finished it. I was ready to sign it. But then on the drive to town, I kept noticing the sagebrush. The stems. My sagebrush in my painting didn’t have stems. I would have to correct that. So I did. And it was horrible. Bleh! Now I had to cover it all up, so…

Painting
Finally! One long, hot shower since I can bend my knee enough to clamber into the bathtub! Yay! Sponge baths and a quick shampoo just doesn’t cut it. My knee improves daily and I have an MRI scheduled. I still haven’t been outside, which is tough… but Vernon has been taking care of my chickens…
Quarter Panel
While I’m laid up, I guess some decorative art is on my agenda. First off, I have this buffalo skull hanging on some gorgeous, blue stained tongue and groove. My apologies for the weird angle. And that’s some sweetgrass I’ve temporarily placed in his nose. The point is, the skull has a tendency to blend…
Bronze Clay
Vernon’s sister and brother-in-law have been here visiting. We’ve gone to fair, and seen some country, and met up with relatives, and photographed old photographs, but the one thing we’ve always tried to do during her visits, is, we do a craft together. This year Cindy brought the craft. For years she has worked with…
Library Class
I taught a tie dye class for adults at the library Friday night. After researching some amazing artists on YouTube (there are some crazy talented people out there), I chose to do an outline of symmetrical shapes or animal heads in class. We used just the more inexpensive tie dye kits on pillowcases and bandannas….
Did That
Today remained overcast and snowy, although there was practically no more accumulation. I again remained inside, enjoying a big pot of pinto beans and cornbread… painting some light switches… and taking the time to watch Iowa’s Caitlyn Clark and her teammates unfortunately lose the National Championship to the South Carolina girls. She has been so…
Wordless Wednesday: Eggsceptional
For a jigsaw puzzle of some of my pysanka, go here.
Anyone?
So this is my needle felted bag as it stands now… a bit more progress than the last pic I shared of it. I’m contemplating entering it or some other item in a wool art show this summer… but, even though I like it, I don’t feel like it works with the bag. It’s just…
Wool Bag
With a wool needle felting class coming up, I’ve decided to continue playing with wool projects… This bag was gifted to me years ago and it’s been hanging out in my wool bag ever since. I added a sunset… Then a few aspen trees… It’s not quite complete, but it’s close!
Creative
I finished up a diamond dot picture today… this one appealed because of the balsamroot and lupine look of the piece. I do like the look of diamond dots… though there isn’t much creativity in the process. For those of you who are unfamiliar with dotting… it’s much like paint by number. A sticky canvas…
Another Visit to MMW
We recently headed to Buffalo and Sheridan, part meeting and part shopping trip. I had Vernon swing by the Wool Mill of Mountain Meadow Wool. It’s a favorite stop of mine… and I’ve written about it before. In a few weeks, I’ll be teaching a needle felting class, and needed some supplies. We will be…
