Another month coming to a close!!! Where the heck to they disappear to? The only thing I accomplished was a little watercolor pencil work, a sinus infection and while on medication for that, picked up Influenza A. I totally missed participating in the Silk Dyeing class I had signed up for on QU with Marjie. I have saved those lessons and will get to them one of these days. I had really looked forward to that one as well. I was already in a class on Joggles with Dion Dior and watercolor pencils. I did manage to get through the first lesson of that one before getting sick. The water color pencils are going to take some more work and present different challenges. It was a great class.
A new class started yesterday with Jane LaFazio. Just got the lesson printed off this morning. It is another "Watercolor Sketchbook" class entitled "Designs from Life" and is through Joggles. Hopefully I will get a little more done in this one than the last one I took from Jane. Don't remember what happened, but I became totally sidetracked in that one.
I did get the color wheel dyed for our Dyehard swap last week and packaged it up at the first of the week. I didn't think much of the colors when dyeing it, but one should never rush to judgement due to the influence of the soda ash. It turned out much better than I thought it was going to, particularly the one I used brown as an additive. That did wonders for the fuchsia!!! It is a great fall pallette.
The light color wheel is on the left and the one with the brown additive to a medium color wheel is below.
I will have 8 different color wheels coming back from Mary in OR. Hopefully mine arrived today, it was sent Priority, doesn't mean much at times though.
So it is back to the greenhouse and planting this afternoon. I received a very nice Moleskin Garden Log for Christmas from my husband. I have started keeping track of what is being planted. I write it down inside because if I were to take it out with me, it would be a mess. I guess he thought I needed something after seeing all of the papers I leave laying around with names and numbers on them of veggies, herbs and flowers. I have the peppers, onions
planted so far. Only a week late.
herbs and flowers. I have the peppers, onions
planted so far. Only a week late on those. Hopefully I will have the tomatoes and lobelia planted by this afternoon.
