This is just a scan of the handdrawn fonts- no editing. I'm also uploading a version where I edited the type, added color and boxes, etc.

I discovered that it was much easier for me to just use my hands (sort of like clay). I wasn't going for a machine-smooth look, and using my hands I could layer the mixture to create a weathered texture.

Countertop installed

I think Scott is pulling this a little, but either way, it'll need a good rigorous blocking to make the pattern stand out and not be caught up by the body.

This will go around the top of the hips, sort of. Should look nice on the recipient! And the arms look long enough, but not too too long.

So the mods are go. Which is good because I'm so not re-knitting this sweater from the start!

Started using green circles for trees in the empty spaces where the river meets the canal.

alternating both balls will become my gloves for this winter. or at least the fall anyway.

Here is my attempt at a seed beaded bail~~ Just not quite right. This was my second try, I was planning on adding a similar piece to the bottom with fringe but I needed a break!

Day 1! March 16, 2013

Ceasar wrap, snuggles with the kitty, figuring out exactly what I did for sock number one and starting sock number two, and finding out that my computer doesn't want to recognize the SD card from my camera. My next project after these socks; to design my own sock pattern.

Trial run in Impressions.

Knit Simple Fall 2007

Lots of color! I'm going to spin the variegated roving; I really like how

the colors turned out, warm orange, greens, browns and dashes of violet. I'm really happy with the orange; had a terrible time mixing the dyes into a

shade that I liked.

The aqua has some subtle shading; the fiber has a beautiful shimmer in the

light with this color. Some of the mohair crimp has come back in these

rovings since they were dyed; can't wait to see how it spins!

just a close up. you see, i paint the little dude figure first, kind of fast and light. light meaning i don't use very much ink. yes, i use india ink for the black. then i fill in the colors, outline it. after that i go over the black again making it nice and thick and dark. i also add little things here and there. just some final touches.

Collage for an possible illustration. Meeting with publisher next week! Wish me luck!

**UPDATE**: I totally got the job!
