This "Pencil Art" image was produced from an image of colour pencils and then manipulated in Photoshop CS. The resulting images are very huge and have been put onto a black background because this shows the colours most effectively.

 

I have been producing "Pencil Art" for around two years now and every so often I add to my growing portfolio of work.

Comet spindles made by Tracy Eichheim of Woolly Designs. Perfect! Production spindles.

Such a profusion of flowers but no insects seem to visit at all.

 

In a field hedge near my house.

Walnut and tiger maple are the woods chosen by Dave for this beautiful spindle. He has used pyrography (burn etching) to adorn the notched 2 1/2 inch walnut whorl with his signature leaf motif. The overall length of the tiger maple shaft, including the brass hook, is 10 inches and the weight is 1.1 ounce.

 

A small sample from my spindle collection. Most of them were given to me by very special people, and one was custom made by a local woodturner.

I made yarn. Of course I still need to do stuff to it before it's really really really yarn (like stretch and skein and wash), and it may be a bit weird in spots, but y'all... it's YARN.

Fiber - my own blend

De kardinaalsmuts (Euonymus) is een geslacht van ongeveer 170-180 soorten bladverliezende zowel als groenblijvende struiken en kleine bomen. Ze hebben een groot verspreidingsgebied in Europa, Azië, Australië, Noord-Amerika en Madagaskar.

 

De bladeren zijn tegenoverstaand (een enkele soort: afwisselend) en eenvoudig ovaal gevormd, 2-15 cm lang, gewoonlijk fijn getand. De kleine bloemen zijn gewoonlijk groenwit en onopvallend.

 

De vrucht is een rozerode vier- of vijfkamerige bes, die opensplitst om de vlezige oranje zaden te tonen. De zaden worden door vogels gegeten, die de zaden na vertering weer uitscheiden waardoor de zaden verspreid worden.

I love these funny looking flowers, which come into their own when the tree are bare and the colours of winter are beginning to get that bleached out appearance.
