at least i've sketched out idea 1 for my partner's mug rug.
"Glückspilz" means "lucky dog/devil" in German
glück = luck
pilz = mushroom
dear partner,
do you like a circle-ish/square-ish mug rug? (inspired by the single girl quilt along...)
do you like embroidery? (hand and machine)
do you like toadstools?
do you like red & aqua? (i do, and i couldn't resist!)
do you like appliqué? (raw edge)
do you like dots? (on 'shrooms and fabrics)
too childish? not 'mature' enough?
Well, it's been awhile again, but I'm back to post a new series. After a very difficult year, one with almost no photographic opportunities and a burglary that took ALL my camera equipment, I finally got to make a quick trip up to Page, AZ in May and try out my new Nikon D7100 and 18 - 300mm lens.
This trip is clearly going to be remembered as the beginning of the learning curve with the D7100 - I won't be making THOSE particular mistakes again, especially with focus.
This first series is from a short hike to the Toadstool Rocks in extreme southern Utah. Not as sharp as I would like, but here they are anyway.
(Just noticed that this is my 3,500th Flickr post. Hmmm, that seems like a lot to me.)
These toadstool formations are just a short hike off Hwy 89 in southern Utah. Ink & watercolor, 4x6.

these little toadstools just appeared one day almost as if they thought the terrariums looked like a nice place to live. they're so wee and cute...i also loved the way the condensation was sitting on the glass...yup, random.
I made this blanket for my daughter as part of the Monthly Make run by Annie over at the Felt Fairy - thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.com
I put it together from a pattern that the very talented Joanie at Ninimakes was kind enough to email me.
Her lovely blog is:
I made one of these toadstool bookmarks and fell in love with the image...so I made a bunch more!

This is a new simplified version of the original toadstool pincushion which I sent to a friend as part of a swap in 2007. You can see the original pincushion here.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.
They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers from the ground upward. (Geology purists do note that only a tall formation should be called a hoodoo; any other shape is called a 'hoodoo rock'.)
Hoodoos range in size from that of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.
