Oh wow Jean. Here I am, just now realizing that you sent me a message. I’m still getting acquainted with this website. It drives me crazy, I’ll be looking at a page but if my mouse goes to far up the page a different page pops up and I have to mess with the mouse to get my page back. That’s really annoying. And there are other problems with the way the website is set up but oh well. at least we have one. I like your cat. That looks like needlepoint, right? that is so cool making it so you can carry it around as “bling” on your pocket book. Great idea. Is it actually your kitty? I’m also getting used to using the correct names for techniques. I so love embroidery. Here’s my warbler that is on my Pres. Challenge. Don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it by the end of the year. I’m constantly finding more to do with it. But this is my own design. I drew the Palm Warbler from watching them in my backyard. No matter what, this piece will always be about her. She looks like she’s levitating, lol, but that’s because I didn’t put the fence in yet. She’s standing on my fence. First I have to fill in the background with the thyme grass, Granabana tree and Ptomba bush. It’s my fruit lot. They love to hang out there eating all the numerous bugs. (Living in florida comes with lots of bugs and lizards.) This is on a 16″ linen napkin. I used derwent watercolors to paint the abstract background, on top of which I’ll embroider the actual tree, grass, fence and bush. However, I just found a cool ribbon with leaves that I’m trying to make the ptomba bush. Well, enough of that. I could talk all day about this piece. I’m really loving it.
