Newfangled Skirt


my friend, Elaine
gave me some beautiful fabric
remnants


i think this is a mix of cotton and silk
so soft and yummy


i cut it this way and that
hoping to piece together a skirt

wanting to hand stitch with thick thread

using no zipper
made it loose enough to slide on 
and cinch up with a belt

It was a wonderful project
for these ongoing smokey days
due to SO many fires 

it is said the fires will not go out 
until the snow arrives
and 
quenches their thirst

often my road looks like this:


now it is looking like this:

Sketch Book Drawings


a glimpse into recent sketches


simple drawings 


splashed with watercolor
and pencil


does one resonate with you
more than the others?

lovely week to you

DC: tiny


a tiny home
amongst vibrant life
 ~
inspired 
by last weeks painting:


It was fun to pick up needles and thread

when i did
two sentries appeared
to hold the tiny world in their embrace:


the back:


within the forests embrace
wild love beauty and grace


It is my pleasure to host this weeks DC 
with the prompt: tiny

please visit my artful friends
to see how they were inspired:
