I swear the days are just flying by…..
First, I’d LOVE to THANK Kristin LaFlamme for the FABULOUS postcard I received in return for a small donation for a walk she was doing HERE.
Both our postmistress & DH also LOVE it!!!
What have I been doing you may be asking? Lots of reading thru books & magazines that I’ve been collecting for most of the year…..and playing in my sketchbooks.
Below is a clip from an old magazine – think it was Real Simple but could have been a Martha Stewart. The Real Simple magazines I got from the library before they tossed them (as they were old) and Mom used to get Martha Stewart ones.
When I look thru magazines, I look for inspiration for colour, design, etc. This one touched me because of the many possibilities those borders on the pottery gave me…..I played with a few sketches on this page which by the way was started in August, then another page has some enlarged and expanding on those designs. I may never use the designs or I may use them for a new piece as a beading pattern or as quilting designs. So many possibilities!!!
Also, I have been more & more thinking of doing some NEW WORK on my Metis heritage and since 2010 is going to be Year of the Metis in Saskatchewan, its the kick in the butt I have needed to start working on designs for new pieces.
