As I recently started back into punchneedle I realized that something was missing from my work. So I started to explore a little whimsy -- fanciful designs -- fun, bright, light colors. This little bird design popped up ready to be colored with tiny loops and thread.
What colors would I use? What combinations? Out came my stash of Wildflower threads from Caron. The color combinations in these thread skeins are always a wonder to me. I can stand and look at them, hung up in the store, forever - except that the store has certain hours and eventually I would be thrown out.
I leave you with the quote below - because I believe it will become my daily motto over the next few months.
"Today was good
Today was fun
Tomorrow is another one."
Dr. Seuss
Love the quote. I look forward to seeing your whimsical bird.

I'm all in favour of whimsy - you go for it!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to be just catching up...this is our daughter's getting ready for wedding summer, and things will be busy throughout. I just returned from Massachusetts, hot there too! Anyhow, messy you, messy me! It's how we get inspired. About this post, I want to see the results of your "coloring"! Absolutely lovely colors with the word "desert" used to describe them. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE this direction! AND a bird. Right up my alley.

He's fabulous and I love the colours coming out from your Caron skein. Such a lovely way of working with variegated threads.
