In My Studio – May 7
.
Here’s what’s been happening in my studio:
I gave in an got a new craft gadget…the Flower Loom. I’ll be playing with this during May’s “Try This” posts.
Â
I worked on my owls…part of what I’m learning in my How to Paint an Owl E-Course.
You may remember that I’m participating in the 2012 Creative Color Challenge , but I’ve gotten a bit behind. Time to play catch-up. Each month, I’m making a yarn vase for the challenge. March’s color palette was Tranquil Blues.
I decided to try something different for this vase. Instead of flowers, I decided to add some beading.

 Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

Those shades of blue are lovely. You must have a lot of patience to make that vase! Deccy x
The beading works well with the vase. I like the wrapped effect too.
Where will you put it in your house?

Such a creative week for you! Love the blue bottle!
So pretty! Your owls are so creative and fun.
I am loving the blue vase with the beads!
Oh wow! I gasped when I saw each new thing today! I love how your owls have turned out, and them hanging together like that is so darned cute! I also really, really, really like that vase!
I love the owls. They look finished. Are they? The colors on the vase are beautiful.
I love all the colors!

the colours are stunning and your work as well. however, what touched me most deeply was the quote from Joseph Addison. “raises a pleasure in the imagination” just sent me to a BEautimous place!! thank you so much for sharing that!!
You’ve been busy!
Love the flower, I’m sure I had a flower as a child, so simple but so pretty and the vase is fantastic! I love all your paintings and watching them develop.
What a great guy to re do the business cards for you, love the design you came up with.
