Yup.. I know it was just a false spring but it was loverly... +5c in February.. wow... but now it's back down to -22.. much more Februayrish..(so do not think that is a word but you know what I mean) .. this is my third day off in a row.. I have accomplished some things..didn't put too much pressure on myself.. lovely mental health break..finished another blanket.. and on to the next one...This is done in a variegated green and yellow yarn with a sparkly twist to it...
When I was in the city the other day I saw some metallic pastels.. haven't really used pastels before but I cannot pass up anything shiny...lol.. I had base coated a couple of 6x6 canvasses black before and could just see it in my mind.. so here it is... feeling very rusty it's been so long since I played with any art... still thinking of some words to put on it but for now this is good...I am happy!! Soooo loving those metallics...and pastels.

Hey Kath, what a great canvas with the metallic pastels... you know I love metallic! You're not looking so rusty :) Baby blanket is sooo sweet. I hope you're feeling better by the time the babies get there. Thank you for the bloggy love :) but I have to say I'm horrible at following directions ;)

Hey Kath, I'd never heard of metallic pastels before, cool! Have you ever tried Scribbles Dimensional Paint, (I think that's what its called). It comes in some beautiful metallic colors too, and is great for accenting with dots or lines. Thanks for the award, the Liebster, haha, what does that mean anyway (Liebster)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie.. remember using that years ago.. should check the stash and see if they are still good.. I'd never seen these either.. fun stuff.. ummm think maybe it means lovely??? lol
DeleteYou go girl. I love this canvas. The birdcage and image are awesome. I don't think you are rusty at all,U just needed a bit of a push. Perhaps these pastels were screaming buy me for a reason. Get healthy and enjoy the award.

DeleteThanks so much for the award, Kathy! :) Hope that you're feeling better by now, I'm somewhat behind in my blog reading but have dedicated this morning to catching up. Love the new blanket, and that you've been back to work with your awesome creations! It's been a very mild winter here in Ct, warm with hardly any snow... but winter has decided to show it's stuff. Some snow headed our way for tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Melinda.. starting to.. way far behind on reading anyone's blogs too.. was cold for a few days.. now temps are up again.. very weird winter...lol
DeleteYet another lovely blanket - great work, Kathy!And those metallic pastels are really cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about spring weather, we've had a really mild winter here, too. As opposed to last winter, with three feet of snow at times...however, I think we're supposed to get some snow this evening, so we'll see what happens!
Congrats on the award! Also, "Liebster" means "favorite" in German...I looked it up when I got the award awhile back. ;)
Thanks Taylor.. appreciate it.. and thanks for looking up Liebster too.. yes it has been a strange one for sure...nice again here.. lol
DeleteA lovely award, and well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI did get my outdoor urethane. Now just to warm up the shop enough to go do a bit of work. Sheesh, it is cold out there. But it is supposed to warm up again tomorrow. All the best.
Andrea
