Sky Light

Hello,

We have a sky light in our bathroom and this morning when I was there , I saw a squirrel on top of the space. He stopped to check his front paw and I admired at his soft white fur in contrast with his black feet. He did not stay long and my eye then moved to the branches of the oak above. It has grown from a small finger sized twig that we planted over thirty years ago to a wonderful tall full tree that nearly crossed that sky light that in near the center of the back of the house. That thought lead me to think of the many trees that we have planted in our yard over our long lives here. We have so many now that a vegetable garden is impossible. I did have one in the back for many years and the tomatoes were so plentiful, I had to give them away to the neighbors. Over time I have traded that for hours of shade and lots of raking. I love the trees so I would not trade any of them and the squirrel that they attract.

Last Saturday was the Flinger Lakes Fiber Artist meeting and although we were a small group, folks had lots to share.

Victoria has finished her box project and it is wonderful.

Anne is still working with her challenge piece, and making progress.

Maureen dusted off her watercolor paintings shills .

And because it was there I had to take a third look at the wonderful show at the Schweinfurth. It is so powerful!

There was the opening of the Assiated Artist show on Sunday and I was handed a nice prized along with the promise of s solo show in June.

Sharon, Victoria and I meant to do some planning for the La Moyne show in Jan . Sharon is working on this piece to be a part of that event.

The Sisterhood of the Scissors and the Pixies had on line meetings as well.

Progress Report: Stream Bed This piece is 24″ wild X 20″ t. I finally decided what way was up on this piece and added the wire to the back. I sure enjoy ding these hand pieces and I pulled out the stuff to start another this morning.

These works really play to my strong interest in textures.

Rough Cut I have moved on to the next scissors project. I sure hope the wool frays a lot when I wash it so there is even more texture here.

Tropical Floor I did the free motion drawing on the roving and Angelina to create the fish and stitched them down. The sea weed is made from some of the dyed wipes I did earlier this year.
