New landscaped art quilt

Started a new landscape quilt.

Using batiks instead of silk.

I am creating as I go.

Sky and water are finished.

Now to work on the hills adding trees and grasses.

 Close up of grass area.

I will add shadows with paints after all the quilting is done.
Hope to finish today.

 
The sunny weather brought me out of the studio.
I took some photos of  the neighbors wood pile & the rock wall.

Life has settled down at Cedar Ridge Studio.
Now to get some creating done.
7 weeks to go before the show.

Planting a garden.

Time to spruce up the sun room.

We spend most of time out there.

Thought it needed some green growing things.

Time to get rid of the last of Christmas.

 Found a basket in the attic.
 Lined it with a garbage bag folded 3 times.

   Added some potting soil.

 Instant garden for the top of the TV cabinet.

 I found the bird house in the attic too.
Whenever I need something I go to to attic.
Better than a store & free.
I turned the top upside down for a planter.

 Lined it with a dishtowel & plastic.

 Instant roof top garden.
I just love green plants.

 Added some birds to the cage. They look better outside the cage.

 
Looks a little neater. A new vista to look at while watching the tube.

Studio remake done.

One advantage of waking up at 4 am.

You can get something done.

Since I will have a house guest for 2 to 3 months

I moved all my sewing and mixed media into an open area.

And out of the guest bedroom

I even like the new location better.

Better views to watch spring unfold.

My grandson got home from the hospital last night.

He will need 3 months recovery time.

Good thing his mother is a 25 year nurse with experience.

Falling asleep at the wheel going 45mph and meeting a tree.

Does do some damage but it will heal.

Now I can concentrate on creating again.

 A good place to clean up my mess each day.

      A cleared cutting table/paint station.

My sewing area greatly condensed.

The view is great out the windows.

I will enjoy creating in this space.

   The mixed media area with everything at hand.

 A nice U shape area to work in.

I love these carts from Sam's.
They are perfect for a mobile supply carrier.
Holds my brushes, paints and mediums.

Now to get to work and get lost in the journey of making art.

Southern Indiana Garden

This beautiful garden is in southern Indiana.

The owner retired from business and took 45 acres

and created the most beautiful gardens.

He shares it with the public.

I took my grand daughter Holly with me for a  June get away.

In exchange for her putting up with my garden tour.
She got to go to the Louisville Zoo.
Her fav spot was the reptile house.
I hate snakes  and it turns out she loves them.

Productive Week

Monday and Tuesday I threw and cleaned 29 bowls.

Wednesday I collaged.

I did 3 for my Solo show.

Walk Thought the Woods With Me.

I printed some of my river photographs on neat papers.

I incorporated them into my collage.

Fell asleep thinking that they were awful.

Looking at them this morning they don't look too bad.

I also did some backgrounds  for my next session.

I had to set up a temporary sewing spot.

My 47 year old son is living in my sewing studio.

I will have to learn to sew standing up.

Two more weeks of collaging than back to the machine.
