I remember you posting photographs you were going to use as inspiration. That should be a beautiful landscape Kim, I’m dying to see it!

I thought Miro or Klee….

I do like these jolly modern papers. This one is supposed to be Christmas wrapping paper. Doesn’t strike me as being particularly festive though although green and red are I suppose…

We had high winds all through the night so the trees are now looking very bare. My garden has even more leaves covering the lawn – especially as gardener didn’t show. I just hope I don’t end up having to pick them up…

Have you never painted landscapes? Is it a different skill set or do you just prefer doing portraits?

Love the colours and shapes……..very neo geo…..
I don’t know how you can use that needle….too many memories of darning ballet pointe shoes for me :0….yes I can understand your suffering :)
those photos are positively gorgeous…..it looks like paradise…and those colours are divine….sometimes I wish I could paint landscapes….when I see photos like these :)

I am very glad to hear it’s not just me who struggles with curved needles!

I am going to check out etsy. Even if I just put a few books on there to see how it goes….

i really like the paper on this, very different from your usual posts.

and you should definitely check out etsy. even post some of your wonderful items there. [i am a but partial since i also list on there. and your items would do really well!]

It’s funny you should mention Etsy, I was checking it out only yesterday! You are right, they do sell lots of wonderful handmade crafts – including books.

As a suggestion, there is a site called etsy.com that I love for buying “crafty” items. It’s a great site because it really has amassed a huge group of quality artists together.
