Woooo Hooooo! I have representation in Georgia for the jewelry and photo memory quilts! Thank you Diana for the phone call and thank you Bret for passing the web site on. Things are getting fun. I'll pull the "for sale" page tomorrow until after the show, until we get back from fishing. Thank you everyone for all the help and encouragement, I could not have done this without the kick in the pants.

I delivered the photo memory quilt to Carlene today. It made her cry a little, tears of joy. So of coarse I had to well up a little. I can't see someone else cry without jumping right in there with them. I'm glad she liked it, I enjoyed making it for her, sweet lady.
I ordered some sterling silver wire today so I'll soon have the watercolor jewelry available in sterling silver. I am not happy with how the silver craft wire turns out. A few more sales and I'll order the gold wire and get a few done up in gold. Maybe a few neutrals? Wow, busy two days. I got some more pendants just about done, just need to varnish the back. I'm working on a small silk piece, playing with an idea, trying to work something out. My carpenter still hasn't shown up to make me some more frames for the silks so I'm going to try something different. I like them mounted in the open frame but I can't wait on my him forever. I'll try mounting this on on a canvas and see if I like it that way. I also got to paint! Yeah! Larry's on the fabric, painted and the borders on. I'm not sure if I'll start on him tomorrow or paint the silk? Either way should be a good day. He's looking pretty good even in the "ugly" stage. I think he'll turn out really well. And to top it all off I got my taxes done and two thirds of the dining room carpet shampooed. It's amazing what can happen with a little encouragement, when someone tells you they believe in you and your talent. I'm going to try to hold on to that feeling as long as possible. Who knows when it will happen again. Got this one done today. I need to iron it and put in the hanging rod. It turned out really nice. I'll have to try to get a close up of some detail. I populated the photo memory quilt gallery. Click on gallery, then the picture quilt to see more and larger versions. I got the borders on, laid it on the batting and figured out I was out of fabric for the backing. I'll have to run into Hamilton or wait until next week when I go to Missoula for fabric. I did get the last scarf heat set and washed. It was really good practice for me with the resist and trying out different techniques. It is bright, bright, bright! I'll have to work on a new project tomorrow. Maybe work out another design to use in the open frame silk picture. I need to call Chris and see if he can make me a couple more frames. |
