Another one done with the beautiful hand dyed silks. If you've ever been to Maine and taken the ferry from Rockland Harbor to Vinalhaven, you will probably recognize this as the bridge to Lane's Island.
I've shown pieces of this one, but now here's the whole thing. I'm happy with the way it turned out. I love the colors, though they aren't my usual color palette.
I'm starting to work on a series of bugs, this being the first one. We'll see how many more there are.
And this one. I love this hand painted fabric I used for the water. It was just the RIGHT SIZE for this piece, so I figured it was meant to be.
I'm almost ashamed to show this photo. It's terrible, but as it turns out it's my favorite piece in the whole exhibit. I call it Sea Bottom Blues...
and a close-up, which is a little better:
THIS is my regular color palette. Blue. There's lots of beading and netting and gold thread used here and there.
Hope you like these...we're off for a few days of kayak camping..I LOVE SUMMER!

Love the trees! And the blue.
Great stuff.
I am so happy to see all your wonderful work lined up here. I just adore it! Miss you.
Have fun kayaking! Love your quilts, especially the bridge.
Is the hospital close enough to your house for us to go on a field trip tomorrow????? Cheers, Sarah
Wow, your beetle piece is very similar to some beetles I did earlier this year. You can see them here: http://the-portfolio.blogspot.com/2006/05/small-pieces.html scroll down through small pieces.
Great minds, eh! I may do more beetles too--such a great design for color and pattern play.
