Bookmaking Weekend

Sandpoint, Idaho
Fabulous little sushi place... they served the largest glass of wine I've ever had :)
Beautiful space built over a waterway (much like Florence, Italy) ... maybe for a gallery someday??
Figuring out drum leaf book binding. It was a bit slow going for me, but I finally got it! (no diagrams... I need visuals like I need oxygen)
Instructions for the caterpillar stitch - so much fun to do. This was only a decorative embellishment for the cover. Hopefully I can learn how to bind using this stitch. I'm planning on doing more bookmaking to go with the printmaking... I need a class! Happy Sunday..we're off for a Corgi walk in the sunshine :)

Color from Food and Yarn

Knit print... drawn from shadows on the knitting needles (in the round) and ball of yarn. This was a printing experiment. Next time I'll use white paper and other ink colors. (not too crazy about the green ink!) Was a fun print tho, I have another one to show soon, I'm doing a series of these.
I'm definitely not a 'foodie' or even much of a cook but I do love the colors of fruit and vegetables. Was planning on making strawberry shortcake this week... the kids have never had it before. (hmm, how could I incorporate chocolate to get them to eat it?? :)

Birthday Party with Daffodils

We had a fun little birthday for my nephew today who turned 8! Nothing like yummy chocolate birthday cake. We also had a big feast of salmon, shrimp, roasted yellow fin potatoes with red and yellow peppers... etc. But, my fave was the company and the spring flowers! Hope you are having a nice Sunday eve.

3 Teacakes... finished!

After working on this painting this morning, I'm much happier with it now. I like to tweak my paintings after I walk by them throughout the day and think in passing, "Oh, it needs blue there, or lighter value there..."
