Floral Day #3

 Watercolour:

Quicky floral #2

 

If I do one everyday,  by the end of the summer I may see improvement.  Right?

Too hot to be outdoors

 I declared a play inside afternoon. It is a good day to begin planning a felted wool still life design. 

Butterfly House/St Louis

Iris: Part 2

 The iris were simmered, left to soak, strained,  and simmered some more to reduce the liquid.  Once it became "syrupy ", I added a bit of vinegar. 

What did I get? A lovely grey!

Ink: Iris part 1

 I picked all my purple iris flowers and will begin to cook them down for ink. They looked so pretty in the bowl. 

Wool loving kitty!

 I have a little workstation upstairs in the garage to card wool. Someone has decided it is a great place to chill while I'm on the treadmill!
