March update





A feather pen and ink drawing.
Here's our winter resident.
 
Well, here we are in March and I haven't put an update on here since January...., where has the time gone.  Needless to say, I've done quite a bit of weaving, and my next project is based on  this feathered friend that keeps peering at me from the lawn, through the window.  When I make a move to photograph him he scuttles!  But, I did get one or two pictures, and based my next project on him, and his friends. 

This bird is making a hasty retreat after seeing my camera.
Here is 'Flash', called because of his
white wings.  His head is teal blue,
their colours are brilliant!
 I have used the colours of the pheasants in my latest project, browns, tan, white, fawn, teal blue and Lincoln green.  There aren't two alike, they have caused a dilemma recently as their colours have become more vibrant and made my original warp look dull, oh well, that's a challenge to overcome.








Here is my latest warp, which has a long way to go.

I have lots of ideas for creating fabrics in wool, based on the above birds.



Come back to my page soon, for an update on the results.
