There was a bit of painting going on:
Creating a background
yellows
adding some greens
more greens and some brown, red
dried, and a little dull, but a good background for what comes next. I hope....
playing with leaves on an old, ugly painting
practicing painted leaf imprints
a ghost print
Thinking about adding leaf prints to the background......
Some stitching was accomplished this week. I made more Purple Project pieces:
I began embellishing PPP #4
I tatted these Bud Fragments ( Mary Konior: Tatting With Visual Patterns )
a few photos from my gardens.......
I hope you had a wonderful and creative week.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

Great post! Love your tatting. I tried it once but didn't get far. Your garden is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shirlee! I needle tat, which is easier than shuttle-tatting, I think. I'm catching up on all the garden work......so one of these days I might be able to Just lounge about and enjoy it. ;-) Hugs
DeleteYour garden is showing the work you've put into it Suz. Very pretty.Love those purple hues and tatting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. It's a good thing I can choose which parts of photos to show (not the weeds, or t he empty spaces....lol)

A lovely diverse post. I do love seeing summer gardens while we are in winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny! I like to see photos of flowers and gardens during our long, cold, snowy winters, too. It helps me believe in the promise of spring. I'm glad you enjoyed mine.

lots going on here painted fabric has worked so well ans of course the needle tatting is as always perfect, purple pieces looking very happy waiting to be transformed with your stitching and the garden is so colourful
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. I wish I had painted this on fabric--what a background it would make for an embroidered garden! Alas, it is only on paper. The gardens are enduring a hot spell, and we've not had much rain the last 2 months, so I have to water regularly to keep the plants alive. Hoping we get the forecasted rain..........Thanks.

You have been busy, lots going on, your garden looks beautiful with lovely flowers, I love your tatting and pretty with that gorgeous thread.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how your painting works out after an interesting start.
Margaret
Thanks Margaret! Unfortunately the gardens are a bit stressed from the lack of rain, but I hope we get some soon. I'm contemplating the painting, and what I should do next. The thread is a Lizbeth #129.

I look forward to reading your posts because they have so much colour and beauty.
ReplyDeleteJane, that's a lovely comment ( and compliment!) Thank you. Hugs
DeleteI love reading your posts, there is always so much to take in. It took me ages to realise I could overpaint pages I did not like! Your stitching is always fascinating and your garden is gorgeous. I agree with Penny, it is lovely to see summer flowers in our winters.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin! I threw out a lot of paintings before I realized I could add more layers to them, too. Of course, mixed media wasn't such a hot topic way back then. All the paper I threw away! oh, well, lesson learned, right?

There is always something (actually more than one!) that's interesting in your posts Suz. I like how you did the painted background - sounds like something even I could manage.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I think you could make lovely backgrounds, MA! Wanna come over and play with paint? Hugs
DeleteI agree with Mary Anne, your posts are crammed with inspiration from paint and stitch to the most beautiful flowers....truly lovely...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Karen!
