Painting Update and a Winner

02-09-15dropcloth

I love how my drop cloth is looking. I think I will need to turn this into something really cool when I am done. Since my last post, I have painted blues and orange/earth tones.

I love the blues, but I really love the earth tones. I am so happy with it. I hope when it dries, it looks as good. I have gotten into a rhythm of painting 6 ft of silk, letting it dry over night, painting a small test piece for the next color way and then going back the next day and painting another large piece. I just have yellows and purples to go.

I am making progress on Clay’s cowl. I have about 20 rows to go and they get shorter as I go as I am knitting the wedge and every other row gets reduced by 5 stitches. I love the texture that comes from the garter stitch cables.

    Congrats to Kay! Gerrie, I have loved seeing your dyed pieces lately. They look like beautiful art, just as they are. Clay’s cowl is beautiful. I love the color and the squishy quality of the cables. have a wonderful rest of the week.
