Catchin' up

Hallo,

  2 weekends ago I prepped a bunch of boards with cyanotype prints and a couple photos to add encaustic too.

  I have 6 large and 6 small hexagon shaped boards for my cyanotype/bee series and a couple for a bird themed show coming up. I will be busy...

  Also had to show off my dragon fruit - I have 3 buds on one plant!!! I only planted these dragon fruit at the end of the summer last year so am really happy to see buds!!!

   All caught up Now I think - it is going to be a busy summer for me. Am hoping to have more time in the studio come fall when I retire but I seem to keep planning things.....

Cyanotype fun

Hallo,

  My hubby was out of town last weekend and I took advantage of a smidgen of extra time to play with some cyanotypes. I painted the solution on in stripes and a grid to see how things would look.

  These 4 were the only ones out of about 10 that even showed up well. Something to think about for another try sometime soon - darker, more solid images seem to work better and I need to try some plants too - I just didn't feel like being out in the heat collecting weeds last weekend, too HOT.

   Happy Friday ya'll!!

Soldiers at Point Du Hoc

Hallo

  I used 2 photos that I took many years ago in Normandy - my hubby and I went to the Ceremonies down in France for the 50th Anniversary of D -day with a couple bus loads of American Legion and VWF folk.

  I painted - in encaustic - the bunkers and area around it and then added the photo of the soldiers. (printed onto tissue paper and embedded into the encaustic and embellished from there)

   The painting is 20W by 16 T and framed in a float frame. It is available on my Etsy shop.

   All for today - Take Care

Fayetteville PA Quilt shop

Hallo,

   While we were up Gettysburg way - we stayed at an AirBnB near Fayetteville PA and kept driving by this quilt shop. I had to stop in and am proud to say that I didn't even buy any material!!!!

  They had a wonderful display of antique sewing machines - some of them quite small. They also had a great classroom and a heart attack worth of fabric!!!

  We also managed to explore a few of the local antique/thrift/flea markets.

  All for today - Take Care
