One of my wool birds.
Norton, our dove, who is in heaven now-we lost him a few years ago....
An old drawing of a dove. I must have used a photo as a reference.
I feel like I've been away from blogging for so long.
Hard to catch up with friends, but I will.
This summer I had day surgery-it went well, but it was good to have it over with.
I am slowly getting back to doing artwork again, and feeling the need to learn new things and even change up my usual 'style' of drawing and painting.
I made a quilt this summer! My very first one. I can't upload pictures to this blog anymore, but maybe I can scan one block from it to show you sometime. It's a little wonky for sure. I did all the quilting by hand with embroidery thread. It's a Christmas gift to my lovely daughter-in-law. I made one for her dog too.
I will show you a book I'm using to do art-it's Jeanne Oliver's book, "The Painted Art Journal."
I love it! I love how she asks the reader to make an inspiration board of things that make up your personal story. I usually don't really follow an art book- But this one I am going to do all of the lessons.
How has your summer been?
And what project or art are you doing or thinking of doing?

So good to read a post from you again- I miss you-hugs. glad your surgery went well and that you are able to get back to art again. I spent the day cutting up strips of cotton yardage from my quilt stash to prepare to make an amish toothbrush rug-lots of you tube videos and instructions on line anxious to try it along with the nailbinding
I have a very thick quilt that I made a few years ago-too thick to hand quilt so am going to try knotting it -a fall-winter project I really want to use it.
take care Hugs Kathy
Oh and I Loveee your bird-too awesome
Thank you for your blog and for sharing your beautiful drawing of the dove. 🌿 I’m almost finished with my diamond painting, but I’m struggling with all the black areas — it feels never-ending! Still, once it’s done, I know I’ll enjoy the whole picture.
It’s inspiring to hear how you’re starting fresh with your art and even exploring a new style.
