Last week, at the Library, we had an Arts & Crafts Fair. This is only the second year we've done this so it is a small affair for now. Here is my friend's jewelry along with my art work.
Calligraphy...
Small note books made from old gift cards along with snowflakes made with packing material and a punch...
For the last 13 years I was walking to work...now I take the bus, so I'm spending a lot of time waiting...for the bus. This is the corner of Main and Chicago.
A dark picture, but I like the soft blue of the sky in contrast to the branches of the tree. This is one of the early Fall nights, after the change from Day Light Savings Time. It's that strangeness of it getting dark so early, when just a couple of days ago it was light.
I spent a good part of the Spring and Summer making these crocheted and felted purses. It was fun and at the same a learning experience since I made each one up from out of thin air, so to speak, using no pattern (except for the smallest one, which was a pattern from Lion Brand).
The part I liked the best was making the felt appliques. All that sewing, stitch by stitch; it becomes very soothing and meditative.
Each one is also lined in a printed cotton fabric, that I didn't include with this post. You can take a look in my shop.
Waiting for the bus home the other night, I got caught up in watching the leaves and branches of this tree moving in the wind. It was very calming, even mesmerizing.
And then, last night while waiting, I caught the clouds moving slowly overhead. I like it when the clouds are low and it feels like you can almost touch the sky.
Mr. Brown walking down the front walk...I made this picture on a web site where you can instert your own photo into one of theirs ( but I can't find the link at the moment).
This little guy was crossing Judson, at Main St., the other day. Nice contrast of the bright yellow and dark gray of the asphalt. He actually did make it across safely. I always wonder what bugs think when they are crossing a stretch of sidewalk or a street; do they feel like they are in some wasteland, being out of their normal green environment?
