So it's off to Ballston Arts Show in Ballston Virginai again this Saturday. I did well enough there last time to make the trip worthwhile though I'm seriously considering Thurmont too. Sigh, so many shows , so little time.
Di is making a few new pieces, some more Flying Geese, a new Appalachian Star and in a departure for us, a piece with bevels. I think she is making a convertible on a road, which would be absolutely amazing!
Just finished a new Homage to Baltimore, see the blog from March to see the earlier version. I partially sunk the roses so that they are not as far forward from the design plain. I also omitted the yellow dots. I'm not sure that was an improvement, so I may return them to the design in future. However, the next project is to make a companion piece with a cornucopia . I was originally going to make 3 in this series, but Di suggested I make 4- one for each season. I like the idea so the one here is Summer, with roses in full bloom. The next will be Autumn, with a full cornucopia and fruit, possibly some wheat or corn. Thoughts for winter are easy: Holly leaves and berries , maybe a topiary sort of thing . It's Spring that is causing problems. Since I'm limited to a palate of gold, mid to dark greens and scarlet, with maybe a few touches of another color, I'm finding any thing other than tulips to be a tough design. Most Spring flowers are either clear yellow or purple . I'm sure I'll come up with something
