I'm such a non-sports fan. I didn't watch the Super Bowl. I went to the studio. I swept and mopped the floor. It has been a moisty, muddy winter. Then I worked on the shweshwe fabric project. The fish is coming along swimmingly. (har har). This is a not-great phone photo, but you get the idea.
I am quite liking the way the colors are working. I really had my doubts about those colors in the shweshwe fabrics. They are crayon box colors—kind of the basic, predictable shade of each color, which is never my choice, but I like what the black and the acid greens do with them. Now I need to figure out what kind of background will work.

I like to go back in my blog to see what I wrote on this same date one year ago, or three years ago, four or five. I was looking back today and came to
this entry on February 5, four years ago. What an intense, sad and strange 2 weeks I had been through. Makes me sad all over again.
Your fish is wonderful! I like the acid green and the pattern really does look like fish scale. I think sometimes it is good to reflect on where we were at some point in time. It makes up appreciate the up times and hope that there are less sad times. Life is a roller coaster.
ReplyDeleteI KNEW you could do something wonderful and creative with that fabric and you ARE. Super, duper fish!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo with you on not being interested in the Super Bowl! We spent a lovely day in Santa Fe!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard the word "moisty" but it is a good, descriptive one.
ReplyDeleteYour work brings sunshine to moisty places. Your fish is great.
You have raised the bar with your use of your fabric. Now I am feeling intimidated!!
ReplyDeleteThat fish is "splendiferous."
ReplyDeleteThat fish is terrific - can't wait to see what background you choose. Mary Ann
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of a complex pattern in commercial fabric, in my humble opinion.
