Fall is almost here, if you discount the fact that the high tomorrow in Florida is supposed to be 91 degrees. I will be glad when the high temps go away for awhile, even if it does only drop 5 degrees! For a girl who grew up in Newfoundland, where the average summer temp hovers around 61 degrees, these Florida temps of 90-102 in the summer are just killers. Add to that hurricane threats and wildfires, and you will see why I am excited about fall.
I made this two-sided bookmark for a swap my friend Sandy Hunter is hosting. The first picture, the front, features two of my own patterns - punkin' and blox. The back has ambler and avreal, two patterns I've not used before. I really like avreal - the one down the middle! Color is courtesy of my Koi watercolor set. Shimmer (if you can see it) is from my twinking H2Os. Shipping this off to the swap tomorrow. When I receive one back, I will post it here for you to admire :).
Kali and I are in Maryland waiting for hurricane Sandy to hit. We expect much rain and wind and some flooding, no power, you know - all the nastiness that comes with hurricanes. We have an appointment at the culinary school on Tuesday for Kali to take an entrance exam. I don't really think at this point that this appointment is likely to happen, but we'll see. In the meantime, I have a nice cozy hotel room and lots of time to create art! Not much editing ability, or sizing photos, so what you get is what you get. I've even thrown in a pattern I messed up inadvertantly made. I'm going to call it punkin' in honor of the fallish pumpkin appearance it took on as a life of its own. Enjoy!
