Out of the studio to draw, back to the studio to muse and plan dyed linen piece

Early morning drawing of marigolds on the deck, for #drawingaugust.  I'll be sorry when this month long project is done, but I plan to create an artist's book from the portfolio of august drawings.



Then I was back in the studio, now that the heat has abated enough to be up there more than briefly, and I'm moving pieces around on the piece of linen I dyed with turmeric, shibori wrapped, to see what comes of the combination of Dorset buttons (may be more of them) and beaded fishlike shape, which may or may not stay, depending.  The yellow is much more pronounced and variegated in rl than my camera captures. None of these is stitched down yet, still at the moving about and throwing out stage.




Anyway, I thought you might like to see what's up, to date. There will be more foliage of some sort, or a net overlay, something or other of that nature.  I'm thinking another Vilene piece of netted stitching, maybe using a drawingaugust drawing for the template.
