I finished my spread in the sisterhood sketchbook for September. Autumn is my favorite season, I love the colors, the feel of the air, the cooler breezes, wearing sweaters, etc etc so I wrote a few of those things on my artwork of a lady falling in to a field of goldenrod. The sun is a long slanting warm september sun. I also love that september; with school starting, always seems like a chance to start over, get organized, get things right!
The second page is where we write about what we painted and I also did a quick color wheel from my college interior design class where we learned the word "shibui". It's the colors of nature, and you make it by adding 1 part of the color opposite on the color wheel. (Thank you to my professor, Mr. Nye 20 years ago.)
I also got some of those little circles made into pendants but only got one photographed for my etsy shop.
And I'm part of the etsy ugly cute team on etsy and a fellow team member had the great idea to use other team members art items for inspiration for her plush stuffed fleece creatures. You can see her shop here...

And one last thing... Does any one else love cemetaries or is it just me? My co-workers think I'm crazy to go for walks in cemetaries. But it's as close to getting out in nature that you can get in town, there's definately a feeling of peace there, a hushed reverence like a church I suppose, either from the old trees or from the spirits. And the old stones are so pretty, so my photos a day are from the cemetary this week...
steps to nowhere...
See ya next week!
