On this grey day in Golden, it is pretty balmy at 16º — compared to tomorrow's forecast of a 5º high, anyway! It is uncommonly still and the snow is building up on top of the tree branches. This is beautiful to look at — at least from the warm comfort of my hooking chair!
I am working on a piece called Letting Go. As this piece continues to evolve, I have changed the little girl's shoes to black, and done some work on the foreground. I love the way the spot dye with the bright yellows and greens is looking like ground foliage! I hesitated using it, because it seemed SO bright. I do like mixing the brights and dulls together to try to achieve of feeling of depth . Right now it looks as if the mom and girl are floating on the foreground, so I am going to have to give them some weight by grounding them or at least their shoes! I plan to work on this rug some this afternoon and all day tomorrow, and hopefully finish up at least the hooked part of this rug. Whipping the edges will take some time, just because the rug is so big!
