It's good to be getting back into the studio...

...and playing with colour.

I had a chance to 'finish' (do we ever really finish anything??) the half dozen 4" x 3" collages,

and I'm really enjoying these colours.

I was gifted a pile of threads recently (thanks, Eileen!), so turned them into a collagraph.  And yes, I know you thought I was crazy for asking for them. 😉

It  looks really lovely turned into a gel print, though...what a luscious background this will make!

I've continued to work on Chloe's birthday painting - it's coming up much too quickly.

Of course, the leftover paint has been made to enhance a dryer sheet, and that, too, will be utilized elsewhere.  No doubt you're relaxing into this quiet colour.  😄

We've had a mixed week of sunshine and rain, so our irises are looking rather lovely!

This past long weekend was our Blossom Fest (the 83rd, I believe).  Although John was too ill with a cold/flu and unable to enjoy the huge number of events, we did happen upon the setup for the Childrens' Parade on Monday.  I really loved this costume on one of the volunteers.  It cracked me up when she told me 'my mom made it for me'.  

Between the costumes on the volunteers and the childrens' enthusiasm, I've no doubt the parade was outstanding!

I'm hoping your week was colourful, fun and just as playful to boot!  See you on the other side...
