Third Quarter


Still working on the third side of part three, but the end's in sight. I've got a bit more done on the fourth side, too. Maybe I can finish the third one before I go on Wednesday. There are a few pink flowers and a couple of blues to do.

Two Out of Three


Got some more done on the insides. The turquoise is done but for a very small piece of the third opening. Just as I'm feeling I'm making decent progress, I'm abandoning it for six weeks. Dang! But I really can't take everything and this was a good project to leave behind.

Celadon Redux


I added more celadon this week to the plaques and didn't get much more than that done. It's still making progress. Perhaps I'll finish this piece while I'm in Europe. Since this picture, I've finished off the outlines of the plaques across it. Now to fill them in.

Bluing Down the Arm


I filled in one arm of the darkest blue this week and added some more gold. It's to the point where I'm going to probably sit down and just finish off this quarter, so I can -finally- be done with part five. I believe this was the largest part of the chart.

Leaves Emerging


I've been catching up with the rest of the group on this. It It's coming along pretty well, I think, and I still like my color combination. It'll be coming with me to Europe.

Facing the Lady


This week I ended up working mainly on the Lady's face and hair. It's adding a lot of personality to have them up. It also means I'm getting close to having the top half done! Yes, the Lady is going with me to Europe.

Look Familiar


If you've been reading my blog for a while, the frog looks familiar. I made this Tree Frog Trio for my son last autumn. My sister in law saw it on my blog and told me how much my niece liked it, so I offered to make them again for her. I started last Wednesday and am already done with the first one. Maybe I can finish it before I go to Europe, but the more likely scenario is I'll mail it home from there.
