Light And Dark

This time, I added a little light to the bamboo and some dark to the middle leaf.

Finally, Some Air Show Pics

 If you get the chance to go, the biennial Paris Air Show is something not to miss.  We were able to go on three (very cloudy and rainy) days in June.  Next time, we're going to try to get in during the early part of the week when all the vendors are still set up.  The majority were on Friday, and we managed  to see some spiffy things.  A lot of these pictures were taken because it's neat stuff.  Some were taken because I thought the pieces looked like art in engineering.  Some, just because.  There were, by the way, a huge number of drones on display.

Just An Experiment

I've not been finishing temari lately, with the exception of this one.  It was just a small experiment and easy to do.  I learned some things from it, and it's not spectacular, but looks nice in a rustic sort of way.

Two Again

Here is the Kogin sampler on lugana.  I think I like the look better than on the canvas, even though the colors on canvas are more "my" colors.

Second Band

The second band's about done.  This piece is the same darning stitch over and over and over again.  At least it's pretty and in colors I like.

Scalloping Away

Kind of boring repetitions, but I'm trudging through them.

Office Fish!

Andreas decided we needed fish in our offices because he bought these neat gravity cleaning betta tanks on Kickstarter.  We found a place to buy bettas here and chose our fish.  The more blue one is mine and now installed in my office.  His name is B Blue, and everyone in the office likes him.  The other is as yet unnamed and still at the house.  Andreas needs to clean off his desk to make room for him.... anyway, pretty and social fish.
