~ Midweek Musings ~

… and a

 Happy Wednesday to you

~ Friends & Folk ~

More progress has been made on BeeWitched…

I've finished her dress and have moved on to the background ~

yay!

… since the 2 main motifs are so big, 

and have so many different colors & textures going on in them,

I decided to keep the background very plain… 

I chose a tone-on-tone 'black' 

{which consists of blacks, dark greens & brownish-ness}

all in the very same wool.

 and have big plans for the border though…

I will bring those colors back around for my finish!

"oh... hey Ig!"

"what's that you say…?"

Iggy is always chattering-on about something or another….

I've been in my sketchbooks again ~ just finished up this Lady last night…

"Witch Stitches"

 2016 ~ ©Notforgotten Farm ~ 

I love how her hair floats along with her sewing needfuls…

{{ can you see her little friend? }}

perhaps her tiny companion startled her ~ 

… or she is allowing her stitching tools to enjoy a bit of flight?

Her wizened face & gnarled hands hold many stories I'm sure.

{and I wonder what secrets that skeleton key on her waist can unlock?}

I enjoy sketching in my 'down-time'…

these penciled scratchings are the impetus for my needlework & folk art designs, 

even though these are much more detailed 

when rendered in pencil & ink, 

~ than in cotton thread or wool loops.

I like to flit between my more primitive & naive style

 to more of a 'fine-art' look…

and I usually can find my niche somewhere in there with my style

that I call

~ 'Primsical' ~ 

{{ not quite real but certainly not total imagination only }}

Hoping you can all find a little magic in your week!
