Still waiting


When waiting for the doe to deliver, I get antsy and find it hard to stay sitting at the spinning wheel. The needle felting tool I ordered last week arrived, so I experimented on the small scene that I had in an earlier post. I am going to consider it done, so I can finish up a larger one. I am always reading and getting ideas from other sources that I can apply to mine. The last inspiration came from an art magazine that talked about artists taking several different photographs and making their composition based on several of them. I was trying to use just one photo and it was looking dull. The scene is real, but it would not have reminded anyone of the southwest. I needed a pinch of color, so I added ocotillos - although I do not have a single one on my property.
