Hi Y’all!
Goodness November!
Today I’m playing with eco dyeing.
I’ve laid out some fall foliage on white cotton and will see what happens.

Halloween
Leaves dance down the street
Pumpkins are lit in gloaming
And first frost moves in.
Art Prescription: Halloween always seems to mark the change from fall to winter. Temperatures fall and our first frost is in the forecast.
Diva was not too excited about her costume!
Photo Friday
Finn and Jaeger working on their Halloween costume.
What do you think they will be??
Windy
So Zeta made her way across North Carolina. Our freshly raked yard is a mess of leaves and pine needles.
Too windy for a safe horse ride, so we did horse anatomy with oil pastels.
I absolutely love children’s artsy souls!
New Stitch Kit
Super fun kit! Textile art! Fabric collage!!
Something brand new! Listed in my Etsy shop!
Cabin
I’m working bit by bit on this historic log cabin. Lots of feeling and details that I hope to capture.
Pen and Ink and Watercolor
Beautiful day to have my studio door open to listen to birdsong.
I started with a couple of pen and ink drawings from picked wildflowers.
Next I added a watercolor wash with yellows and blues around the flowers. Negative painting.
Visitor
Just then she was there
Perched in a dogwood, hunting
Swooped up in a pine.
Art Prescription: I love when I feel visited by Mother Nature. Today on my walk I spent some time visiting with a hawk.
I think a Red-shouldered Hawk.
Day Hike
A drive, rural roads
Barns and pastures, fall color
Woodland hike to damn.
Art Prescription: We set out this morning on a day hike. Just a 50 minute drive outside of Chapel Hill and you land in Alamance County, Saxipahaw, and great hiking!
Yes, we did pass the brewery going and coming home. Next time maybe we will have a cold brew!
This park appeals to a lot of people: hikers, disc golf enthusiast, historians, and equestrians.
We stopped to rest at the damn. Diva got to stretch and I got to sketch.
50th Anniversary
Our very good friends and neighbors are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Wow!
What a life and legacy they have created.
I did a couple of collage pages to go in a scrap book their daughter has designed for them.
