<\/a><\/p>\nAfter: Although this color – Dried Lavender at Sherwin Williams – wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea, I really like it. It makes my house looks more like me. Since I plan to live here until I can’t live alone anymore, I am not concerned about what the next homeowner might think; I’m much more focused on what I like, what makes me happy. This was one more step.<\/p>\n I took the shutters down in the morning (with some difficulty as the old flathead screws were very rusty and I had to be careful not to strip them), then started painting at noon when my daughter and grandson left after their visit. I got 2 coats on the front door, the shutters, and the side door, and was putting things away at 5PM. Not bad for 5 hours work! This morning I got new phillips head screws for the shutters and put them back up in literally seconds per shutter.<\/p>\n A few days ago I also got some shots of recent weaving. So here you go.<\/p>\n You’d seen the flat black and white hand painted Tencel shawl. I turned one of the three into a mobius. A standard shot first.<\/p>\n What happens when you turn it sideways? A slightly different look. If Dolly was larger than a size 8, it would be easier to dress her differently.<\/p>\n And if she had arms, even more so. Photographing my shrugs well seems impossible to me. So how the heck will I display them at a show? I have no idea and am hoping you have suggestions.<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s the first one, with a mostly cotton warp (the hand painted parts are a bamboo-cotton blend) and a natural cotton weft. And the second, with a black tencel weft.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
