Some of us spinners have a joke that we just make it to look at and pet.<br /><br />Gloria: good to hear from you again. I'm looking forward to my second class tomorrow morning. All fired up to draw something!<br /><br />Daisymum: I'd love to teach you to spin, but when I saw what you'd posted a while back, it looked like you were doing pretty well with your spinning.<br /><br />Crafty: they really do look better in person.<br /><br />Cathy: Lol! Hands were a challenge. I got some pretty tough comments from my teacher back at UT. My hangup is not being able to draw faces. Another teacher told me to quit saying that. It's true--if it has to look like someone, I can't do it, but I draw a pretty good monkey face from photos.

Definitely not my strong point. I have to photograph most of the hands I draw and then reduce the size and trace them. It is the only way I can produce anything that looks vaguely human..haha.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095469968246647873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048598851128171034.post-40630370887099423692011-04-03T04:32:39.210-07:002011-04-03T04:32:39.210-07:00lovely colours!lovely colours!Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048598851128171034.post-21434470260487803122011-04-02T21:39:33.897-07:002011-04-02T21:39:33.897-07:00Wow!

So good to finally be able to breathe long enough to catch up on blogs...really liked your drawings, always liked the look of conte crayons but prismacolors are really just a lot of fun! When it finally does decide to warm up here, I would love to start drawing outside again, rather than just imagining the pretty colors.<br />Smile today. :)Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973095629072994903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048598851128171034.post-29826927295496707692011-04-02T01:22:34.290-07:002011-04-02T01:22:34.290-07:00Most of the skeins were spun from fiber I dyed.

I love to spin, but it can take up a lot of time.<br /><br />Clovie Boy: Except for the soft purple turning to gray and the ones that have have washed out because of the lighting, the other colors are not too far off. <br /><br />laura k: I knew better than try to photograph under those conditions, but I just gave in to impulse. I did enjoy my years as an archaeologist, especially when we were out surveying or digging, although lab work was interesting, because sometimes we never knew exactly what we had until we got the dirt all washed off.<br /><br />FFurs and KarenM: Thanks. Sometimes I think "What time?" I try to pay less attention to detail these days, but old archaeological training dies hard.<br /><br />RG: Just don't get in a hurry for it.bunnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762412508859521913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048598851128171034.post-84089585220119242572011-04-01T20:25:14.649-07:002011-04-01T20:25:14.649-07:00Nice looking stuff.
