Now I am not saying that RED is my favorite, but our automobile is red and we have had a Red one for years. One time we had traded cars and only person who realized it was our Granddaughter. We had a bench back seat and then the new one had captains chairs. There she was maybe 9 and she is the only one who knew our steel stallion was new.
I could say we have a LOT of Red in our house and would not be stretching it at all. Several large rugs, some walls and assorted things. So maybe Red is my favorite color, but really how can you choose one color? They all have their charm and are just everyone so pretty. I know that is a strange thing to get to chatting about but it just popped in here and said I want to be talked about.
Kathy Shaw gives wonderful tutorials, here is where you can find them. She does beautiful needlework besides tutorials. Now I was blog prowling and found one on her site for trees. I thought TA DAAAAA, what better for Fall on my block of the month than a tree? A Fall tree with beautiful orange leaves gently falling to the ground and giving a special look. I also get to use the Fall colors that I love to see.
Here you go, my Fall block. The leaves were some plastic ones I had but they just didn't show up well. Sooooooo I put gesso on the backside of them and of course so faerie glitter on the front. After all one of my faeries is the center of attention on this block. The silk ribbon work, buttons and lots of beads and sequins. Right up a Texan's alley ----bling. It is hard for me to stop on these sometimes but it is just so much fun. To combine my paintings, printed on fabric and the new needlework I have learned last year.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my world.

Annette! I saw this on the CQ blog and thought it was absolutely stunning. I was hoping you would post about it. The colors are perfect and the owl in the tree is...sorry for this...a hoot. I love this block. It POPS!
ReplyDeleteLOL thanks girl, the owl was a last minute addition. I thought why not? Guess that is what I love about CQ no rules just create. Thanks for popping in. xoxo
DeleteYour fairy looks right at home among the bright reds and other fall colours. I'm afraid out fall colours are all gone - no leaves left on the trees and white stuff on the ground.
ReplyDeleteLovely block Annette, great representation of Fall and all it's splendor!
