The summer exhibition season is in full swing now, and the Aboyne show opened last week. That means that for the moment I’m up to my ears in measuring panels, ordering frames, mounting embroideries and framing them, all of which I really hate doing. But it has to be done. Here’s a picture of one of my panels (the pheasants) in the show. It's on the right with the reflections on the glass. I’m not entirely happy with the way the pieces are hung, but apparently things are selling well so I can’t really complain
A few pictures in the Aboyne exhibition
However even with exhibition things to do I’ve managed to find some time to put in some work on the zentangle zodiacs, and here are stitchouts of Virgo and Leo. These will eventually go up on the Designs for Sale part of the blog, along with designs for all the other zodiac signs. I only have Cancer and Capricorn to do now and the whole set will be ready to go. (Yes, I know, there are a few glitches here and there in these stitch outs, but those will be corrected before the designs go on sale)
Zentangle Virgo
Zentangle Leo
By the way, Cherri has just finished a big wallhanging which makes use of my owls and some other little animal designs. I love it – do have a look. http://thecherritree.blogspot.co.uk
I love the intelligent expression that the lion wears and the body art digitizing on the Virgo. But I think my very favorite are the leaves and waves in Virgo’s upper left corner.
P.S. Oh, I looked at Cherri’s page, too. Love what she did with the owls, and that really was a difficult challenge fabric. I like the Moroccan look of the elephants and their trappings.
I love these zentangles
Thanks Mia
Your work is inspirational and amazing! I enjoy receiving your emails.
Thank you!
I clicked on Cherri’s page and her interpretation of your owls is fabulous!Love the new zentangles with all of the different stitches and background motif designs. You used a unifying color scheme for both Virgo and Leo and I think it really adds a spectacular effect.
