This One is for Tony
Finally Some Progress on Moose Alley
I finally made time to work on the painting I started quite a while ago...from one of my favorite scenic spots in Grand Teton, Moose Alley. I am really thrilled with the progress...Today I worked with Turner's Yellow, white and Payne's Grey...mostly applying paint with a sponge.
First I worked with the sky to give it some texture, then started to touch up the grasses in the forefront.
Then I filled in some of the background trees and detailed in some of the more prominant trees.
I am really excited with the results. It's been a tough month...so it's nice to have something good.

Newest Bags for Ana Cross Stitch

Newest Projects & Musings
It's been awhile since my last post here on Red Dog Designs. I am currently very busy with projects. I just finished a sweater for myself...my first knitting project just for me in a long time. I made the coat on the cover of the fall Interweave Knits magazine 2009. I used Cascade Ecologica Yarn in a chocolate brown color. It turned out beautifully...although a bit large for me...and it is very heavy...I figure it will be more like a blanket or very stylish and expensive snuggie. I enjoyed knitting the pattern repeat and mostly pleased with the instructions. I might add some belt loops and a belt to help hold it on since it is so large for me.
The second in-progress project - a wholesale order for Ana Cross Stitch in Anacortes, WA. I just finished the first large knitting project tote and am thrilled with the results. I should be able to get the others done and shipped to the shop by the end of next week. I love it so much I am going to make one for myself. The bag is very sturdy- made of pet screen like the others...but has a magnetic closure, inside zipper pocket, a grommet to pull yarn through, and a detachable matching zipper pouch. I will include photos soon.
Third ongoing project: I am now calling it the Sampson Project named after the great, late, Samuel P Plumpinheimer...the most fabulous Jack Russell. I am working with my boyfriend Dan on a book series featuring some of our favorite pets...and I am tasked with illustrations. Again...will post photos as things progress.
