Proto-type
I'm designing a new motif. He is the "rough draft" version.
Silversmithed: jewelry and tatting shuttles............ Glass blowing: crochet hooks, dinosaurs, ice sickles, pens, earrings, and spoons.......... Tatting: jewelry, motifs, doilies, hankies, books, crosses, and much more.
Cross
I started making a few diamond crosses to use as bookmarks or to hang somewhere. Love this blue one.
Fast
The diamond painting is fast. This was a "partial" painting, where the diamonds are placed in certain areas and not the whole painting. This finished picture is about a 12"x12" picture. I worked on this, in the car, while we were going back to Iowa.
River
The next day, we went to Dubuque, on the Mississippi River, to the aquarium/museum. Our favorite area was the fresh water aquarium.
