Punching and Paddling

I decided to make a new piece with the sheep design. This one I added a date and the word, wool on the sheep.
I also used a higher height for the design and border and the lowest height for the background to give it a sculpted look.
I like how it came out, it reminds me of old siganage. It will be up for sale tonight, on my ebay site.

I am working on the patterns. For some reason the scans did not come in as good as I planned, so I have a bit of cleaning to do, so I can give you the best possible graphic when you print them out. They should be ready this week.



Today I was finally feeling good enough to get out and go paddling. And, the weather was perfect for once.
We went to Burlingame state park. It is a large lake and lots of shallow waters, so I can paddle and jump in for a swim when we get too hot. It was really nice getting out in the boat, finally and enjoying the water and scenery.

  1. I love being out on the water! It's so peaceful and serene!

    We had cooler weather here today though...it almost felt like fall!

    Have a great week!

  3. Debbie, I'm lovin' that punched sheep. So cute and the colors are so perfect.

    I also so enjoy your pictures of your paddling. I would never be able to do something like that but I can live it through you, I guess.

  4. Hey, Debbie - the sheep design looks fantastic!!

    Isn't it nice to have a few good days here and there? Today was another rainy one... The summer that never was!

    Hope your table works good for you. I need something to get me motivated! I've been in a funk for a l-o-n-g time now!
