Tossed Salad - Mixed Media

The Art Right Now! group meetings are up and running! Tonight was our first real meeting for 2010 and it went great. Despite our initial aversion for the theme, every one made some great pieces. I've decided to start taking my illustration work more seriously and worked up a mixed media spot illo perfect for a magazine ad, stock illustration or as a member suggested - grocery store tote. I really enjoyed painting again and surprised myself by falling right back into it without much trouble.

Decisions, Decisions...

Here we are, 3 days into February, and I still can't decide what colorways to dye up for this month's Randomness series. It's going to be an all Maki month; I have so much "regular" yarn in the shop and the Maki are really lacking.

I love choosing colors randomly over at colourlovers.com and seeing how they work together in a palette. I let the random color chooser pick the colors and I line them up in the order I get them. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But I LOVE the combos that I probably wouldn't normally choose. These are the reason I'm having such a difficult time deciding - I love them all.

Look for popular colorways that have sold out - Umeboshi, Winter Outing, Twinkle Lights and more!
