And............. here is the shape that we have to bring to the picnic this week.
I played around with this late last week. I had a set of colored pencils out and was just kind of trying out color combinations to see which I liked best, not sure where I wanted to go with it. Before I closed the book on it I decided to add the little acrobats.
So last night I set about to try expanding on it and got caught up with pencil and ruler in hand while a thunderstorm was quickly approaching. This is as far as I got before the lights began to flicker and the power went out. I knew it would be some time before the storm ended and probably even longer before the power came on so I turned in for the night. (The power came back around 3 a.m.)
And since tonight I was busy making deviled eggs for our work "end of summer picnic" this is all I have to offer this week.
Please take a look at what the other Picnickers brought this week by clicking here. And should you want to join the picnic next week, the theme is CURLY.
Now I have to write a note for HWNSNBP to pick up paprika in the morning so I can "spice up" those deviled eggs before I leave for work.
I'm going to think of the first version as your take on the theme. I like how simple this is & the added acrobats are a lot of fun especially the last one dangling a the corner down there.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
Thanks lissa. I thought they were kind of fun.
DeleteNice work, love the colours here. Maybe you can continue the second wip!
ReplyDeleteI have such a hard time choosing colors and usually wind up with the same color pallet. This was a fun change.
DeleteOh. you are a hoot ... I love your little acrobats on the colorful squares. But your lights out version has great potential and I am wondering if you will ever go back to it and make it shine ... I love a good storm, but don't like it when the power goes off :( Bet you slept well though :)

I try to add a little humor Andrea - glad you like it. I'm still debating whether to go back or not. And yes, it was a good sleep.
DeleteYour little acrobats are so cute! Looks like you have the beginning of a quilt there!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe summer is at an end. School started here a week ago.
Thanks! You're right, it does look like it could become a quilt. Maybe I'll just do that - we'll see. Summer goes by so quickly, doesn't it!
Delete"This is as far as I got before the lights began to flicker and the power went out." - Wow! Well, thank you for even geting this far then. This has promise adn woudl love to ahve seen where you would have taken this with colour. Good thinking processes along the way with the acrobats, etc, Lorraine. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePaprika with deviled eggs is the only way I ever eat those! Yum. Please bring some to the next picnic! :)
Honestly, I wasn't really sure where it was going. Maybe losing power was divine intervention (or just the opportunity for a good excuse). I would love to bring some deviled eggs to the picnic should we ever actually gather in person. And they will definitely have paprika on them!
DeleteI like all the little people in your colored piece. Playful. When the power goes out life is indeed different.
ReplyDeleteTHank you Tammie Lee. Yes, life is different. And I should have shut off all the light switches before I went to bed!
DeleteI love the addition of the acrobats...so fun! Nice and colourful too. :)
