Friend Of Twelve by Twelve- Gray

I had this four patch made some time ago, using a painted fabric I had made and used for another piece.  I added more gray fabric and, since I found my freezer paper chair pattern during the "clean up and removal" process in my work space, I used it again to make another chair.   SOLD

So many grays are mixed with either red or yellow.  It's difficult to find a pure gray (white and black) in fabric.  I like my chair and now that I have "three" I can consider this a "series" and make more.  How fun is that?

86 degrees here in Maine today and I think it was well over 100 at the greenhouse.  I feel exhausted.  Every piece of clothing is damp or just plain wet.  And I am covered in dirt.

I started the day at 5:30, getting up to put together the watering system and watered my vegetable garden until the moment it was time to leave for work.  First thing I did when I got home was turn the system back on and get those poor plants a good drink.  A cold front is supposed to come through and make things better.  Hurry.  I am melting.

  1. LOVE LOVE LOVE
    Is it for sale?
    Really love it!No pressure-I'm just asking since I saw something on another artists blog and waited too long to ask-someone else got it.
    Praying for that cold front here too. It's 93 & brutal- making me feel sick. Hope you're doing better soon.

  2. I LOVE this! Don't tell the other Twelves I said this, but I think this is way more interesting than any of ours. Gray was not my favorite challenge, but I truly love what you did with it.

  4. I'm OK with terry liking your piece better than ours -- yours has a wonderful energy to it and I love your variety of greys! I'm glad you are playing along and giving us a run for our money. ;-)
