Green Notes

No, not money.  More small collages in my “Notes for a Friend” series.  I’m now working on three new green collages, with accents of fuschia, etc.

After making the first three red ones, I thought maybe I could do a sort of assembly line process with these next three.  Wrong!  There’s absolutely no substitution for thoughtful consideration of each piece of fabric.

Here’s #4 well underway in the colors I originally planned.

I’m working with scraps only on these small pieces.  My green scraps share a container with the yellow ones and at one point one of these spilled onto the work table.  That gave the idea to add a little yellow.  Like this.  Just a little spark:

 Then this one, #6, got quite a bit more.  And some blue, too!

After some initial frustration, (when I was trying to force a production line approach,) I’m now enjoying these quite a bit.

P.S.  See December 18, 2012 and forward to see the first three red notes.

    Looking lovely Ellen. What a fun project. I’m making prayer flags this year for some smaller things to do.

    Thanks, Sally and Sue.
    I’m so glad to have my blog functioning again (after being hacked!)

    Sue, I’m sure the prayer flags meet the same need for small and speedy creations. Always fun.
