 I got a lot done this weekend. I'ts just too hot to be outside so between some Olympic watching I quilted some veteran's quilts, blocked my Non Unus Pluma quilt, dyed some beach towels and finished my latest mosaic section.
We have Mallard ducks visit the pond often so I thought I should include one om the wall. Of course after I finished it and stepped back I realized I had my duck sitting on top of the water instead of floating in it so I'm going to call this the Jesus duck. He rules all other ducks. Believe it or not that beak piece was pulled straight out of my scrap container. No nipping necessary. The water came from a piece of potter that someone has used to test glazes. The mix of color samples was perfect for my water.

You don't seem to have any problem coming up with subjects for you wall. Great Mallard ruling the waves.

I live 27 miles from the Football HOF. There was a picture on-line and it looked like the artificial turf is worn out and all that was showing was the rubber pellets that are used to keep the turf in place.

well, even though your duck is 'on' the water....that is probably the way i would have done it, too. i don't always think of how it should be. but, it's your duck....so it's ok. well done 8/9/2016 08:16:53 am
Sweet, just like with quilting it is always great to find a piece that is just right straight out of the scrasp.
