An Indian summer? The last few days have been glorious, and the bright heat today made up for the cool and overcast late summer we've had. I've been drawn to the colour red for the past few weeks, and here is a sample of the photography, painting, knitting and soft textile sculpture I've been doing.
Walking in the park with Dandy Doggins, the leaves seemed to be on fire in the late summer evening sunshine.

So, I've been doing a lot of knitting lately, probably because until this week, it didn't feel much like summer at all. I associate knitting with battening down the hatches and sitting by the fire!
Anyway, this is a shawl that I took to the park to photograph.

It's in a warmer shade of red than the picture above suggests, and it was way too warm to be wearing it to the park.
It was inspired by the magical colours of the late summer maples, and looked great draped in this small shrub.
Anyway, I don't know why, but here are some images of a soft textile sculpture I made of a magnolia pod. I don't usually work sculpturally, and I'm not sure it's successful as a work, but it made me smile.
Though I'm not quite sure what to do with it!
