Memories

Friday has zoomed around quickly.  So today I am sharing my own face for the Friday Face Off. 

A number of years ago, I went on a solo trip to the England.  I spent a week in London.  Much of the time was spent wandering the city and enjoying meeting people.  One day in my roaming, I came upon this plaque.  It marked the spot of 84 Charing Cross Road.  I simply had to have a photo.  Two young ladies were equally delighted to find this spot, so they used my camera and took my photo and I took theirs. 

As you can see, I had done some shopping and had a bag on my arm. 

At one point, I met this red-haired lady and had my photo taken with her. 

Don't we make a cute couple?

Finally, I will leave you with a song.

Face Off

To be honest, I have a respiratory infection (bacterial not viral) and time got away from me.  So I went to AI for some quick faces.  Here are my results. 

I think I like the top one best, but I wish it had the black background like the last one.

Weaving Detour

It seems that I haven't posted any creative hand work in a while.  But on March 3rd, I ordered a frame loom with a heddle bar to try a different type of weaving. This was shipped from Belgium and arrived on March 12th. (pretty fast I think.)

 Honestly it just sat in the box for a day.  Then I assembled the loom (fairly easy assembly) and added a warp to it.  For those of you who weave on various looms, this is probably the easiest warping I have ever done. 

Next I took the materials that I had chosen to start with and started weaving.  I must say that the shed (space where you pass the thread through to weave) is rather tight. But certainly functional.  I didn't like the stick shuttles that came with it.  So I pulled out one that I had for my rigid heddle loom.  And started using it. 

Today I have the piece woven and it is ready to be removed from the loom. 

What will I do with it?  I haven't decided, but I think it would look great

pieced with some fabric for a throw pillow cover. 

For now I am just enjoying the process of creation.

AI - Boys with Feathers

For the Friday Face Off, Nicole and I had talked about doing watercolor. Of course neither of us had time to actually do it. So we both chose to use AI.  The first one has a watercolor effect background that I love.  The prompt that I gave the AI creator was "boys with feathers" - which it clearly interpreted as "wings."  
For some reason, a lot of my attempts come out looking a bit like anime. 

The second one is boys with wings  in abstract(can't beat'em join'em philosophy) 

This one is darker and a bit mysterious. I like it.
