This week saw the completion
of two more table rugs. For these two, vertical stripes were added
on the lower section for a slight change of design. I tend to veer
toward painting the metal parts in a shade of gold, but it just did
not fit with the green rug, so I switched over to silver.

While shopping this week, I
came across a great book on color. "Can't Fail Color Schemes"
by Amy Wax. The link is to Amazon which has it through third party sellers. Barnes and Nobles has the book available new here.
The book has sections on
color meaning and perception, how light affects color and great
photos of rooms decorated with various color schemes.
There is an explanation of why each color is used in the room in combination with the
other colors. Though the book is on color in interior design, there
is no reason why these color combinations could not be used in
artwork.
Kami LaBerge, my daughter,
will be guest blogging from Los Angeles the next couple of weeks, as
my husband and I have set up house sitters and pet sitters and are headed off to Scotland to celebrate our 29th
anniversary. Next week, she will be writing on the colors of
Southern California. She has a bachelor's degree in Art History and
a master's degree in Library Science.
I am busy making lists of
galleries and woolen mills along with the castles and pubs we plan to
visit, so there should be plenty to report on when I get back. Think
back to the wonderful vacations you've had or those in your future and have a great day.
