from 10 til noon-Color and Compostion continued

this morning's work (ignore the dates on some of the photos because its not correct, i've been fooling with this camera to fix it for some time now, i think i've finally corrected it and am now in the right time zone w/ daylight savings time) and now its lunch time. the menu: fried okra with horseradish sauce and a glass of sherry. the music: Strange Fruit, an orchestrated jazz movement that combines story telling and choral ensemble.

lesson learned from the above exercises: patience is required to do thread painting.  after lunch, i'll do the apple and orange and the border. also, its annoying to me to stop to change thread colors, (try working monochromatically) but once i do, i quickly forget the annoyance (but this hasn't been tested on a quilt requiring a lot of thread changes either).
