I finally got back into the studio the past two days, and it sure felt good! I made two more spirit dolls -- "Garden" and "Deep Forest" -- to take up to Absolutely Art Gallery.
I used some fancy threads that have been languishing for years in my thread bins. The sparkly blue one is WonderFil Dazzle. The doll's hair is silk ribbon that I painted about 10 years ago (!) and the beads are wooden.

I used the variegated Eleganza to embroider a chain stitch around some flower petals and added a little sparkle with beads.

Don't the colors in the Eleganza thread look like the colors in the fruit salad that I brought to book club last night? Here we are before diving into our excellent potluck meal and discussing "The Life Impossible" by Matt Haig, which I loved.
On the nature front, the yuccas in my yard have all sprouted their annual seed stalks, which are well over 10 feet tall. The birds love to perch on them, and the seeds will feed them for quite awhile. We're well into summer here in the desert.
Have a colorful day
