Next step: days of embroidery. Days.

What I've Been Up To
Making an album cover for the band Gold and Glass. I just finished step three right this second. Photos are wonky because I am tired and the scanner isn't big enough for the thing. It is a silhouette cut-out and eventually will be accentuated with embroidered flowers and lines. The rule was four colors only, (black, white and two pinks) so texturize, texturize, texturize is my current mantra. The boys wanted a car parked under a Japanese Saucer Magnolia tree, with a suggestion of a person in the car.
Next step: days of embroidery. Days.

You rock for the album cover. When you're done with it and we get the first printing of CDs back the band is going to have you and Bill over for dinner on my back deck.
