The shading is finicky, and I pull out and redo about 30% of it. I work on it folded so I don't need a big frame, but it makes mirroring the shading a bit trickier, so I have to spread it out from time to time to see how balanced I am keeping the shading.
I am using at least 8 different shades of yarn for the blues/purples in this stage.

Prepping for the next (scariest) bit of this piece. It involves colour blending with a bunch of different shades of yarn.
For Folks interested in my "process", most of it is eyeballing measurements and using a Sharpie to sketch things out directly on the work surface.I just finished dividing the sky up into segments/gradients to (hopefully) keep my colour blending in track.
To give an idea of scale, this piece is 3 feet wide from border to border.

Progress shot:
Grass is done. Now I need to roll some skeins into balls before starting the sky.

Stopped at #LeeValleyTools and picked up some new toys to add to a gift I received a ear ago but haven't had out to use yet. (Garden kept me too busy last year.) I now have a decent range of gouges in various sizes, a few chisels, and some chipping knives.
I have a near infinite pile of burls in different sizes from a massive willow we trimmed, so I'll have no shortage of material to play with this summer while creating some whimsy for my garden. :)

My 3yr old is super impressed with my efforts thus far.

Okay, first go at it, but I think I will have a lot of fun learning #linocut techniques.

Today, #Coffee Le Bean would like to suggest learning to play a new game. You are never #TooYoung or #TooOld to #LearnNewThings. Get together with #Friends or #Family or find a local #GameGroup. If games aren't your thing, pick up an old or new #hobby to share with people. Just find a way to #Connect so you don't have to be #Lonely. And remember, this Smol #Kitten loves you. (I #Knit, she was playing with my kids who are all adults.)
