Accidental Art, Number 9 in an Occasional Series

 
The Ocean, and the Glorious Sky, all according to God. And the shells aren't so bad, either.

    Oooh, that's pretty! Is that silvery grey one at the top of the pic some sort of petrified wood?

    That just makes me want to go yarn shopping for some alpaca in all those lovely natural colors. What a gorgeous fair isle sweater they would make.

    You just can't do better than Mother Nature when it comes to putting colors together in a pleasing way.

    Hi Trish, The wood is the piece that was used to represent Winged Victory in another Accidental Art Post. It's just a very tough piece of drift wood that didn't lose it's knot. Oh yes, Mother Nature knows her business, so she does. She's a color artist!

    PS. Those shell colors would make a beautiful alpaca Fair Isle. I'll make one from KnitPicks or Elann whenever the Drops Aran is finished, that being this year, I hope ;p lol

    Well, I'm always glad to see your bright and shiny continence Rachel. Hope you are feeling better now, too.

    Glad you like the pix. That's about a month's worth. Without the kids here, it's a very quiet life. :-)

    Those are very pretty shells, the red ones in particular.

    Thank you for your comment. That shell is complete for some reason-both halves. :o)

    It's no secret that I love the oceans of the world, well the Pacific anyway. The only other "sea" I've seen is the Salton Sea but that's a mess! We go there to watch birds and that place is really smelly.

    Zippi, wonderful nature photos of the shells etc and of your beach scene on the top of your page. I'd love to make an art quilt using your shell photo as inspiration!

Working my way through the thicket of the American political scene. I am trying to not put any of that up on this blog EVER again. Meh!
