Leaf Collage Update, July 1st

I am slowly making progress on finishing Leaf Collage.  Three more collage elements are completed and I worked out tentative colors and threads for the remaining five collage elements along the left side.  We are over 30 threads as of today, so I am trying to choose from within this group for the balance of the stitching.

Something interesting happened though, while I was taking a break to draw a few Zentangle® designs......I kept thinking of patterns for Leaf Collage.  The upper right corner is one result:  "Boxes".....so that is what I will call it when I write the instruction book.  Also, you might find this hard to believe, but color seems to be finding its way into my Zentangle designs.  Thought you might like to see a few.  The color wash was created with Derwent Graphitint Pencils.

For my holiday weekend it is Leaf Collage stitching, Eclipse, Zentangles and BBQ for me!

Wishing you a great 4th of July weekend too!!  Terry
