TIF 4 center

I sat down and worked on this steadily for more than two hours today, and I am feeling pretty chipper about it.

I have a grid of 9 leaves, this is the center panel, with four more printed on satin and four others printed on chiffon. I am thinking about what to do for a border, to keep things from flying too far out from the center. On the whole the colors are close to what we were given, with a range around the purples and greens. Unfortunately, I have been unable to create or apply the clear blue-green from the palette. I’m not sure if I get demerits for that or not!

Circus class today, and even though I was in a vile mood, I did really well and had fun. I climbed the fabric repeatedly, and climbed half way up and did a foot lock. There is one goal accomplished. I still have to master a cross-back straddle up. Bronwyn showed me how to do a roll-up, so I practiced low down (so she could get me out if I got stuck) and next week I’ll try it higher up. Red Kate flew me like an airplane, and I did a kind of front neck stand on her back. (Impossible to describe – I’ll bring the camera next week.)
