Six

Today's square is a variation of ZOOM's stripe:

The V-opening reminded us of an ancient Egyptian lotus or papyrus blossom column capital.

PLUS, it matches my two favorite dinosaurs. Coincidence? You be the judge. But it makes me think that if ancient astronauts did build the pyramids, this must have been their insignia.

Square Five

This week's square is HOT!

It's one of Dustin's color studies, opposing two pairs of colors within a framework.  Try it with our colors, or any group you choose. These are a very nice way to explore color and pattern.

Next week:  a companion square to Zoom!

Square Four

When I saw last week's square, my impulse was to add a bit of pink to the palette, and I was just dying to see what a translucent green would do next to Sour Puss. I set off on a road trip with my bead box, and ended up making a couple of necessity-based substitutions.

Overall, I'm happy with this one, and it's a new 'bacon' stripe!  When I sent a photo to Dustin, he said it looked racy, hence the name of this week's square: ZOOM.

Enjoy!

Square Three

Sorry we're a little late with the square today; we went out to help KeepTahoeBlue pick up trash after the holiday!

Overall it wasn't too bad; we ventured off the trails and managed to find 9 lbs of litter to contribute to the effort.

Today's square is a bit reminiscent of fireworks, and it's called Green Flash! Dustin added a fresh new color to the mix: Sour Puss! A more-acid-than-acid yellow. Pucker up and enjoy!
