South African Impressions – The Fabric
South African Impressions
A month back I dyed the fabric for my South African Impressions project. I got waylaid with life but now it’s time to get this project going and wrapped up.
These aren’t all the colors I will be using, I need to add in some purples for the Drakensburg mountains and some blue for the sky, and all sorts of other fun colors for the houses, but this is the basic palette I will be using.
I really appreciate all the folks that have pre-purchased this art and your art will be created soon. I organized all my paperwork last night so I know what I need to create and I’m pretty excited about it.
Time to make some new art!
Life
Obviously my plan to blog 3 times a week didn’t quite pan out. Since my last post I traveled out to Kansas to pack up my mom and bring her back to live in Denver. She’s soon going to be ready to move into something more permanent, which means another trip to Kansas to get her house ready to sell. So I won’t kid myself this time, more disruption is coming (first I have to find a place for her to live!).
So until my mom is settled blogging will be a lower priority. But I’ll be back eventually.

Hi! Lisa,
Like the warm earthy colours for your South African Impressions work, look forward to seeing some in the future. Nice that your Mum has someone to help her settle into a new place, also with the move hope it all slots in well.
Your palette looks like the colors used in South African quilts i saw today. Good luck with your family stuff.
The fabric colors are luscious! I can’t wait to see what you create for me!
Hope all goes well with your mom. I love your fabric posts! Sounds silly but I just get excited seeing your piles of beautiful colours! Looking forward to seeing the next set of work in time.
Wow – thank you everyone! I’m excited about the new series!
Those colours are beautiful – so warm. Can’t wait to see how you use them all.
