Beautiful work Clara - I can't believe you can do that on the move. Your roads must be a lot better than ours.

Most of the way I work isn't exactly portable. This technique (or part of the process) works great for that. Thanks guys for all the nice comments.

Guess I'm gonna have to git me some of those Fabrico Markers! It looks like you are having a lot of fun with them...while riding in the car! Great use of road trip time if the scenery isn't interesting to look at. Thanx for the inspiration and sharing your process, Clara.

Congratulations on Houston and I love your work process on these, thanks for sharing! I Look forward to seeing you in Houston. Will look at the AAQI for Sale.

Thanks so much. It's an inspiration for us to get moving.

Clara, those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your process! I couldn't do that in the car both because I get carsick and I'm not married so I have to do my own driving. I'm sure these will get to Houston and will do well!

We are home again!!! The only time it got tricky was when the road got bumpy like on bridges or just badly repaired (or needing it) roads or when hubby was annoyed at traffic and started to zip around it. We got to an understanding and he would give me a heads up when zipping at least. I have a cutting board that I bought for classes so long ago. One side is a cutting board and the other a soft ironing board. I iron the board every so often because the markers will eventually bleed through. It's just the right size for taking around with you and resting on your lap while the other end rests on the dash. One of the last things I do is go over the drawn lines with a thicker black marker and it hides any oopsies or I just blend them in just a bit more. The more detailed line work I don't do in the car.

Rosemary, she has 3 of my quilts up for sale right now. Not auction, but at a set price. I'm hoping these will be destined for Houston. Hey, then I can say I have 8 quilts that have been accepted in Houston. Tee Hee. Clara

I am amazed that you can do such work in the car! I'd love to own one of your pieces, but I wasn't quick enough at the sales.

CLara, thank you so much for sharing. I love to see how you work. Have a safe trip further on

Here is an in-progress series to show building up of a color, that I didn't show you in the first series.

Clara

In progress here we go. I just took one panel, outlined my drawing with black and then played with colors.

I used Fabrico markers which will need to be heat set when done.

Your stuff is very very nice. You have a good eye for the equine and all !!
Hope the other half of summer goes well and cool

Thanks! On the road again and about to get busy again. Clara

Wow, Clara! Your stuff just blows me away!!
