That's what I am talking about. Testosterone driven color selection.
Come to my quilting color class. An injection of that good old testosterone, buy my male modified color wheel (of course red comes next to blue, silly). While I am teaching, I'll play the radio and try and talk Steve into strumming his Lute. I do play a half assed couple of blues riffs on the piano and my harmonica rendition of Red River Valley has brought tears to many a woman's eyes. (Then they give me money to go away).
Spent the last couple of evenings up in my studio (with it's 110 degree residual heat) working on my daughters quilt. During breaks in the action (how is that for a male driven term?) I have looked at a couple of the projects sitting around. The original YBR you have seen WIP shots of is very dark. Hmmm.. I wonder where i am going to put it once it's finished? The Homeward Bound quilt out of last October's McCalls is evolving into a wonderfully eclectic kaliloscope of color and pattern. I think even Patrice will like it when finished. And the eye dazzler bear claw one is so SW motiffed, it will hang on it's own where ever it winds up. Now contrast that with the stark whites and intense blues of my Irish chain quilt (soon to be known as Wild Irish Rose when I realized there actually is no chain design in it) and a whole differnt color sense has come out. So which is 'IT'? Which is that male sense of color, balance, and energy?
And I DO like being one of the few males on the board. You all are so sweet to me.
