Multicolored Memories

Multicolored was an item on the Hunt list.  I found this bottle and cover that sits on top of the hutch in the dining area.

Number 6 multicolored - the blue bottle and the cover

These are sketched with my new Piochoo Dual Tip Brush Pens (gift from Jennie and Brandon).  It is in the large Canson Mix Media sketchbook.  The pens need the heavy paper, they are very wet with ink.  I got ink on my hands from putting my hand down when I changed colors so added some dots.  Ha.

Lots of memories in this sketch.  The bottle is from Llano Estacado Vinyards in Lubbock, Texas, where we lived in the early 80s.  It had Moscato wine in it.  Empty now of course.  The cover is from Bolivia, knitted by our maid, Felipa.  I have talked about her here before.  She was with us for almost the whole time we were in South America, 16 years,  and was like family.

I love the cobalt color of the bottle contrasted against the colors of the cover knitted by Felipa. What a wonderful memory!

Thanks, Joan. This sits on the hutch in the dining room. It makes me smile.
