I've been searching the house for colors that make me feel warm. Here is what i have found...
a fragment of a collage,
a photograph of my mother and I. I think I was in my mid-twenties,
the flowers from outside my favorite Mexican food restuarant last summer,
a little glass box with a violet resting inside,
nesting measuring cups, a gift from my daughter,
fabrics from the studio of Cathy Dorris.
pieces that I want to put into jewelry, one day...
more golds and reds,
some draping fabric,
old spools of colored thread that fell out of their box,
dancing light everywhere!
I want to wish you all warmth as January comes to it's end.
Especially to those to the north and east.
Roxanne, I really got into these photos. I woke up really cold and the heater is barely making a dent. My toes will have to go perch by the vent, with me attached to them.
These colors are so vibrant and you're right--warm! You do such a great work of focusing and showcasing these lovely items.
Thanks for that great photo of you and your mom, too!

Lots of vibrant, warm colors here. Thanks for cheering me up. It's so cold and ugly here. I needed that.

With the weather here I could use a little warmth. Thanks for these images!

I can certainly use some images that depict warmth and sunniness -- living in dreary, cloudy, cold, gray Pacific NW.

Things are always warm over here, but these photo are especially toasty! I agree with Stephanie: you and your mom do look like sisters!

warming me in my cold but brown world. I can see where the palette for your work comes from, all around you.

I am warmed :)
I may borrow this idea for a post of my own this week .... It is an inspiring exercise during this silvery and chilled season ... I know I will find warmth .... I only need look for it :)

you are warmth, simmering, it seems.
we had a good four inches of snow here, a rare delight, and so the warmth resonates across. Thank you. New energy in mind, as well.

It just so happens that today is a cold day after a hot spell and your post has definitely warmed me up. I associate your blog with warm colours, Roxanne and what glorious photos you've presented today. I LOVE the nesting measuring cups and I find it so interesting to see mother and daughter together since we've just been going through an old basket of photographs and lining up 3 or 4 generations of women..... comparing the likeness.

Beautiful warm colors.... I've been noticing more than ever the contrast between the incredible ice-blue and snow-white outside in contrast with my warm textiles and sheepskins in the living room. Tonight it is going down to -20.... BEFORE windchill. Its as if we were in the mid-west. Hasn't been this cold in a while, though its not unheard of. With all the snow and ice and wind, it will be a BRUTAL commute.
Thanks for the warming colors, I'll keep them with me tomorrow as I venture out into a day of 6 degrees!

me
