I had a productive three day weekend working on this Wordle painting and I started another. For this one, I carefully painted in most of the grid after handstamping the patterns of my puzzles. I have a four day weekend next weekend and will trim and finish the edges for this one. Then I’ll continue on with the next one.
Happy November! October was another wonderful weather month! I was able to walk 10,000 or more steps on seven days (see the red icons) though I wish I had been able to walk that much on more days. The gold highlight color shows the seven days I walked 4000 steps or less, which is always a disappointment. My goal is to walk close to or more than 10,000 day.
The picture above is of October, and the picture below is January through October, with room for November and December to the right. I cannot believe this year is coming to an end in 60 days!
I had a wonderfully productive weekend working on my new Wordle painting. All of the puzzle results have been handstamped and now I’m carefully painting in much (but hopefully not all) of the grid. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to paint during the week after work, but I’ll definitely paint more next weekend.
Sunlight and the shadow of the window grid in my studio on work in progress. The patterns of 24 of my completed Wordle, puzzles starting on September 1, are all handstamped. Next up decorative highlights.
I'm working on a new Wordle patterned painting on an upcycled antique cross stitched linen tablecloth. I am not using the Wordle colors. First I monoprinted a gridded construction fence pattern on the back side of the fabric knowing that the orange paint from the grid would soak through to the front. Then I stitched the grid and now I am handstamping square rubber erasers on the fabric one at a time, following the patterns of 24 of my completed puzzles starting on September 1 of this year. And I am trying desperately not to make mistakes, but I am only human. :)

The squares (not the letters) in the center squares are the results of my son's finished Hungarian Wordle puzzle on November 19, 2023. They are painted in Hungarian Wordle-like colors on an upcycled antique embroidered tablecloth.
I monoprinted a gridded construction fence pattern on the back side of the fabric knowing that the blue paint from the grid will soak through to the front. I purposely wanted an unevenly colored grid. The lines of the grid are stitched.
