Hmmmmm....that is almost 4.5 hours sitting in the car....in traffic. I could have driven to Seattle and beyond in that amount of time.

I think the biggest lesson I am learning in China is PATIENCE!!! And...I am getting tired of waiting to master the lesson!!!

Besides sitting in the car all day....I facilitated a color workshop for our craft group....


Today we discussed color "value". Here is team 1 sorting their fabric swatches from darks to lights.

Team 2 focuses on the value puzzle...

Ahhh...the end results....darks to lights...each team matching almost swatch to swatch

Last week we created color wheels with embroidery floss
Remember those primary, secondary, complimentary and analogous colors?
Good team work!!!
