"Creek Walk" a pastel painting AND "painting with thread" project

My first painting on white Kitty Wallis.  This was a little bit of a struggle.  I found the techniques I used on the PastelBord (for water) did not work on Kitty Wallis.  So I spent more time experimenting, finding a way to work. 

I have a little bonus show-n-tell.  First - a thank you to http://pintangle.com/ for listing me as one of the interesting blogs to visit!  Since Pintangle is a fiber and stitching-related blog, I will show a little stitching project I am working on.  It is of two macaws and I am showing a detail of it.  I am "painting with thread" to fill in the design.  It will take a long, long time ... so don't hold your breath to see this done anytime soon!  I must tell everyone that I did not design this.  It was from an iron-on transfer book I got in 1982!!!!  But I always loved the design and wanted to do a stitching project with it.
