January and February 2012 Block of the Month

For Elemental Alchemy, we will be making three sized blocks: 8", 10", and 12". The blocks will get more complex as they get bigger. For January-April, we will be making 8" blocks for each of the four elements.

January began with Air and appropriately enough the block is called Wild Air. Periwinkles and cornflowers and hyacinth colors twirl and swirl in this 8" block.



The depths of February's winter called me to design a block for Earth. How could I resist using a multitude of greens during this colorless time of the year. (There is a subtle beauty to the winter landscape in the Pennsylvania countryside, but by the end of February I am longing for green shoots.)
