OH Becca this photo is just beautiful truly divine! It looks like lavender? I love the way the quote is written on the picture. Gorgerous! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! We are having such a beautiful fall! Pamela xo
I enjoyed the pictures from you previous posts as well as this one, I've gotten so behind. I'd love to feel some of that hot weather even though it's just been beautiful here lately. I bet it will be cold while you're here in November. They're are predicting a very cold and snowy winter this year, although we don't usually see much snow in November.
Hello Friends! Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially if this is a long weekend for you! It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I thought it was time to get out my tea bags and get creative! This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest. I love the color and texture the tea bags create. After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design. The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the...
"Art" is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains. If you have ever seen a Rain Chain then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way. copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful, mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you. Hope your week is off to a great start! Becca
Hi friends! Well, I said I'd be back with some crochet stuff I've been working on, I just didn't think it would take me so long. So, I found this cute coaster pattern on line that uses "jute" and yarn. They were easy to make, and the yarn adds so much to them, don't you think? Look at the back, I think even the back looks interesting! Click HERE for the link if you want to make these. I've been working on this afghan for a while now. I love it because the squares have been pretty easy to make even while watching TV. The colors remind me of the blue hydrangeas I love so much! Finally, I've been going nuts about adding crocheted edgings on things. I made a couple of tea towels for gifts, and I'm still working on more of these. Don't you just love ticking fabric? Well, there ya ha...
