Scavenger Hunt Sunday!

It's time to play Scavenger Hunt Sunday again! 
This week's items are as follows: 

1. Golden
2. Smell
3. Fruit
4. Simple
5. Sports

Here are my interpretations

GOLDEN
I took this photo of the Golden Gate Bridge this past July during my visit to San Francisco, California.

SMELL
I'm thinking I was a hippy in another life.  I burn this Nag Champra all the time.
I love the smell it leaves in the room.

FRUIT
I love fruit!  However, this was the only fruit I had today...a big bag of "Cuties"

SIMPLE
Not originally what I had in mind for this one, but I think it works don't you? 

SPORTS
So, for those of you that don't already know, tennis is my game!  

I hope you've enjoyed this weeks photo Scavenger Hunt.
Don't forget to check out all the other entries over at Ashley Sisk's blog 


Thanks for dropping by!
I'll be back soon with some rain photos...yes, it FINALLY rained here in Las Vegas!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Lucky you for getting to do the Golden Gate bridge, very apt indeed. Love mandarines, they are so juicy and yummy, and cutie is a good name for them, not heard that before! Nice shots taken, and you even have orange sewn up for next week!

I love your choices, Becca. I almost participated this time, and came up with entirely different ideas than you did. I am still busy working on posting the photos from our trip to Kansas; but I think I will join in you in your scavenger hunt someday soon.

I love the smoky incense shot and the simple flower is great.

The angle you took the Golden Gate from is splendid; most of the ones I’ve seen are taken from the other side.

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
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  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"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

Creating Art with Tea Bags

Image
As summer approaches and the sunshine is plentiful here in the  desert southwest, I drink a lot of this... Making sun tea here only takes a short time. I've been using 6 regular size tea bags for the above container. (I like a pretty strong flavor)  You can add sugar or not, I enjoy it with a little mint leaves & lemon and  sometimes an added sweetener.  I started having so many tea bags and I've seen my friend Kimmie   create art with them, so I thought I'd give it a try!  I just let the bags completely dry,  remove the tag & staple then open them up carefully and empty the tea. Open the bags at the seam line and this is what you have,  beautifully tea stained papers for collage, sewing, etc.  Here, I used old dictionary book paper to create my flower design on water color paper.  I painted the flowers with watercolors.  Collaged torn tea bags onto the background, then stitched around  each flower for dimension.  This book mark I made using water
