Let's go for a walk!


Grab your favorite hot beverage and join me for a walk!


It's about 53 degrees fahrenheit with a light sprinkle of rain and occasional "sun breaks". 



I know I should watch were I'm going, but I can't stop looking at all these leaves,  they're so beautiful! 





Oh look, here's a little bench, but it might be a little wet from the rain.  Still, we could sit for a minute and listen to the fountain near by if you'd like. 




Look, blue sky, looks like we might get a little sun today.



Thanks for joining me on my walk today!  
Let's see now, what sounds good for dinner?  I know, how about a big bowl of clam chowder and warm sour dough bread? Yum! 

Until next time, 
Becca

Such a beautiful walk. It's all grey, white and silver here now with snow and frost.
What a nice picture album, I especially like the close up maple leaf with droplets.

Looks like Seattle and that it was taken on one of the rare clear days we've had. I really love that last picture.
They are talking snow here for this weekend! I wonder if we'll see any.

Your photos of the leaves in the drains and the sidewalks are fabulous! Oh the colors ~ I wish we did not have all white outside and still had the reds, oranges and yellows too! :(

I so need a camera like yours. I spent several hours today trying to take pictures with no sun, uggghh so frustrating, even after trying to touch them up.
Your photos are breathtaking and love the birds chirping in the background!

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
