Mr. Blue Sky

(If your listening...Mr. Blue Sky by E.L.O.)


"Sun is shining in the sky...there ain't a cloud in site." 


...and don't you know it's a beautiful new day hey, hey...


"See how the sun shines brightly in the city" 


"Mr. Blue Sky is living here today hey, hey"










"Mister Blue you did it right...


...but soon comes mister night creepin' over...


...now his hand is on your shoulder, never mind


...I'll remember you this way. "

Just thought I'd share a little of our Las Vegas warmth with you today.   I spent some time in the garden, in my favorite chair sipping wine and soaking in the rays.  This song, Mr. Blue Sky always lifts my spirits and gets my toe tapping.
I hope those of you that live where it's snowing are safe and staying warm and hopefully you'll keep posting photos of that "white stuff" I rarely get to see.
These 70 degree days are coming to an end this weekend,
but Mr. Blue Sky is here to stay.

Sending some warmth your way!

Becca

We're in the same weather system here in AZ. Pretty magnificent compared to lots of the country. Enjoying it while I can and hopefully catch the meteor shower tonight with the clear skies. Toe-tapping for sure.

The sun seems to shine ever so brightly on these winter days. I don't have snow either. Cold nights and warmish days. GORGEOUS photos!

I love E.L.O. !!!! What a great band right up there with Boston.

I can't believe you are having such hot weather. It has been raining here non stop but at least it is not freezing like back home!
No wonder my neighbour bought a home
in your city.

Fantastic photos Becca!

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
