The Art of Dancing in the Rain

Dear Friends...
Even though it's only been a week, it feels like an eternity since I've been here to share with you. 


In my last post I mentioned that I hoped to be showing you some "creativeness" that I've been up to, and  while I did manage to get a collage done that I will show you soon, this last work week has been a real "doozy." 
So instead, while I am on the mend this weekend from my week of turmoil, decisions and change I thought I'd rather share with you 
"the rain." 
If you've been following me for a while, you will know how much I love the rain.


During our visit to North Carolina I got to experience a downpour of sweet, refreshing, wash away all your stress...rain. 


The photos I took of my dear niece and nephew depict the playfulness of my soul.












I will be by this weekend to catch up with you all. 

Thank you always for your sweet words and friendship. 
I feel lucky to have this creative outlet to soothe my restless soul.

Becca

About caughtup!! What beautiful photos you have shared here and beyond. Love it when it rains. We are in need of some after 3 wks of terrible hot humid weather.
Tues I awoke to 65 degrees and I have been outside ever since. Lots of weeding, enjoying the county fair, lunches outdoors, walking and enjoying my bike rides.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I hope all is well with you Becca, I know it`s hard to know how much to share, and what to put in or leave out....

Great shots.

Ahhh! When I was young, I loved to dance under the rain. It makes you realize how much nature has to offer. The first drop of rain on my head leads to a feeling of fun and joy. This is what life is about. BTW! These photos are spectacular.

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...

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

It's a Crochet Thing….

Image
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...
