So Why DID the Chicken Cross the Road?




Maybe she was on her way to start the long, holiday weekend with family and friends!


(This desert gal living in the city of Las Vegas doesn't get to see chickens running around all the time, so I hope you'll humor me with my chicken photos!)



For those of you celebrating, have a happy Labor Day, and a happy weekend to all!

Be back soon,

Becca

Oh, I love this visit with the chickens, Becca! Hope you're having a great long weekend. :o) And thanks so much for your thoughts on colors on my art post. Like you, I'm a cool colors girl--blues, aqua, purple, and pink...soft colors, pastels. This creative chakra project has me really learning to appreciate all colors and their vibrations. I find myself using orange now and loving it... LOL! Orange didn't use to be "my color" ;o) It's amazing what happens when we tune into our energy! But yes, posts on cool colors coming up! Happy Days ((HUGS))

This is so funny.

We have 25 red Rhode Island Reds and 36 black sex-link hens. (Why did someone name them that???=( )

However, we ask ourselves this very question, often. Where is that silly chicken running off to? they're a hoot!=]

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...
