Seattle Bound

A new journey begins...

Dear friends, 
it is with great joy that I share with you some news...a dream come true.
We are moving to Seattle!

Many of you know that I have been wanting to leave the hot, dry, desert of Las Vegas, 
(the only home I've ever known) and move to this Emerald City that I have fallen in love with over the last few years.

I would like to take this opportunity today to share with you some of my photography that represents this beautiful place.



























"Good Night Seattle, we love you!" 



Thank you for sharing this with me today. :-)

Becca

We had to move to NY this summer after living in the Seattle area for 3 years. I miss it sooooooo much!!!!!!! I miss the smell, and the trees, and the fabulous ferries and my house (we still have that - we rented it out - so holding out hope we will get to go back.) Lucky you!!! Ashlyn

Wow Becca! That is exciting news! We have friends who moved from Wichita to Seattle and they post their hiking, kayaking and sight seeing pics on their facebook all the time. Seattle looks sooooooooo wonderful!

Hope you won't be sleepless ; )

I am sooo happy for you! Now that's a city we wouldn't mind moving to either. We left the dusty, arid state of Arizona behind and headed to the moister climate of Virginia, but had a job presented itself in Seattle for my Hubby, we would have gladly gone. SO happy for you!

Oh, Becca. I am so happy for you. It seems that Seattle steals many a heart. You did; however, take so many pretty pictures of the desert and I am sure there will be a flash and a shadow of movement in your garden some evening even when you are gone - just in rememberance and love of you. I am looking forward to many posts with new stories to tell through your lens. Peace.

Oh my gosh I am SO EXCITED for you!!! I am sure you are going to love it there! How nice that you get to spend this winter in mild temp Las Vegas and then move to the beautiful Emerald City in the spring. It is going to be so stunning there when all the flowers are blooming. So happy for you and look forward to hearing all about it when you move.
Also wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!!

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
