Turquoise and Rust

It's "spritzing" rain today, so I made a cup of Spicy Ginger tea and started thinking about how much I 
love the color combination,

Turquoise and Rust



































Color + Texture =  inspiration for me today.

What's inspiring you?

I love the patina copper makes on things! Such lovely colors! I'd have to say my garden is my inspiration lately. (or at least what it's producing)

Ahhh, love the turquoise and you make it fairly glow in your shots.
My own collections have been inspiring me lately. Trying to combine them in different ways with my glass components.
Copper and enamel lately.

That is a pretty color of turquoise in all your photos Becca! And how wonderful it must be for you to be sitting sipping tea enjoying the spritzing of rain instead of the heat! A nice change I imagine? :D

And nature is so inspirational isn't it?

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...
