Window Box

Layers of leaves, watercolored flowers, watering can, and a bright sunny face to greet the day. This is one of my scrap bristol board pieces that I’ve been playing with. Her dress is collage paper, with fibers around the neck and a heart brad on her as jewelry. She’s got ribbons in her hair and a twinkle in her eye. This was fun to make. I really like her sense of fashion! I must find her designer. =)

It’s August and Mother Nature is already preparing us with Pine Cones and Holly Berries for Christmas. Just a few steps off our back deck I discovered these lovely berries.

The squirrels have been high up in the Pine trees shaking down the green cones and I found this one in my zucchini planter and gave it a new home.

While I was out photographing I had a visitor sneak up behind me to see if I brought treats. We’ve named her Widget.

Hopefully I will be able to capture her 3 wee ones on film soon to share the cuteness. They are adorable.
All this wildlife right in the middle of town! The best of both worlds. I got 2 new art magazines at Barnes and Noble yesterday and one magazine suggests an nature walk for collection natures objects de art. I am going to do that this coming week and make a journal page with what I’ve found. My neighborhood is great for it. I’ll bring along the camera and take a few pictures as I go to share with you. It’s the perfect time of year for gathering natures leftovers.

 

Rain Rain! Time for Art!

It’s raining, it’s pouring, my creativity is soaring. What a wonderful reason to stay snug behind my desk cuddled in throw blanket with paint on my fingertips! Get your crayons out! It’s pouring buckets out there.
