It is rather wild today but bright. I have had my gardening head on . Trying my hand at making a willow arch. I hadn't realised what hard work that would be. However the flowers in the meadow are swaying happily so all is well. I can hear the pinch bar in use so I better return to my duties.
The cooler weather found me back in the gallery tinkering around. When I am a bit discombobulated I find it very soothing to make papers. I paint ,stitch, tear and alter with no end point in mind. However today I have been more focussed and have begun a series of seascape cards...each one a small original. They will be available for sale in due course so drop me a note if you would like something a little bit different. Meanwhile I hope all is well.....
I had high hopes of gardening this afternoon but no....its raining cats and dogs. The Foxgloves are looking especially wonderful loved by the bees. Perhaps the sun will shine again tomorrow. Have a happy Friday evening. Stay safe.
How does your garden grow? I think along with so many folk lockdown has found us out and about in the garden. I have to say it makes me very happy...just watching things grow and change. Last night found us out on a garden snail hunt....oh dear there were "hundreds" of them . I couldn't bring myself to dispatch them and now our organic bin feels a bit like something out of a horror film. !
Our new Bothy has its first resident. It just goes to show that when the time comes you too might like to come and chill out with us.
I just can't help doodling when on the phone. It is an automatic response just to pick up whatever is at hand and away I go....do you doodle?
I decided today was a good day for some encaustic wax painting. I began experimenting and made an image of the garden...celebrating our Foxgloves before this wind flattens them. This afternoon I have made a series of cards. I have 6 sets of 4 available. They are all originals and celebrate the beauty and colour of the West coast.I enjoyed using both iron and the scribing tool something I haven't done before. The result is some very lively images.
I went down to the studio this morning full of good intentions and began fiddling around....tidying up ! I became completely absorbed in messing about with coloured paper and in the end have made 3 pieces of artwork. Quite a bonus for such a wild windy day. These are mounted up and ready to find new homes....
