the symmetry of the sunflowers is totally mesmerizing~!~
today i added some light green watercolor pencil to my current background (collage) piece. i brushed it with a dryish brush and let it dry.
a detail


i also decided that it was time to begin work on the newest card for Sunday Postcard Art. the upcoming challenge is: Fashion.
now my idea of "fashion" is a worn, comfy pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt (maybe a button down blouse if i'm going out somewhere) so this one scared me at first . . .
then i decided that i better just DO something to get the ball rolling and so i used a rubber stamp pattern for a small spirit doll. stamped it onto the inside of a Yogi Tea box because i love the art printed there . . . and ended up with a small form that is delightfully tattooed all over her wonderful brown skin~!!~love that~!~ now i feel more like i'm just playing at paper dolls, and that i think i can do~!~

now as much as i love that lovely brown tatted skin look, i figure she's going to need some clothes . . .
so am considering this paper napkin printed with a variety of lettuces for possible clothing options . . . hmmmm . . . imagine running about in nothing but lettuce leaves~!~ i suppose it to be what a fairey would wear to make the summer heat more bearable~!~
so now, i'm thinking fairey fashion . . . and it's becoming more fun by the second~!!!~

i'll leave you with more garden symmetry. this time it's that thistle i have (covertly) growing between some other shrubs.

  3. Love, love, love the thistles - and also the lettuce paper napkin. I thought it was a linen tea towel at first sight. Like your stamping too, Libby. BFN. Lesley
