Scribbling

I have been procrastinating for ages about a new piece I wanted to do for a loved one....trying to find the right reference photos and composition has taken some time. I took SO MANY photos of Pandanas! Finally I chose and cropped this one.

I had to have a feathered friend included of course and so the prelim work has begun.

Not a lot to see yet, but I am hoping it will work out very nicely.....lots of work and layers on the fruit and leaves ahead. I am a bit of a fan of the blue faced honeyeaters and love it when they visit my garden. They love the Jacaranda blossoms.
Over the past weekend as well as stitching I spent time with my journal....it helps me often to do mini pieces for future inspiration or to work out how things look......composition etc.

Sometimes when I am stuck just browsing through will spark some creative memory and send me down a new path to a new project......love my journals!  I bless the day when my friend Janeen introduced me to journaling.....especially art journals!
NOW just a little BIG reminder.....

These brown paper packages contain my offerings.....labeling and protective wrapping to be done.

I will also have a few of my favourite pieces in greeting card form there too.

I am really excited to see the beautiful pieces of art at the exhibition and just a wee bit humbled to have a couple of  my artworks hung along side them.

Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
