This page turned into a double spread.Yes I’m three days behind but I will catch up but it seems silly not to pay attention to each page.I’m also learning just how long it takes me to make a page.

So this turned into a combination page.The hole in my bucket holds 5 prompt slips waiting for the next 5 quotes that I will instantly forget but want to use.I have a habit of not wanting to throw expensive paint away so sometimes just paint  backgrounds and choose them to work on later.This page was a happy experiment with new paints.

This should have been so easy but ended up in a very different place.I had lived near the Thames all my life before my arrival in the US  and planned to put in all the significant places in the city of London on the map.I head off for my morning walk-the hellebore’s are at their peak and daffodils are breaking out .These reminded me of Kelmscott House the home of William Morris the founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement.Spring days always remind me of walking the Thames so that’s how this page found it’s conclusion.

I left the line of text “She looks so healthy” highlighted because the Thames is indeed a much healthier river system than when I was young.

The instant I read this challenge I had two thoughts.One stamp and my box of red paper-cloth hearts.I prefer this wee close up so that’s how I’ll share her.

I collect all sorts of lids and have been  making circles with them I also like to use bubble wrap .I have some nice new iridescent paints so this was just a play session really.This page could get more juicy but I’m 4 days behind and feeling the pressure.I’ll probably revisit this page at some stage.

This is something I really need to work on.I had an image left from the creation of the Orca art quilt.Only about half of the image transferred well as it was a pretty splashing scene I think it works.

Well I hope this challenge gets a bit easier.Today was a total washout but I did get to play with so new paints and learned to remember to test if pens are waterproof.Then you have to remember that nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.

So hard to get my head around this one as I’m really not one to share my own image.I used a partial selfie from my cell phone.I really liked the skin tones which led me to a small box of pastels previous gift from hubby and a medium we both like. I’ve always been a bit of a bookworm so sketching and using the text worked well.Also I was 48 yesterday couldn’t have fallen on a better page

So I’ve struggled so far in this challenge to show handwriting but today it’s present-even my bad spelling ! Looks like I have gremlins hopefully they will be fixed soon-gremlins fixed 🙂
