Summer in the City

Taking a break from posting a bit this summer. Enjoying the weather and spending time with my lovely 91 year old mother and family visiting from out of town.  

 Make the most of today. It won't come around again. Ever. 

Watermark

Mixed Media on Canvas

 A great activity for kids:
Cheapo coffee filters dipped and sprayed with inks, dyes, or watered down paints.
Fold them any which way and just go for it!

Rainbow Roses

I just love these gorgeous rainbow colored roses! Yesterday was Valentine's Day and as I was out shopping I saw so many guys standing in line to buy red or pink roses for their sweethearts and I thought how boring! No imagination!
These are real roses and were dyed by splitting the stems into sections, then dipping each section into a different color of dye. Very cool!
