Grrrr. I have had to replant the seedlings in my tub twice today! It was only on Friday that I last replanted them. The culprit is a bird! I caught him at it this morning, told him off, then set to replanting and watering . I tried to find something to put over the tub to no avail. While I was in my craft room this afternoon he did it again!
This time I found some chicken wire to protect my plants. I just hope they survived being replanted 3 times and that the bird gives up so I can remove the wire later.
I have not done much more crosstitch but I have been playing with some watercolours and pens. I wasn't going to share my art adventure yet as I am just learning how to use brushes and the watercolours . Lots of playing and practice. I have found a few You Tube tutorials and today I played with one colour loosely following a tutorial on painting bookmarks. I bought a new brush the other day but I am still trying to master it so the leaves are not very good. I used gold pen as well.
I am having lots of fun drawing like I used to do 50 years ago but I have never used watercolours before . It shall be an interesting journey.
Your bookmarks are lovely Ondrea. I think that with water colour you are always learning - have fun along the way. Naughty bird! Hope your plants survive. xx

Simply lovely bookmarks!!
ReplyDeleteThe bird - was it an Indian Myna bird?? They go for my seedlings all the time, but leave everything alone once they are about 6 inches high.
Very naughty bird. Hopefully the wire will deter it! I love your bookmarks and so great you are back enjoying art once again xx
