There has been some exciting activity in the skies over the past week - planets lined up in rare ways, showers of meteorites and a beautiful partial solar eclipse presented a crescent sun.
2011 has a memorable start.
No resolutions this year. More a slight shift of focus and a promise to myself to do more drawing this year.
A focus on stars and houses for textile projects.
Finishing off last years diary with some photos sent to me of a visit paid by some friends from America back in October. I have decided I really like cutting up a photo and drawing in some of the background. Must do more of this!!
Good to fill the lungs with sea air in Cornwall over the New Year. Hope I can sustain that breath until next visit.
Meanwhile the wood burner lit to keep out the greyness of January - all in the kitchen doing our thing.
looks like a good start..
ReplyDeleteNice accomplishment to have finished the diary. I really like the way you incorporated the photos. Lovely kitty!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with your photos in your diary - the sketched in backgrounds look great.
ReplyDeleteFunny, because I was thinking of focusing on houses for my fiber art also. I collect little houses. My other focus is dragonflies, since I saw my red one. Lovely post. Enjoyed it.

Hi Claire, thank you for stopping by my blog post though I am slow in getting around to your- I am glad I did.. love your images and writing- and artworks.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much your ginger kitty looks like my Habibi. A much less weighty Habibi... fun journaling.
