MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Some would say.....

 ....yes, some would say that I'm possessed.  Perhaps even somewhat anal.  But...don't you think the latest landscape required a pot of flowers?  Multiple hours went into this part of it too.

Picture is clickable to embiggen I think.

- I think I would like to be THIS artist when I grow up!

- HERE is a technique you might like to try (scroll down)

- THIS is a really pretty motif that could be used in lots of ways.

- THIS guy made me smile.

    1. Yes, the flowers are silk ribbon. I keep hoarding my supply but realized that I should be using some of it.
