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.

Another introduction!

 Here's the next completed landscape in the little series I'm doing....

HIM AND ME III
(AFTERNOON STROLL)

measures approx. 17x22 1/2"

FOR SALE!

(you should be able to click on the photo to embiggen!)

- Pour yourself a cuppa, and have a look through the incredible winning entries at the Paducah 2026 show found HERE.

- Of course you know THIS caught my eye - it would make a great gift (perhaps for Father's Day for those guys that like to BBQ)

- Read about THIS artist and then visit her GALLERY to see the incredible things she creates using such simple materials.

Today's quote..."If it doesn't open, it's not your door"

  1. Those works look like watercolors, but they're not. That's quite a vision. I like today's quotation -- do we know who said it? I'd like to see more of them.

    1. I'm afraid watercolours are out of my league so I stick with fabric and threads. And no, I don't know who that quote is from. I always try to give credit if I know and sometimes one of my followers can come up with it so I can go back and add it.

    1. Thanks Julierose - I don't know if it's possible to have too much fun playing with these.

    Your quote is another version of "What's for you won't pass you by"...always a comforting thought!

    Darn it, that anonymous comment was me, Quinn! I don't understand why sometimes I have to sign in to every blog before I can post, and sometimes I don't. I'll try to remember to add my name to comments from now on!

    1. I know what you mean - happens often to me too. Hard to remember to always sign in.

    1. I think, at this point, there are two more rambling around in my mind, so we'll see how far I go with it. Thanks!

    1. At the risk of boring my followers half to death, I am contemplating two more (and have started on the first of the two today).

    1. Glad you like it - thank you! At this point I think there will be two more in the series and then I think I'd better move on to something else.

    1. This one didn't have a lot in the way of hand embroidery so it finished quickly. The next one will, so it's going to take more time.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
