No stamping, no collage-it's all about drawing and illustrating-and for me this is such a challenge-but a good one :)
And of course, it being (almost Tuesday- I needed to post early) I am joining
Tea Cup Tuesday at Artful Affirmations and
T Stands For Tuesday at Altered Book Lover:
I own a set of six cups and saucers I picked up at an auction held in my neighborhood. Sadly the owner had died (I didn't know her) but she had some of the loveliest dishes and such. I just fell in love with the gorgeous painting of these flowers-are they a kind of rose? I'm not sure but they look like roses to me.
More snow is expected-AGAIN! so once my appts. are finished I'm going to have a nice cup of hot tea- and dream about a garden of roses in the Spring.
