This is the first day in a while that I didn't have and event or appointment on my calendar. I'm lucky to have a full and wonderful life......but it was also nice to have a free day to tackle some of the things that have been on my mind. It was a "just do it" kind of day....and I did several things!
This last week was a keeper week in our Tiny Pages Art Exchange....and I was the last one to get my card done. An idea has been in my head...and I finally sat down today and just did it. The theme this week was fruit.
Speaking of fruit...is this fruit? It's the seed pod/berries of a dogwood tree in our neighborhood. I've always loved these beautiful bumpy beauties!
I knew I wanted to create a bowl of cherries...and this is the quick little card I came up with this afternoon. I used catalog images and gel prints for the cherries...and I cut the bowl out of a cyanotype I did with a stencil. There are areas in the cherries that should have had a little more contrast.....but it's done!
The back is a little lackluster...but it's also done...and that's what matters today!
Becky created this incredibly detailed raspberry. She makes a drink for me when I visit using crushed raspberries....so this takes me right back to that! And I LOVE her background shading.
And the back is great...or should I say grape!
Brenda filled her tiny page with these sweet little blueberries. I love the variation and that she left a few of them white.
And Tracie's card is soft and pretty orange slices and the background is perfect! Fruit week ✔ We have a few weeks to do our next one....and theme is "changing seasons."
