It was a good day for a nice long lunch with Rebecca and Patty.....a great way to kick off the holiday weekend.
There's nothing better than time with people who share you values and celebrate your joys.
Thanks for getting us together Patty!
It was also a good day to make indoor cyanotypes.
I experimented with some lace pieces....and got back to basics with simple layering. It was nice to have the indoor option on this very hot day.
Dotty combined haiku, sisters, watercolor and puzzles into her post today....and it all made me smile.
Taking her lead....I tried my own 5-7-5 syllable haiku. I am NOT a poet.
Shades of Blue
clipped and pressed with care
these precious plants became art
these precious plants became art
all in shades of blue
Some wins....others not so much...but lots of lessons learned. Some of these will get a bit of watercolor and some will stay just blue. Some will be made into cards...and some will be cut up for bookmarks. All in all...it was a good cyanotype session.
good day for long lunch,
ReplyDeletecyanotype play, haiku,
joyful puttering
Enjoy this holiday weekend, MaryAnn!
Ha ha....perfect! Enjoy your holiday weekend too Dotty. It's a little hard to celebrate our country right now....but we have to celebrate the hope of what it still can be again.
ReplyDeletewe've had a houseful of family coming and going and laughing and celebrating and eating and swimming and playing guitar and and and for about a week, with another five or six days to come!
ReplyDeletethank you for your shout out to me last evening, and woo hoo to your shades of blue haiku : )
Nothing better than an ongoing houseful of family! Enjoy every minute!
