The rains have finally arrived and this was the perfect weekend to stay home, make some cream of cauliflower soup, some pumpkin bread and play with my art!
I'm having fun making these little accordion books....so I made another class example. This time I used primarily photos from magazines. Since, we made zentangles, in class, I included one of those and one of our projects is going to be making a coffee or tea cup, so, I included one.
This is the front cover......
As I am writing this blog, and looking at this photo, I am profoundly struck by what this little booklet reveals about me! I love color, unconventional art, red doors, shiny smooth sculptures and using outdoor furniture inside! Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe Julia's book is helping me discover my "vein of gold".
Sunday, we took the dog for a long walk and along the way I picked up a few colorful, fall leaves.
Voila, another page for my nature journal and a lovely, relaxing weekend comes to an end.

What a great weekend and the book is lovely, the colours vibrant. I may have to dig out my Julia book!
How pretty! I had made a book like this (accordian) for my daughter one year, filled with all her pictures. I had used a butterfly stamp and some newspaper in the pages as the backgrounds and it turned out so pretty. I still have it around here somewhere... That was fun. I really love your fall leaves too...wonderful work!
I can say that when I used to do walks in the mornings, I found so much more inspiration...not just for drawing/painting, artsy stuff, but also ideas for all sorts of things. It works!!! :)

BTW...cauliflower soups sounds interesting!!!
It seems I keep playing catch up. I love the leaves. They are so well done and the colors blend so flawlessly. Of course, I love that cup of coffee, too. What a colorful and clever drawing.
