Better Late than Scratched

Quite a week

Rocks piled one on top of the other form this land

Rocks that lie in water

Trees stand proud atop this pile of rocks

Roots work their way down

into that life giving water.

The Artist Way Collective met on Monday.

There are seven of us

 each one quite unique

Each one so inspiring

I am so grateful to be one of them.

Then on Wednesday

Three of us drove up the valley

the buy wool and vegetables.

A lovely day out.

On Friday as I couched bits and pieces of my new wool

we received sad news of the passing of my Auntie Rosie.

Roses were added..

and when my cousin suggested I add some rosemary

I made a very weak attempt at doing so.

Rosie was the best Aunt

Much Loved

She will be missed.

On Saturday my friend Chris arrived for a few days play

She always comes with lovely doggie biscuits

for some very excited Rusty Pups!

We played with paint and brush and Gelli Plates and Softoleum.

We sipped wine and feasted on quinoa and asparagus.

On Sunday we learned all about solar plates

and printing presses.

But unfortunately snow cut our day short

and we will have to return to complete the workshop.

A sad but busy week.
