The rose bushes are really growing. They took off so fast this year, before I even had a chance to cut them back. I love this time of year as we see new growth, whether from the earth, or from ourselves. I find Spring to be a time for starting new projects, pulling out brighter colors, and seeing everything with a refreshed perspective.
The lawn has been mowed once already....not for trimming grass, but to manage the weeds. I admit, I do not mind weeds. Afterall, that is where the clovers grow.....and it's where I find inspiration for adding organic shapes to my journal, Frond Chronicles. I'm started another one, for my class in July. Love trying to draw a replica of a real plant, but love making fantasy fronds too. Check out my pussy willow. The bunch was set in water at the grocery store so I put them in water at home - never did that before. And look! They are growing. HCIT? I'll be cut a few new stencils and masks inspired by them!
Maybe you'll come celebrate fronds with me in Jersey in July? We will focus on making our own tools (stencils and masks), and we will paint pages and make a fab journal. See HERE for details.
HAPPY EASTER!!
