On Fridays I go to an art class. I know, it’s a tough old life, but what can you do? Our teacher is hugely talented. When we arrived last week, we had this to draw:
It’s a perfect little fairy garden she made using a square of astroturf, some dwarf hyacinths and daffodils from her garden, scallop shells and stones, and a large dash of imagination. We were all beside ourselves at the beauty of this little miniature garden. She was dismissive. ‘Oh, it’s just like those gardens you used to make with the children when they were small …’
Erm, what gardens? I’ve never made a garden like that in my life. Here’s a bigger picture so you can see how small it really was. And yes, that is a tiny bird’s nest in the branches. With a little feathery bird inside. Sigh.
Adorable. Loving this weeks topic and all the different takes 🙂
I know, it’s a good one, isn’t it? Glad I remembered to enter this week. I was going to do ‘Colour’ last week but forgot to post it … doh!
I’m loving this week’s theme too. Now you’ve mentioned your art class we’ll all be expecting more art on display on your blog. You can’t just drop this in once you know!
Eeek! I don’t think I thought this through properly ….. not sure the world is ready for my artistic efforts!
Haha. I’d be seriously concerned if that’s what you did in your spare time. A classic dust-catcher, as my grandma would have called it. Now back to writing, hop hop! 😉
Gosh you’re a hard task master, MM ….. but you’re quite right, back I go. Hope you’re feeling better x
I want to see your drawing of it…..Lx
Ooopsie, I seem to have mislaid it somewhere *blushes* x
what a lovely fairy garden… now wheres your drawing?! 🙂
Well, my drawing didn’t quite do it justice … and I seem to have lost it …. now how did that happen?!
Ooh what an adorable display! A perfect melange of fake and natural…!! ooh I sound like Martha Stewart but I guess on some level she is my idol. I am craft and crochet mad and will give something like this a whirl.
Really?! Having read your fantastic novels I’m surprised, thought you were more likely to be shaking a cocktail than arranging cockle shells …. I’m impressed – and I’d like to see the crochet 🙂
