May's Garden






Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.




Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.



In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.




It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.







Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.




Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.






A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.





When I go into the garden, I forget everything. It's uncomplicated in my world of gardening. It's trial and error, really. If something doesn't work, it comes out, and you start all over again.





A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.




Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

The Journal Comes Together

Riveted canvas boards I'm using as book covers....








Actually, it's a hole punched in the canvas and the rivet glued in since the canvas was thicker than the rivet...

Those other tiny holes will be for beads and wire...maybe...




Punched and riveted my palette pages (more about those here)....
You can see my handy little template for hole punching and the tool I used...

And voila......



My Color Journal.....


HappY Color  Mixing!
