Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates...I'm looking forward to a lovely family dinner this afternoon and Chaya's first egg hunt.. should be so much fun... it's rather gloomy looking outside but the sun is supposed to shine.. we shall see...lol.. It actually hit 14c yesterday and finally last night there was a chorus of frogs singing.. love listening to them...and could even hear them over the geese... which is no mean feat.. let me tell you... I realized yesterday that in a week or so it will be the end of April.. and I haven't finished up anything for the accountant.. not a good thing.. so have been working hard on them.. wondering where my intention of having them done early went.. and of course vowing never to do this again... lol (yet again this year)
So quickly painting in between and working on my journal pages.. feeling a little stuck.. there will be a button on the sidebar if you'd like to check out what everyone is doing in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sketchbooks..
I did get my tangled eggs colored during my tea breaks... it's the first time I've used my black water color pencil.. it sure goes everywhere... no matter how little water you use...
not perfect but.. I so love how the basket turned out..
Anyways should get busy and get something done before we leave.. Hope everyone has a lovely day.. thanks for stopping by...

Kathy...the colors are perfect!It´s a wonderfull tangle! I also will use watercolor pencils soon. I`ve used them never before and I`m very curious about.
ReplyDeleteoooh Devona.. you will love them.. am totally hooked on them now..lol thank you.. xx
ReplyDeleteThis turned out fabulously Kathy!
ReplyDeleteKathy,I hope so! I`m waiting and waiting and waiting for the pencils, but amazon ist soooooo slowly *lol*. The pencils are my easter gift from my lovely man.xx
ReplyDeletePretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, springy tangle! :) The sun has made an unexpected appearance here today, after some snow flakes yesterday! The girls tell me it's "hot" outside, I shall have to go and see for myself! I slept with my window open last night, and fell asleep to the chorus of tree frogs, nature's lullaby. Have a wonderful Easter Kathy! :)
ReplyDeleteThese colours do make a difference don't they? Looks fabulous. If you have not used these pencils before, start very lightly, you can always give it another going over, and be careful with the black duck...
ReplyDeleteThanks Carmen...think the only thing I would do different is the black on the basket...so glad you like it..
ReplyDeleteHope they come soon Devona.. perfect gift.. can hardly wait to see what you do with them...
Thanks Christina..
Ahhh Melinda.. too cold yet for a window open .. but soon..I love listening to the frogs.. real snowflakes???? Hope none of them made it to the ground... the sun is out now still the odd cloud with a few spits in it..but turning out lovely.. Happy Easter to you and yours too...
Thanks Rosie.. am getting used to them.. was just really the black I had the most problems with.. oh and I don't like those Faber Castell ones nearly as much as my Derwent ones..they don't seem as soluble as the Derwent ones..
Thank you...
