Summer Memories as I Clean Up for Winter

Hello!

Today was a day made for working outside.  The sun was shining and though it was brisk (ice on the pails of water) I worked hard enough to take two layers of clothing off...which put me down to two left on!  I trimmed, pulled, bagged and relocated.  Generally just tried to get everything in ship shape for Mr. Winter.

There were still flowers on some stalks of poppy and a few marigold...quite a few Pansy and violets, but up they came regardless.  Still looking at the colors in the blossoms brought back memories of my garden in its glory this summer...

I painted this scarf during summer while daydreaming about all the bright colorful blossoms, butterflies and hummingbirds.  It is 100% silk with gutta and silk dye.  I do all my drawing free hand and then hand paint it in using small brushes.

If you should be interested in silk painting you can check with a local art store or online you can take a look at Dharma.  They are helpful and have everything you need to get started.
