Watercolors

I pulled out my little wood box of watercolors,

it has been so long since I used them 

that I decided to create a sample page for reference.

I get excited about the color mixing possibilities 

just viewing all the colors!

Then a little creative fun with flowers...

.

May Day

As the sweet tradition goes...

the small baskets are often homemade and filled with flowers or treats.

They are usually left anonymously on neighbours' doorsteps

or hooked over the handle or knob.

or in this case the door knocker

The basket giver rings the bell and runs away

May Day Basket created with heavy card board and paint sample cards

by cutting them in thin strips and weaving them in and out

in a basket weave design

then wrapping the handle with additional strips.
