Small Things

The theme for this week is 'small'.

So I gathered together some of my smallest treasures in the lid of my tiny sewing basket and then played about with them!

Dicentra in June

June is the theme for this week.

 Dicentra (also known as bleeding heart) is in bloom in the garden. 

 I cut off one of the precious stems as it's been too windy to photograph outdoors - the long arching stems wave about all over the place!

Blue

Blue is the prompt for this weeks challenge,

 so old books and Ceratostigma flowers were put together.

Casting Flowers in Plaster

This weeks challenge is 'new'.

During lock down I've discovered a new activity, or perhaps I should call it

a new obsession - casting flowers in plaster.

The flowers I used here are Pyracanthus and Brambles.  The Brambles are vigorously growing in my front garden and although they are a menace I do love the blackberries they produce!

Angelica in Spring

This weeks theme is Beautiful Spring.

In the garden the Angelica is shooting up at great speed - it is taller than me now and quite spectacular.  

Unfortunately the day was dull and windy and not so beautiful!

Ferns in May

The challenge is 'May'  

and the beautiful ferns are slowly unfurling and coming into their full glory.

Red Books and a Lantern Fly

Red for this weeks challenge.

I found a couple of old red books and a small lantern fly from my collection of dead things - he has such a sweet little red body!
