Messy Little Details

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

For the next few MLD posts I am going to share some photos from my holiday in Munich starting with this one.

We were walking through an alleyway between one crowded street and another and I saw this performer and quickly snapped her.  There was no time to frame the shot or wonder about how to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I just pressed the button and walked on.  And I am really pleased with the result.

Thanks for stopping by.

Monthly Photo

On 12 Months in View there is a monthly photo challenge which you can find out about here.

I have been taking a photo of my back garden every month since March.

Here's September's photo - although it doesn't look that much different from last month.

 

However it already feels quite autumnal so I think there will be a big difference next month.

Thanks for stopping by.

Plant rather than flower of the month

On 12 Months in View Susan has provided an excellent blog post about the Hawthorn which is the plant of the month for September.

The challenge was to go back to her original tutorial in March and produce a drawing.

I printed out the colouring sheet and cut out the design.   I scribbled with a pencil over the back and then drew over the outline to make a soft drawing on the page.   I cut up the sheet so I could put extra flowers and berries.

I used my Inktense water soluble crayons to colour in and then used a waterbrush to spread the colour.  For the background I used the waterbrush onto the pencil and then wiped that across the page.

It looks a bit unfinished so maybe I'll come back to it later in the month.

Thanks for stopping by.
