A Baltimore oriole nest hanging from a branch. Glad I took time to look up.
A hedgerow of dried weeds and grasses. Gathered they make wonderful arrangements and great inspiration for sketching.
As you can see some made their way indoors.
Who doesn't enjoy a blue sky this time of the year...
Naturally these two count as special treasures.
Last but not least am enjoying this treasure of a book. It was written during the pandemic by Bex Partridge. A wonderful resource for all of us who like to gather and design with dried flowers.
Well hope friends you will share some of your January treasures.
Take care and God Bless!

Did you sketch the bunny and the chicken? Realistic! Good work. 😊
ReplyDeleteenjoyed your post! I have never seen an oriole's nest they don't usually nest here but stop by for a short time during their migration. I have made homemade papers from dried weeds-your books looks interesting too. hugs from the lake Kathy
ReplyDeleteJanuary has many treasures, when you look closely! I love your sketches! They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour journal pages are gorgeous! We are having days of rain here and everything is sodden and muddy! I don't usually mind a bit of weather but normally there is a bit of a break in-between. I am trying to count my blessings of which I know there are many ;o) Your post is one, it's lovely to hear your cheery 'voice'. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYour pen and ink work is so good! It almost doesn't seem like January, with no snow and warmer temps. Makes it easy to gather stuff to draw and paint! Thank you so much for the prayers! Love you my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Bible quote. Great photography too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
