In an effort to find my missing mojo I sat down and
did some book browsing....
Not quilting or sewing books but.....
Botanical Art books!
I find the colours and designs inspiring!
I love botanical art.....
I find the colours and designs inspiring!
I have some lovely pieces of botanical art I
treasure....
And this is a cross stitch of poppies I made in
my 'cross stitch days'!
In fact, I even took a watercolour class a few years
back....
I think I'd like to go back to it one day,
when I have the time and space.....
when I have the time and space.....
and the mojo!

whoa!!! Your watercolor is very good indeed! You should go back to it {as well as continuing with your quilting, etc}...but I know how difficult watercolor is. You are very talented!!!
ReplyDeleteI love botanicals, too! What lovely pictures. And I agree that you are very talented!
ReplyDeleteI'll echo Mary's sentiments and say that watercolour is amazing!!! You've certainly got a talent for that art!!
ReplyDeleteYes I have to agree, your watercolour is fabulous. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteah, the cross stitch days. For me that was 1979-1987...I made a truckload of projects. I hope your mojo returns soon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good... Hope your mojo will find its way back.
ReplyDeletelovely post.... nature is most inspiring... mojo just needs a rest... it has had many many busy hours...

ReplyDeleteGorgeous watercolour and cross stitch Suz. You should definetly go back to it. I love botanical art books too. The detail is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how we move from one art/craft to another, some we do all along, some get left behind. Your painting and stitching are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love botanical art too...the poppies are great.
ReplyDeleteJust found your Blog and enjoyed my visit
ReplyDeleteWow, you have many talents! Those little 'sashing' leaves in your stitchery are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLosing your mojo is never good, but it can be nice to take a break and use the time to gather inspiration and find old things you used to love doing =D
ReplyDeleteI am sure your mojo will return soon , your water color is incredible and you really should go back to that ,it would be shame to waste such talent.
ReplyDeleteForgot to comment on this. Love your watercolour, you multi talented woman you!
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say I am IMPRESSED with that water colour. Stick men are difficult for me. Mojo still hiding under the carpet!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love botanical drawings and paintings and if I could paint like you, I'd definitely be doing some. It's wonderful. I have an overload of sewing mojo, I wish I could send you some.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do make time to do some more watercolours...you have skill.
