UK Art Raffle- February entry
I'm taking part in UK Art Raffle. Click on the link for more info, but basically lots of us make something each month, based on a theme chosen by the organiser. February's theme was "TREES".
We all send our piece to the organiser's address, who randomly picks a winner (names in a hat sort of thing). Then that winner is sent the entire collection, the whole group's work, for that month!
I only got my membership confirmed last week, and the deadline was Saturday, so I had to rush this. Here's my entry, a watercolour, which I've then made and embossed a mount for:
I made a wee card out of the oval I cut out:
It's ok, but the standard in this group is enormously high, so I hope it doesn't look out of place alongside theirs. With more time, I might have taken a less literal approach. Never mind!

That is very nice work. I find we are usually harderon ourselves than others are!
You don't need to have any worries, Helena. Great interview too, very thoughtful and some good ideas in it for blogging.
hey! I just used that same skeleton leaf in my mini notebook! Except yours are way nicer! Great job!
Thanks for your wonderful comment!

your artwork awakens something in me- it's simplicity, art , and a kindred spirit all rolled into one- lovely your color pallette.

Angel,
Oh biy your pic looks soooo much like Figs, the b&w cat I had years ago, it always makes me smile to see you as it's like Figs popping in to check on me :)
Em, yes, I was once told I was my own worst enemy. I lose count of the poems, stories and pictures that go through the shredder.
Julie,
Ah! You found the interview! Thanks! I was wondering if anyone would. LOL!!!
Candy,
I find the skeleton leaves break really easily or else I would probably use them more.
Yours is a different species, a bigger one, beech, I think, and has a nice shape.
Forgot to say your last card was lovely for him and these are so elegant and beautiful!!
