I have taken some pictures which will be used in the sketchbook and I thought I would show them to you. Feeling very full of cold today so I have not yet done anything with them They are of a dried Allium which grew on my In-laws allotment and has been sitting in their living room since Christmas. I am really pleased with this first one, a lovely day so I just held it up in the air. Not very scientific but it did the trick. Quite pleased with this one.
This is the whole bunch together. Love the colours here.
A single smaller flower.
This picture shows the little black dots of the SEEDS. I have taken a risk and planted a few, well you never know do you? Lovely spiky look to these flowers once the petals have gone.
Spiky, spiky. I can think of lots to do with these images and I have decided that once Sophie is tucked up in bed on Friday evening and hubby is out I shall finish some marking and then have a play with some ideas in my book.
Another shot of this pic simply because I like it so much. Hubby thinks that I should make this into some cards.
Bye for now I need a hot cup of tea and an early(ish) night .

Have to agree, the picture is great! We have Alliums in our garden - they send up shoots every year, but we are yet to get a flower :( One day, maybe!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and especially the 1st/last one and your hubby is right it would make a very nice card.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your sketches of them.
