First I made the little one, from this tutorial.
Then I made the larger one, starting from this tutorial, and adding a little this and that.
And then...they clearly belonged together.
Such a pleasing Easter Sunday afternoon in the playroom.

good time

It was a Truly Beauty-Full Sunday overhere. Sunshine, warmth, and so much bustin~forth.
Uncountable little Beauties amidst Mighty Beauty.
I took a Lot of photos, between potterings. For now, here, this one.
And probably more will show up here soon, as we prepare to unfasten our safety belts for our first 2012 Mercury Retro time. A welcome-here little window of my kinda flow.
Perfumed with blossom~scent, serenaded by all manner of Birdsong.
Nature's exquisite Grace feeds me Deeply.
And I really, really, really, Love this time of ending Winter and Spring manifesting so very resolutely.

The six gliding young men in the first vid in the previous post, below,
remind me in moments of the crop circle pic, middle right, above.
And then I saw how sweet the ijli3 pins were all looking this evening,
and figured I better splashemaroundabit.
Painterly's looking Gorgeous too.

Bunny Tail Times

On the Full Moon nights, She sails on high thru the Air, for a long, long time. Sinking thru the leafless Sweet Chestnut Tree, on round and down behind the hedge, in the wee small hours when it seems just me and the Birds are joining in.
Beauty-Full GrandMother.
And I just have to make portraits.
This is the last Rabbit Moon. Next up..... Whoooooooooop Here Comes A Dragon!
I realised with somewhat of a shock, that a painting I did called 'The Last Dragon Moon' was, um, 24 years ago. Goodness. A While.
I can feel that Dragon breath already stirring some Monkeybusiness up. It's a kind of twinkle feeling in my eyes. Regardless of challenges 'on the ground', of which there are plenty and various: Even with xyz galore to deal with, I'm a happy end-Bunny-time Tigress, generally.
Here are some swoon-worthy recent gatherings from my Pinterest boards. Plenty more overthere, too.

O. How I love the synergy. The mirrors. Juicy juxtapositions bringing reflections into clearer focus.

And O I am honoured to see that Miss Fran Meneley has been calling overhere, and put the lovely Mr Bentley vid on her fine blog. Thank You for the kind mention! xxx

Some years at some Winter moment there comes a specific non-negotiable yearning for Fierce Red.
This year is such a year, and the moment arrived.
YumYum, the right colour at the right time is like the right food. Just so satisfyingly delicious.
More and more snippets of it appearing around my nest, Warming and brightening.
...
...
And of course, all over my lovely Pinterest boards.
Here are glimpses, and there's more deliciousness to savour overthere.

and some more from 'festive' :

Winter-e Morn

I saw my first Proper snow this morning. Unusually, I was up early... woken by Sunbeams, who, it turned out, were ushering in some Snowies. Here are some other recent pics from hereabouts:

I turned the last pic into my Winter-e card, and just sent that out too. I took it looking out my front door, during the flurries. Proper Snowing! This year is my earliest ever, I think, for being done and dusted on the cards and gifties all sorted front. The timing of the recent Mercury Retro was Juss Fine for me...
So now comes a time of deepening snuggling. Hibernation is happening overhere. I hope you are warm and Deeply Peaceful wherever you are too.
Time for a Snooze.

These instant mosaics which appear, ever-shifting as I find and add new treasures to my Pinterest boards; I love'em.
And since there's no direct photo evidence of any other creativities overhere, I'll post these. Just to keep it cooking nicely.
Whoop! December's nearly upon us. Thank you November, you've been good, if fast.

Dabble de Los Muertos
...
...
1.11.11 painting.
First I gathered some pics:
from:
Two large Beauties - coloured one found here (ps I just found the original: Dia De Los Muertos Calaca 2011, and a Beauty-full work-in-progress pics post. The original is much larger than I realised. Lovely.)
and black and gold Dia De Los Muertos 2011 - Ernesto Yerena - see it large and fabulous here.
Ernesto Yerena's tumblr page is full of wonders.
(That's one of those good find-as-you-blog links. I was thinking earlier how I'd like to see it larger. And there it is, and a Whole Lot more besides. I love this poster there, too.)
small blackandwhite = dia de los muertos + small coloured image original here. Thanks to all these artists ~ sorry not to know all your names!
...
And I put all the pics together and filled my Air screen with them, and got down to some restorative dabbling.
So I had a fine 1.11.11. O so good to paint again. Big Thank you to dear Pamela for keeping me keeping on.
I figured I needed a better 'play' word. 'Dabble' it is. For Now. Dabble's had a bad name for too long. I'm bringin Dabble back.
Happy continuing creativities to us all.

It's Jedward's twentieth Birthday today. (They say they are now "TwinTeen".)
Such fun online: JedwardGenius made a lovely celebratory page, (Yep, - scroll down: this one is in there),
and of course there is twittering like a rainforest symphony.
Youtube fan HB vids galore, made with care and collaborative creativity. 2011 style.
Something deeply sweet about all those Happy Wishes flying around, with so much Love.

stitchpics catchups
...
So now ... on this gloriously delicious warm and Sunny last day of September 2011...
I get around to posting pics of stitchedness which happened somewhere back there. Current TimeWarpSpeed has it all blurring into 'somewhere back' there, if it isn't happening now....
So, in the blur of previous-to-today, I made a feather for jude's Magic Feather project, and I made a blessingstitch for my newest friend, Genevieve, who is my dear friend Zoe's first baby. I met G thru Z's belly, for a delightful hour, a few weeks before she was done cooking. We had a deeply pleasant thru-belly exchange. Zoe was my assistant a decade ago. It's so very Lovely that she is blossoming on into Mothering, now. After all kinds of wondrous adventures inbetweentimes.
~ ~ ~
The Feather, and some pics from my first visit to Beauty-Full Cromer, which just want to sit on the screen next to the stitchedfeatherpics:

jude's pic of my feather, + the note I sent with it, is here. Along with a growing flock of other fine featherpics.

While I was making it, everything was pink. Everything.

Cromer (Pluto)
...
Pics from my second lovely trip to Cromer, last week. Or 'Cromer (Pluto)', as Poppy mysteriously says in her magnificent mermaid drawing...
...
...My assistant Bruce gathering some fabulous stones, who now nestle by my Silver Birch Tree.
... Another of Cromer's Mysteries: Who Ate All The Bunting?...
...
... Bruce reckons he could move to Cromer, maybe when he is 40. I had a Moment when I added on the two decades till then. I'll / I might, be 70. I am not sure I have ever thought of myself as reaching 70, really.
I did wonder, watching the tribes of Seaside Spectacular audience zimmer, buggy and shuffle their way back along the marvellous pier to the awaiting buses, whether I would ever join their ranks. I don't suppose they all dreamed of being as they are when they were 21... or even when they were 49.
Meanwhile, back a little further inland, the skies behind the shape+colourshifting leaves are bright Blue, and the forecast looks like something from July, not late September. Really, I am not complaining.
I may even manage another trip to lovely Cromer (Pluto), while the Sun shines.

+ Happy New Moon to us all.

Everyday Superstars
...
ok so I think there is a thread or seven dancing between these pics I want to post now:
So happy about my new portrait pic, taken today. Technically yesterday, but it's a wee small hours Thing and I am going with it... Good to keep the portraitpic fresh, and the previous shadowy one began to feel old-hat, as the bright Sunshine sinks faster each evening...
First one taken on my beyond-words-lovely new MacBook Air. Yep. Uhhuhhh. Mmmmmmhmmmm.
And the wheel-wing thing just delighted me.
And led neatly to a way to bring in my latest crush. I mean Deep Love crush.
My JoyBoys.
Pure Baby Popsters. Who Fly. And who have a fondness for wing-ish RockStar outfits.
(That's my link and I am sticking to it.)
(this pic, and the next one too, from the glorious jedwardGenius site)
I fell for these soon-to-be-20-year-olds a few weeks back, and have been sleuthing ever since.
I'll keep this brief-ish for now. But the nutshell version is that Jedward is/are, most unexpectedly, my new Love/s.
They got me smiling and Dancing. I mean; Proper lift-the-Spirit Dancing, again.
Nice when Love visits.
And since a bit of Astro sleuthing is bound to follow, I went on to find all kinds of direct hits between their chart and mine. I had to create just a noon one, since I cannot find their birth~time online, but it's enough to see that juicy Virgo-Venus-Jupiter of theirs Dancing (Large, naturally) to the degree, all over my Pluto, and their Sun right on my Ascendant, and their Chiron smack on my North Node. Ok. Well. That's a few Deep Somethings...
And it seemed like even more of a something once I read they were born 3 months prematurely.
That's early, huh? I mean, not long cooking.
Divine Choreography. Whatcanyedo?
I surrender. I do.
And clearly, they have cooked a bit in the two decades since then...
And I will post only two pics of them here now. Maybe a couple more links for interested folk...
one: PlanetJedward
two: My trulyspacious YouTube channel.
Many, Many, Many glimpses going on overthere. But, trust me: there is a Lot more Jedward material to be found/heard/seen than is there.
And I may not admit to quite how many pics and links which I now have, already, in my shiny new Air folders...
As one (an astro-aware one, anyways) might anticipate, when we are talkin Pluto, we are talkin Truly Madly, Deeply. And p e r h a p s a l i t t l e o b s e s s i v e l y. Perhaps.
And, since we are also talkin, on their side, Venus joining Jupiter, then we are also talking a Lot of Beauty. A Phenomenal Lot of pics. And vids. They are prolificly present, and I cannot imagine who they will become, but I am so looking forward to watching it unfold. Because there is Something they bring that I want to see more of, while I am here too. Something Bright and Pure. I don't seeeeem to be alone in seeing it.... Hah!
So funny.
Ok. That's enough of that for the moment.
The next two things I want to post are these: a little Ijustlikeit3 (Pinterest board) snippet:
Mmmm, nice, eh?
and another Artrage Doodle.
WIth all the sortings of The New Air, I didn't get to the Wacom tablet yet.
Speakers, yes. ("Everybody. Rock Your Body...")
Tablet; soon. Meanwhile, fingers on new, exquisitely-sensitive touchpad...
"Throw your Hands Up in the Air... Wave'em round like you just don't care."

Love Doodle
...
I just downloaded an Artrage update. This is my trying-out-new-things doodle. I'm in Love.
And this was mostly with left hand on laptop. I am dusting down my Wacom tablet soon soon.
And then, O, and then...
O the instant joy of Artrage play. It's like meeting again with an ole pal who has grown a lot in the meantime...
Happy Creative Weekend Wishes to us all.

Evening in Cromer, on Monday. Maybe the last Summer Evening...
I've been unwell in the days since then, and it's been raining a lot... the pics I took in Cromer are reassurance that I didn't simply dream my Sunny Seaside trip... it Really Happened... I finally made the 25 mile trip up to the North coast of Norfolk, and, as dearly hoped, I Really Love it there.
I'll post more of those pics, and and and, soon.
Mercury is turning direct. Perhaps I'll find my way properly back to onlineness again...

Funny how things go along, eh.
I was preparing to post this, a pic of my current explorings within the 21st Century Rags course;
went to make tea, and on my screensaving slideshow on my return was this pic, a drawing from 2007.
Clear Echoes!
I've put some more detail pics, of this and other recent stitchings, into the 2011 stitchpics gallery, too.
