Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Daisy Handbag


Todays featured make is this little handbag gift bag that I made for the design team over at JB Crafting Supplies. The daisies were designed by Adele over at Jiggery makery. I reduced them in size, coloured them and then cut them out. I have to admit that, that was a little labour of love...lol..but every girl loves a handbag. The butterfly is a diecut from my stash which I coloured with my copics.

The weather here today is either bright bright sunshine or torrential rain depending what minute it is..lol. I took Reg out for a wheel in a dry patch but today for some reason he wasn't very keen. I think perhaps the weekend has taken it's toll on him as well. We had only got as far as the park and he turned round and wasn't for going any further, just determined to go home. So we did. At the moment he is asleep in his basket..snoring gently but loudly..lol.

I'm definately feeling creative at the moment..I just don't know what to do first...I'm thinking of starting the skull..I just need to find my acrylics.I know that I have a small case of acrylic in tubes..but I also need to buy some new bottles.I'm also planning to paint the kitchen in the next couple of weeks..I will share when I've done...the plan involves some raspberry bellini and cream paint and lots of strange art. Just hold that thought...lol.

Well the coffee is calling and then the hunt is on for the acrylics. I hope you are having a good day.So until tomorrow take care and happy crafting.
