Inspiration Avenue - Red White and Blue



Today's been pretty great.  We bought a little round table and two chairs for our back yard.  It's only a tiny patio, but it looks out over lots of greenery and it's quite a sun-trap during the day.  We're going to get some potted plants to make it a bit nicer, but for now it was just such a treat to sit outside and make some pictures.  More birds - but this time made from cut-out card and my new favourite thing: a white gel pen!

These are for this week's Inspiration Avenue topic.  I made the eagle this afternoon and the swallows this evening, when there were actually swallows chirping and swooping about overhead.  One of our neighbours was having a barbecue and another was singing in his kitchen - I love working away with all that happy hubbub in the background!

    1. Thanks Diane! Hunt one down if you can - I just came across it in an art shop next to all the drawing pens, and I love it!
