Friday Catch Up - 19th July 2024

World Watercolor Month / Doodlewash

13. Arch, 14. Spiral

15. Vitamins, 16. Fiber, 17. Plant

18. Record

19. Widen

Gelli Plate Printing
I used real leaves and flowers with acrylic paints






I have a scrawny rose bush in my garden but it had these beautiful roses on it, just the two.



The photos for Thursday Doors, Monday Window and Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge were all taken at Sizergh Castle, a medieval manor with lovely gardens in the Lake District. It's a National Trust property and I have a lot more photos to share another time.









We actually had a day with no rain and it was hot!
Enjoy your week whatever the weather.

  4. How handy it would be to have a pot of vitamines growing on the window sill!

  5. I love those 2 sweet mice. And you've inspired me to Gelli print with some real leaves and other natural bits. Did you first put down some paint, or did you put down the plant part first? Your pieces came out fabulous. I love the old architecture too. Have a super rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika

    1. For the gelli prints I put the paint down first, then the leaves.

  8. There's a very interesting looking boat in one of those photos, with a very high prow, almost like a gondola. Not at all a local style, I wouldn't think!
