Also, once I saw someone else doodling on leaves, I couldn't help myself. All my practice leaves now look just like birds to me. That's all I can see now. Birds, birds, birds...

Head full of flowers
I've started an online class this week - Color Drop Flowers with Martha Lever. This is so much fun, except for the fact that these pesky work obligations keep me from playing. These are my first efforts. I see all the things that can be done better, but for a beginner, I'm happy with them. And I loved all the special techniques Martha uses. I still need a good oriental brush - I can't believe that I have almost a dozen of them, but none are what I need (none make a good point at the end). I did find a squirrel brush at Michael's that I've used some. It's close to being a good substitute, but some of my petals look a little, well, squirrely. Go figure. I'm using the other brushes more for now, just to get comfortable with the technique.

Hi Pat,
These are absolutely lovely!!! I love the one that says field notes. You have done a GREAT job!! YAY! Love the doodle birds too. I am posting a color drop bird tomorrow. It is my first try into color drop birds. He's colorful!
Girl, you are waaaaaaaaaaay to hard on yourself. I think these look wonderful.
Beautiful flowers, but I have to admit, I like the little bird the best ;-)
Oh, Pat! This class looked like so much fun, and you make it look even funner! : )
Pat, these are wonderful! Love your petal skills! And the one that reads "Field Notes" is my favorite as well. Lovely colors!
