Real life has suddenly got very busy - nice work things, so it's all good - and then I've wanted (needed!) to spend most of my spare time at the craft table.
It's the start of a crazily busy week here at Words and Pictures (and I won't even be around for most of it - fingers crossed for Blogger managing the scheduled posts).
So we're starting with a quickie, a sneak peek in fact, which may allow me to claw back some visiting time soon.
Today I'm hoping to tempt you over to The Artistic Stamper to see a light, airy, watery little make, and I've even managed to keep things pretty short and sweet over there too!
It would be lovely if you had time to hop over for a closer look, and I'll hope to catch you around Craftyblogland in the next few days.
Long glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.

Gorgeous Alison!!
ReplyDeleteJust back from looking Alison and the dragonfly is such a magical looking creature especially when you espy him darting and diving over the surface of water. As soon as the sunlight catches his wings the colours dart all over the place and that is how you have captured him with your beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteWarm crafty hugs from Shirl x x
The fresh greens are a perfect hint of Spring Alison along with the dragonflies. And ACD reflects on them perfectly.

ReplyDeleteA very beautiful piece Alison. I do love to see dragonflies on artwork as it brings back a memory of seeing a real one very close-up years ago.
