Stay curious... come what may!

Hello all!  Such dull, grim, grey weather - so disheartening... but a good reason to stay indoors at the craft table, eh?  There's a lot going on at the moment, so I'm grateful for any time spent with my inks and paints and stamps, and I had a lovely time with the art journalling I'm sharing over at the Country View Crafts Projects blog today.


I hope this sneak peek will make you curious enough to hop over and check it out... and whatever you're up to this week I hope it goes well for you.  See you soon!

The important thing is not to stop questioning.  Curiosity has its own reason for existence.  One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality.  It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.
Albert Einstein (almost certainly my "most-often-quoted"!)

If you don't mind hopping to see the full reveal, I would love to share my little birds in their wintry setting with the lovely Chrissie's Winter Wonderland theme at Art Journal Journey

  19. Alison...your scribbly birds art journal pages are so so sweet. First of all, I love your colors. I always do! I love the way you have one bird perched on the branch and the other among those wonderful stamped twigs and brown foliage. The pages themselves have a wonderful peaceful quality to them. You are such an artist and I am such a fan!
