Birds and Blooms

Can you find Mama?  It's been two years since she nested here, but she's settled right in as if she remembers me.  She is even calmer that she was before; I can poke the camera right into the tree to take pictures of her.  I even peeked into the nest while I had Ivy with me on the leash and she never batted an eye.

We'll see what it's like once the eggs hatch.

This is a very busy week, so posts are going to be few and far between.  Here's a preview of something I'm working on.

 

This is a first, quick run through. I've made some choices and some changes since this first rendering, as always.  I think I've already lettered it four or five times, making adjustments and adding color.  I really like this project--I may have it hanging in my own home eventually.

You are AMAZING. I love calligraphy (although when my aunt gave me my first set, I pronounced it "cal' uh gra fee" - she told me I was putting the accent on the wrong Si lob' bull.) but lack the steady hand and patience it requires. :)

Too much caffiene? Possibly!

I saw that birdie hiding amongst the blossoms.
The books are in a box and ready for me to go to the PO. I'll let you know when they are on their way...

Yippee! Thanks, Ellen! I am SO EXCITED!

And yes, I saw Mama Bird. How nice that she's so cooperative with your picture-taking. Please let her know we appreciate it!

Oh, the calligraphy is simply wonderful. How I wish I could live nearer to you and get you to tutor me!
