I'd seen a number of watercolor studies of feathers online recently and had a bit of an itch to do one myself. Fortuitously, I stumbled across this bluejay feather and thought it would be the perfect specimen:
These little nature studies are really fun to do and much quicker to finish than my usual work. I hope to do more of these in the future. This one's available here in my Etsy Shop.
I didn't find any feathers... but hopefully our most recent excursion outdoors will give some inspiration for further studies. We just came back from our annual trip to St. Louis to visit my family, where we all set out on a short side-trip together. We clambered about on huge rocks at Elephant Rocks State Park:
Visited an abandoned lead mine at the Missouri Mines State Historic Site which was excellent reference for my husband in his video game work:
Took a boat tour through an old flooded mine at Bonne Terre Mine:
And circled back to St. Louis where we got to be kids again at the incredible playgrounds of City Museum:

I've been working like crazy on putting together a cover photo. The top of my blog is one example of the theme I'm picturing for Oriana's Eyes. Although this is just a temporary image. I took it right as the sun was dipping below the trees. If you notice the tree leaves in the foreground and background are Oak leaves. I really lucked out with that!
Unfortunately after only a few minutes I was eaten alive by mosquitoes so I had to bail on the photo shoot. I'll try more later on. Hope you like it!

I'm plugging away on a new collection. I've been wanting to learn how to make patterns for awhile now. I bought Tara Reed's Repeat Pattern Combo pack a couple of months ago, then got too busy/distracted to use it. With the kids' camp days counting down, I realized I'd better get to it right away. I'm working on a bird collection based on my recent string of bird collages. I just love how these feathers turned out. Tomorrow, I'll start putting all the pieces together. Can't wait.

Really nice!!!…. <3
I see an unborn dream for the first time! And I like it sooooo much! Do mine look that way, too?:))) The third bird looks so proud to be “the artist’s interpretation of a sparrow” – after all the feeling and the impact are most important, aren’t they?:)))
Are you going to let the white bear from the stamp go free?
If you have found such a magical feather, then some of us will find another ones! What a beautiful poem – full of wisdom and tenderness! Thank you, Linda!x
