We all know the best time to drink our tea is on Tuesday. However, here are some further instructions in case you need them
I'm writing on the day of the Spring Equinox. I'm so ready for spring. Poppies are favorites of mine. I draw or paint them fairly often. Here are some poppies to celebrate spring.
oi pastels, ink, mixed media paper
I have been working on various ways to create my own blank sketch books, At the same time I want the books to be made using recycled materials as much as possible. I have lots to learn. Have any of you created your own blank books?
Hoping everyone is enjoying the changing of the seasons no matter which hemisphere you are in.
Thanks again to Elizabeth for hosting this Tuesday event. You can find out about Tuesday Tea and much more on her blog AlteredBookLover.
Your poppies are beautiful, Darla. I love them as well, and in the spring and early summer they flower in abundance in my garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tea chart. I'm glad to read fruit tea is great in the evening. I like it then because it fills my sweet tooth without all the calories. And that's a beautiful drawing too. Happy spring to you and happy T day too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, I love poppies too Good luck with your book making. Happy Spring and T day hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteYour sketch of the poppies is very pretty! I’ll be interested in how you make recycled blank books.

Poppies are my favs, too - yours came out beautiful! YES to Spring, I think ours still is on hold (again). Happy T-Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! I have not made my own blank book before but you have made me think about doing it! Super cool tea poster too. Happy Spring and happy T-day! Hugz
ReplyDeleteI love your poppies. They are not as popular here as they are in CA, so seeing them in your painting made me smile. I learned a lot about what tea to drink and when. For me, I need the caffeine 24/7 (grin). Thanks for sharing this Tea poster and your fabulous poppies with us for T this Tuesday, dear Darla.
ReplyDeleteI have made quite a few books. They are listed under Visual Journals on my blog.
Chamomile tea :) matches my post for today. That poppy is nice and reminds me of old nature prints I've seen. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeletePoppies are beautiful and i love yours! I usually drink decaff black tea.. Lipton.. No i have never made my own book... But you can check out LorriMarie Jenkins on YouTube.. she has several videos showing the way.. Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour poppy artwork is pretty. I drink black tea in the morning, lunch, afternoon and then a cup of peppermint tea after supper, in fact finishing up my cup of peppermint as I type this. Happy t day.
ReplyDeleteI too love poppies. Ohhh I wish the weather would change here. It doesn't feel like spring at all. Good luck with your book.
ReplyDeleteYour poppies are beautiful- I love poppies whatever their size! I'm sorry but tea is not for me - I can't tolerate the tannin so I'll stick to coffee thank you. Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteYears ago I went to a book making class at Letters of Joy (annual gathering of calligraphers - no longer happening). There are a couple of books that are good resources. I'll see if I can find the one I bought and let you know its title. Loved your poppies, Darla.
