Sunday Afternoon with Tallulah...

Posted on 8:34 PM by jimmy

This afternoon I set up some of my Grandma's collection of tea cups to photograph...(a precarious stack...Grandma would have been holding her breath...and probably was!)...with a little moss and dried rose petals, and three sweet little eggs...(we found the eggs, unfortunately too late, when we moved our barbeque grill from the backyard of our other house to this one; they were in a nest inside).
I've been obsessed with nest and egg related things lately, in art work and decorating...and I've seen pretty little stacks of cups and eggs, so I thought I would try my own version...

The colors are all so pretty!...I love the periwinkle-blue and sea-green irridescents...

Tallulah was right there to help me...(some part of Tallulah could be

 seen in almost every
photo I took (see below)...♥

See the funny little open-mouthed bird in the above photo? He's a little Lustreware piece from
Japan, probably from the 1930s...I think he's a little ashtray, but he's much cuter just posing
in my photos and looking hungry!
That was my afternoon...procrastinating about starting a new watercolor (but having a lot of fun
doing it!)
I hope everyone has a great week!
