Hello Friends!
I'm afraid I haven't felt much up to blogging lately, but I thought I'd share with you some cards I made recently.
The Scrivenings and Witterings of a Wild Welsh Woman of the Western Shores
Hello Friends!
I'm afraid I haven't felt much up to blogging lately, but I thought I'd share with you some cards I made recently.
Hello Friends!
Just popping in quickly with the latest outcome in my online art group Drawing Magic Circle.
Graphite pencil, graphite block, tortillon paper stumps for blending, and subtraction using Tombow fine eraser and kneadable putty eraser.
If you had told me two years ago I would be competently drawing and painting animals on a regular basis I would have laughed in your face! Just shows what you can achieve with regular daily practice.
Hello Friends!
Today, March 1st, is Saint David's Day. David, or Dewi Sant, is the Patron Saint of Wales and today he is celebrated throughout Wales, and across the world where many Welsh communities exist. I have written previously here and here if you would like to read more. Typing is wearing me out these days, so I apologise for the brevity and for referring you to previous posts.
Here is a selection of photos from my library in celebration of Saint David and of being Welsh.
Two pictures of the Shrine of David, restored, at St Davids Cathedral
The Bishop's Blessing on the Cross Square 14th century prayer cross. The then bishop, the Rt. Rev Wyn Evans is giving the Blessing, ably assisted by the then Dean, the Rev. Jonathan Lean, the then Mayor, Cllr. John George, and finally the then Canon Dorrien Davies who has just been consecrated as the 130th Bishop of St Davids. This year it will be Bishop Dorrien leading the ecclesiastic celebrations.
And now for tea time treats!

Hello Friends!
East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a Norwegian fairy tale. You can read about it by clicking the link, it is really too long to type it all out especially with my shaking hands.
This is my copy, illustrated by the renowned artist and writer Jackie Morris She often exhibits locally, and I have seen the original work from which this book cover is taken. It is a big painting, and quite beautiful and magical, as is all of her work.
