Autumn Version

I had a request for this same sonnet with a different illustration--an anchor and autumn-colored leaf...
 
...and I didn't hesitate to take up the challenge--a good excuse to pull out my watercolor pencils again.
 
 

 
the finished product

 
I practiced several anchors before being pleased with this one.
 
 
 
watercolor leaves
I love to do these!

Skippin' Rope

This month's Vintage Stamping Challenge, sponsored by flonzcraft.com is                             
 Anything From Your Garden. 
 

This little girl, a favorite new stamp reminding me of my mother as a girl, is skipping rope in her daddy's garden.
