Flowers...

...real or not!  I found these flowers made of wood scraps and just knew that they could be part of my latest pocket.

Its a beautiful Spring day and walking out the back door I am surrounded by flowers.

Perhaps today I'll see a bunny in the grasses along the fence.

Music In My Pocket

                                                                              Front

It is impossible for me to imagine this world without music.  It surrounds me everyday in so many ways.

                                                                           Back

I admire those musicians who can make music for they must hear it in their heart and mind far before it ever reaches my ears.

A Soft Pocket

                                                                           Front

Quietly this pocket became real.  With bits of on-hand fabric, Sari silk and buttons found.

                                                                               Back

The colors going together as a meditation would - silently becoming.

"Leaf" Pocket

An autumn design in the middle of the hottest summer on record!  It felt good to think of cool, crisp October days as I worked with these fall colors.

The leaf is a 'find' from long ago -- again I'm searching through my stash to see what I can find that will go well with these petite pockets.

I'm thinking that dried flowers or branches will be a good addition to this Fall themed pocket.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.". - George Eliot
