Challenging Watercolours ....

As part of the Fun Friday Challenge on

Etsy Cottage Style , select choices are made

each week , to create something .

Just to let you know - i am still creating things ;o)

And last week`s choice was windows .

I decided to challenge myself more , and use

watercolours - which i have no real experience with .

I made my window using a painted bamboo cane ,

beads - so it looked like a curtain pole . Sewed a pair of

country style curtains , surrounded with wallpaper .

I then painted my scene , as if i were looking out of the

window , onto rolling hills and countryside at dusk time .

And in the foreground is a glimpse of my walled garden

with various flower bushes .

At first , i found it relaxing , but as it progressed ,

it became a " pain " , and i wanted to scrap it !!

Probably because it was from my imagination ,

and i was not actually sat at that scene doing it .

But now - i am glad i persevered with it ,

and i am happy with my finished piece ! !
