This is typical of what happens when I decide to work on a theme – I drew, and battled with watercolours, mucked around with paper and glue and ink for a couple of days, then got distracted.  I sanded the front door, got caught up watching all the political coverage, gave the door its first coat of black paint, prepared and painted a shelf in my work room, thought about , and started embellishing some recycled envelopes for a mail art exhibition, and missed the deadline…

So… I thought, time to get back to the tulips, which are already starting to fade in the garden. Yesterday I was unsure how to proceed, so instead pulled out some embroidery threads and leftover fabric scraps and started playing -not a tulip in sight! Lots of fun though, even if it wasn’t the plan.

Update: 3 tulip purses finished and available.
