Why Your Carrots Need to be Separated

….when they first come up through the ground

Today I pulled the carrots from our garden. They were certainly an interesting collection of sizes and shapes. I think our raised garden beds need to be higher and separating the seedlings at the beginning of the summer would have been beneficial to producing more normal shaped carrots.

Five Small Paintings

….in lesson three after making stamps from a kneadable eraser

After playing with my homemade stamp I proceeded to create a bunch of small paintings using all the techniques taught by Carla Sonheim in Crazy Flowers 2, up to this point; watercolour scraping, abstract flowers using a Pilot Pen, mark making with unusual tools and stamps made from a kneadable eraser.

The lesson only wanted three paintings but I got a little carried away and did five. The first on is a bit busy but I quite like the rest.
