I needed to get my creativity back. I've been sewing - I have made a wall quilt for our bedroom and I've been thinking lots about stuff to come. I have started (finally) the quilt for our bed. Still, something was missing! My designing skills seemed to still be on summer holiday. Bugger! So what do I do about that? I was looking around at work the other day a saw my two little, dried, native poppy seed heads sitting quietly on top of one my filing cabinets and I thought - I could paint one of them! Well, 30 mins later this is what I did! I'm happy! 
This beautiful Raven I found on a walk around the waterfront when I went for a long look around the shore while I was in Vancouver in November last year. He was a cheeky bird ans was watching me while I took photo after photo of him. He just came closer and closer. By the time I took this photo, I could have reached out and patted him.
He was very small compared to the ravens we have here but he was a lot more friendly than our natives!
I might have just found my creative mojo again!

Well done! I have been sketching my dried lotus seeds as part of the sketch book challenge...dried seed pods are so fascinating! I like your frog...and your raven, too.
Hi Sally, I really have enjoyed looking through your block - you have made some wonderful quilts. Laura is my tutor. I am really looking forward to some quilt making, I am a complete novice in this field.
Sally, that should say blog, not block!! And thank you for your kind comment.
Wow! I'm impressed! I can't even draw stick men to look like stick men!! VERY nice work!!! You've got your mojo back!
I agree, you have definitely got your mojo back. The frog has character, much more important than being technically correct. I like the seed head and the raven too. Cheers
