Easter eggs on the blooming tree

Easter eggs look wonderful on the blooming apple tree

I will leave them on the tree till autumn or longer

I love those colours

please have a look at the austere fir trees on the other side of the 

narrow valley, I think it is called Köllbachtal. Köllbach is the creek

where trouts are raised.



For the fun workshops Sketchbook Revival I am gathering pics

of cracks in the asphalt - it is the theme of Carla Sonheim.

We have to invent an animal or something else using the lines of the 

cracks - 
At the moment no printer is available - so I can‘t continue

Our daily walk to the castle of Berneck




Well, not the best photo - but isn‘t this beautiful behind the tree!

The workshop: Mixing two water colours

a very shy experiment - but anyway - I can see a running figure

copying an object from different positions, left hand, blind,

with an upright pencil, continuous line - different ways to draw

We get two videos each day for about 10 days - 

The teachers are drawing and talking for about half an hour

We can watch, work at the same time, we need not publish it

There is a facebook group „Sketchbook Revival“ - the administrator

is Karen Abend at sketchbookrevival.com

I am no sketcher at all and I know now that I won’t ever draw any birds

naturalistic drawing is not my choice.

Nearly the happy end of the story

They are dreaming of their future home - 

By the way it is the castle where my great-grandmother grew up - 

I am so hapy to be able to include it in my Stitching-a-Story-Book

I drew just the outlines.

I stitched the front of this old building

standing here in a birchwood with fantasy flowers

on grasland - made of silkpaper

Detail of the round frame of silk

Well, the horse legs are placed a bit awkward - could have been better

I saw it too late.

In the castle garden rapunzel salad started to grow

The happy dreaming couple with their two children
