Art and Flowers

Hi everyone. I have a busy blog post for you. Today I have a couple of pieces of art along with the rest of my photos from the bridge of flowers. 

So first I have a journal page for  Art Journal Journey. This month's hostess is Jo and her fun challenge is poetry in motion.

I was in a silly mood yesterday when I made this page. I dug out this book of children's poetry that I remember getting when I was probably around 10 years old.

In it is a poem by Lewis Carroll that appeared in his book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Crocodile

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale! 

How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws! 

The background is a piece of watercolor paper that I wiped down some paint brushes on, and then I drew and painted the croc and fish. He doesn't look as frightening as a real crocodile, but I wouldn't want to be those little fish.

And over at Moo Mania its the last few days of the CAT challenge. So I made this silly cat tag.

I just couldn't seem to get the cat face the way I wanted it. I painted over the slanted cat eyes because they looked too evil, and then I made big eyes which looked too goofy and I finally settled with these.

I made my tag background with stamping coloring and using some scraps of a polka dot napkin.

I like this pink, orange and blue combination lately, so I am going to link up to Tag Tuesday, My Favorite Color Combination challenge. 

And finally, I have more photos from my trip last week to the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.  If you want to see the other the links are here: July 30th post and July 31 post.

That's finally it for me today. Hope you're having a great day!
