I've been traveling the last month to see family and friends. While staying in Minnesota with my friend Pam we made a bottle tree together. She had been saving blue wine bottles for at least a year and had her husband set a post in cement. We drilled starter holes and pounded in spikes to hold the bottles until we ran out of spikes. It's quite a nice accent of color in her garden and I can't wait to see it when she is finished. She'll have to finish without me, though, since we arrived back home yesterday. I took along my watercolors and a new mixed media book but they came home with me unused. Oh well, I'll be back in the creative swing of things and posting again soon.
