Raindrops and circles

Hi you all!

We had another very rainy day here, I think I will soon have webbed feet like the ducks. But this evening the sky is clear, so perhaps the good weather we have been promised will be coming nearer! I still enjoyed walking about in the rain, having the world around me just for me, and enjoying the beauty of the raindrops.

This journal page is not quite finished, as once again I could not do the journaling on it as my fingers are still too shaky for tidy writing. I made it for the circles challenge at AJJ and for the 'circle the globe' challenge at FSC. This piece of shaped cardboard was part of some packaging, so I left it as it was to fit the theme. I sprayed the background, and stamped the sun with my Hein-design block stamp, using pigment ink.  I stamped the squares using the ink-pads directly onto the paper, and then stamped the dragonfly from Lawrence and Morgan over them using archival ink. I coloured the wings with Stickles. The water lilies and irises are also stamps from L and M., coloured with gel-pens. I drew round the edge of the circle using a lid and a fine liner, and drew in a few little circles round the splashes from the spray. The text  will be written round the inside of the circle sooner or later, and is a quote from the Lion King - 

'And so we are all connected in the great circle of life' (Mufasa)

And here are some of the raindrops from today's walk:

I love this view of the Church seen from the tow-path:

All the benches were empty, and not even the ducks showed their little beaks....

Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
