Week 3
I am keeping up with Daisy Yellow’s prompts and am loving spending a little time each day playing with pencil & paper.
I was watching my son & his friends over the weekend faffing about with so much electronic equipment, ensuring this was charged, that had the latest update and don’t mention the various apps that had to be downloaded. I retreated quietly to my desk and got out some paper, paints and glue and had some time to myself smiling that I knew about pens, paper and crayons, a pencil sharpener and a rubber Hmmm now where are those scissors?…
Here are my days 15 – 21 in a slideshow again.

Oh, I love it – technology vs. paper and scissors! (Of course, playing with technology is fun, too. Hmm, maybe an iPhone art piece a day challenge???)
Love all of these, but my favourites are the gorgeous orange fabric one, and the Monopoly card.
These are just fantastic, Miriam. I love them all, but I think the stitched oranges are my favorite. Oooh and I love the dice. And the hearts. Haha – see? I love them all!
love the contrast of the black and white to the flaming
I just love these posts. My faves this time are the fabric leaves and that card of sticker hearts!
These are so wonderful, Miriam!
I especially love Day 18.
So pretty.
Happy day to you, my friend!
Another wonderful collection Miriam. I am so enjoying your slide shows. The ‘candy wrapper’ made me smile, but the stitched one, as you might expect, is my favourite from this batch.Thank you for sharing your index cards with us x
Miriam, thanks so much for dropping by my blog today and for your lovely comments! I loved your houses but didn’t realize you were also playing along with ICAD, so I went back and looked at all of the wonderful cards you’ve posted to date. I really enjoyed the variety! If I had to pick just one favourite (and I’m glad I don’t) it would be your Harry Potter card – I love how you used the quote to make a card that represents the quote perfectly yet isn’t overtly “Harry Potter” AND you used one of my favourite colour combinations!
Regarding my neighbour with the post-it notes I didn’t add this update but a couple of days after I posted my cards I found another note INSIDE my car (complete with swear-words), so there will be no flowers for her but I will steer clear as I think she may have a real problem! And yes I’m sure that we lose some of our wise-ness to our children over time – haha
Thanks again for your wonderful note and I’m so glad I came back to see more of your beautiful work. That picture of the peacock’s tail is wonderful too!
Lovely to see your Icads (I have a friend doing these too) and you have presented them so beautifully. I adore technology but I appreciate your point about the calmness of paper and paint.
Thanks for your visit to Orange Esmeralda and your very nice comment.
Another gorgeous display … I think number 18 is my favourite. I admire how you make time every day for art …
Pretty and each one so very different than the one before. I especially like the ones for orange and roll the dice.
