Welcome to The Magpie's Nest

As mentioned in my first blog post, I love to experiment with all sort of things!  I made the cake in the photo for a friend.  It's one of the things the pandemic has helped me with.  No commute means more time at home to be creative with all different types of mediums.  I've had fun making masks.  I'm picking up embroidery again for the first time in about 30 years or so.  I grew up in a home that encouraged and nurtured creativity of all sorts.  There are no boundaries or limits.  It's in my soul.

Nature.

Always Nature.

Bare trees, nature's lace.

Snow on tree limbs, nature's highlights.

Autumn kisses the earth with every possible shade of gold, orange, red.

The texture of bark that has to be touched.

The ocean and the sky, artist palettes.

Spring, summer, all the shades of green.

A spider's web.

Dew drops.

Nature.

Always Nature.
