A DAY OF EXPERIMENTING...I am trying to find an inexpensive way to get a Batik look without using wax...this is my first attempt and I am not satisfied with it as far as Batik goes...but the technique is cheap and easy...will share when I perfect it more...♥ Sandy Maudlin does it so beautifully with tape...and this is even easier...if I get it perfected...:) :)

TREE DOODLING..WATERCOLOR & INK & THE ELEGANT WRITER PEN
TREE DOODLING FOR TEXTURE
This is done in Watercolor & Ink including the Elegant Writer Pen.
I like to doodle while watching TV....I am one of those people who almost never can totally vege out in front of a TV, and just watch TV...my hands need to be busy.
Today, I doodled this while watching a ''Perry Mason'' marathon on the Hallmark channel. It has been a very long time since I watched Perry Mason , but as a teenager and even older I didn't miss it and loved ''detective'' shows!
I was very conscious today as I watched, at how the TV world and our world has changed as far as violence is concerned. Even though Perry solved murders; in the show there was very little blood and guts and violence shown...whereas today a TV show of this genre will show you really mind boggling violence, blood, and horrifying scenes of dead, mutilated bodies. It really has become a violent world if we listen to the news and watch TV.....but there is another way to live in peace within ourselves....and I choose that way. You can have your crime dramas of today...I'll stick to Perry, or maybe Murder She Wrote'' which is the marathon for next weekend, if I need a detective show, or I will not watch at all....:)
Interestingly enough, I listened to an interview of Sonia Sotomayor on 60 Minutes tonight and she said Perry Mason and Nancy Drew books inspired her as a kid to go into the career she chose....I liked them both a lot too...:)
LIA..DANCE RECITAL 2013
Yesterday I attended my granddaughter Lia's Dance Recital. This is her third year and she is really becoming a wonderful dancer...at age six!.... No photos were allowed during the performance as they were filming it. I took these before the performance. This was her Tap costume...and she is very good at tapping. She participated in two dances., and really was excellent in both. It was a large school of dancers...and lasted three hours! ..

GARDEN FRAGRANCE
Just off the patio edge there are three of these white to pale lavender Lilacs blooming profusely this year. The fragrance is marvelous permeating the whole area. They are sharing the space with Miniature Yellow Iris and Daisies....and some Blue/purple Iris that are small this year...needing to be divided. There are Lilies and Daylilies there also...not blooming yet.
