Hi Everyone....we are back from a mini-vacation at our family cottage in Huntsville.....I am submitting this surface design sample to IF & Mixed Media Monday this week for IF the theme is Impatience and I eat my ice cream very fast...no patience to take it slow and I hate melted ice cream.....and for MMM the theme is Green & Blue and that is why I chose these colours for this piece.......I always draw even when I am on vacation and this weekend I was inspired by our traditional stop at the Kawartha Dairy in Huntsville...They have the best ice cream we have ever eaten and it is our family tradition to get a cone when we come to town and also on the way home...this is my cone on the way up to the cottage....chocolate peanut butter with creme brulee in the middle...it was one of the best combos I have ever tried...very tasty!!! I also wanted to post this shot so you can see...inspiration is all around us....this surface design can be anything from wrapping paper to greeting cards to plates to you name it....all for the ice cream lover in all of us.....INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE!
I also wanted to show you another wildlife photo....these past few weeks I have been running into so many cute animals...what a blessing.....this family was so so cute...they had a few more that needed to join up with them...so they waited and watched me as they came together again...once they were all together...about 5 of them...they were gone like lightning....I am glad I captured a bunch of great shots in the meantime....
Well it is great to be back and I have to catch up and visit you all....
Happy Monday!!!
Hugs
Diana

Diana - what a post! Full of wonderful images... I love the ice cream cones you created for IF. I am the same with ice cream - must eat it very fast. The same with sandwiches that might fall apart...
That ice cream cone (the real one) looks amazing - and once again you've made me hungry! ;)
Thank you for the picture of the fawn and its mother - if that isn't the cutest thing ever!
Hugs, Silke
