Happy Bloomin' Tuesday

I spied these girls on the rocks in our Town Square last week and could not resist snapping the pic. I wondered where 1-9 were!
And this lovely bloom was found on the walk near my office
on the street where I work. HBT!

My next Art Project will be a real challenge.
I am taking a photo of my 19 yr old grandson in his full head of dreadlocks
and transferring it to fabric in layers to make a fabric portrait.
I have instructions to follow and have done this before (4 times) but it's one
of the most difficult challenges I have given myself to date.
I had to let half a year go by before I was ready to set myself up for the frustration
it would cause me again.
It may not be difficult for most, but I am terrible at abstract thinking
and this calls for that. I do better making up my own rules as I go,
but I want this to be right...
Wish me luck.
I have some fun ideas for his dreadlocks too that are not in any book,
just in my head. That will be the easy part I bet.
