I know we need the rain. But must it come so often and so hard when it does?? Does my area know nothing of a gentle spring shower? Apparently not.
The inchie word was gorilla. There used to be a cartoon when I was growing up called "Magilla Gorilla". I barely remember it, but the name stuck in my brain and the whole time I was drawing this gorilla, I was calling it Magilla.
Joey's letter is W. We are almost through. I need to figure out what to do with the tiles. I might make a poster with them all. I used W2, wud, and wacho. I love the woven look of some tangles like W2, but they are totally a mind consuming exercise for me. I usually end up saying "over and under" aloud while I do it like some sort of mantra. Keeps me focused.
I really wanted a garden this year. I just never got around to putting one together. Maybe next year when I have lots more time. I love plants. However, they are doomed in my hands. I can kill a plastic plant! Seriously! But even so, I keep trying and hoping. This week we planted a lovely hydrangea my friends at school gave me. I really would love to see it flourish. It is this wonderful magenta color and so pretty. I also "splurged" and bought two huge potted tomato plants. One even had some cherry tomatoes already on it. I would love for them to do well. They are on the back deck and right now have succumbed to my anti-green thumb!
Thank you for dropping by and saying hello. I hope you have a wonderful week!
I think 'over and under' when I'm drawing W2 as well! But I always feel so clever when it's done and looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteAs an avid gardener I have found that nutrient deficient soil is usually the reason for unsuccessful gardening. It doesn't take long to improve the soil with a bit of compost, manure and regular watering to attract the worms. :o)
Oh and I will be having a special post for everyone to share photos of their completed alphabet during the week of Z. I hope that you will share your poster of tiles!
DeleteI like what you did inside the W :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love doing W2, I find it restful....inside, outside, inside or sometimes right, left, right, left....I'm very versatile! It does look so pretty when it's done! I too am not good with plants which reminds me I need to water the inside one!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Magilla but never saw him! Yours certainly made me smile though.

Love your Magilla Gorilla! I remember him. Can't wait to see all the alphabet together I bet it will look so cool! I also have killed plastic plants! I dont dare to plant flowers but next year i am hoping to have a garden as well. I have been contemplating doing a flower pot garden. Might be easier for me.
ReplyDeleteYour Magilla Gorilla looks a very pleasant animal, I haven't heard of it but enjoyed meeting up through your inchie...good luck with the tomatoes...Di
ReplyDeleteLovely tile. I also like the Wacho look of your W.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheerful gorilla, love it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful happy gorilla inchie and great artwork
