Tiny leaves and moss - Green color study

A break from books. 


You may have caught on, green is one of my favorite colors.  And despite being the middle of January, it's still a pretty good time to go outside for inspiration.  Yes, even though the yard and lawn look terrible.  Because when it stops raining for a brief moment -- there's still tiny life to be found in wonderful forms, if you bend down and pay attention.


So I plucked a few little pieces and took them in to my silk sample book.


I heard a rumor that spring will come.  But I suspect it might be awhile.  For now, a green experiment is sprouting!  (haha).

  3. Connie-- maybe. ;)

    Bertie-- Thank you! I am not exactly sure what that thing is in the 5th picture, I think it is some kind of lichen. It is tiny! Those little things that look like little green sticks are only the length of my thumbnail.
