A lot of plant-life, it would appear. Here are some painted things made in other Augusts (following on from yesterday's post.) 

August garden ceramics. Made using ceramic ink and some old Crown Lynn cups.

– painted wooden bangles. I loved making these, and I'm remembering I have more plain ones tucked away somewhere waiting to be jazzed up.

– seed packets. I made these to give away to friends- this was when I was doing a lot of gardening and wanting to share the seeds of my super-grow poppies and other rampant plants.

– I got a bit obsessed with paper cuts/collages last August, after reading about Mary Delaney. This is the first one I made.

What are you working on these days?

    I bought some ceramic pens the other day because of your fabulous drawing, have been to the op shop and am ready to go. Love what you had in the house and garden mag.

    Working on a quilt called a Paint Box style. I have hand sewn the piecing and am now machine quilting. It has been so hot here, keeps me busy watering the plants in our little garden.

    The same as you; painting, drawing, making pictures of flowers and plants. Beautifull patterns!

    I like the way you spend your Augusts. I’m working on a piece (writing) about Gravenstein apples and a simple cream colored cotton scarf…
