I saw this book at my friend Jolene's house and knew I had to have it. Combining zentangle like drawings and mandalas, its perfect for me. There is some good instructions on creating patterns, designing mandalas and even a complex labyrinth. I can't wait to try some of the techniques in here.
I needed some river therapy on Monday so I headed out for a walk on the Snake River. If I lived on the coast I'd be on the ocean but since I am not I settled for the river. There is something about water that feeds my soul.
It was very cold out, so I bundled up and enjoyed being out in nature. It was just what I needed.
Yesterday this little guy hit one our windows and was stunned. So I picked him up.
I went into the house for my phone to take a few close up pictures. I could feel his little heart beat away. He was still a little out of it and not scared.
Back outside I tried to put him on a branch. He could cling but then fell over. Then I found a bush to put him under, hoping he'd be safe from cats. He ended up flying away after a little bit of recovery time.
I had to head out to a Dr. appointment. while in the waiting room, I drew the pictures on my phone and created a nice little page. Being an artist is pretty cool when you can record events like this.

ReplyDeleteI love nature journals. <3
We have a window that birds fly into often. It always makes my heart sink when I hear that thud but luckily none of them have died. I'm glad your little guy was okay. Great drawings of the bird.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to be near water. I wish we had water near where we live. I agree that there's nothing like it to soothe your soul.
