Poppy lady


My entry in Helena's book!

As Helena draws wonderful female creatures and plants, flowers, greens.... I was inspired by her and found I had to make something female and flowery.
Pencil and watercolor.
On the first page I put an envelope where everybody can add treasures. I put some very old stamps from my old stamp collection there. You can use them in your creations.

Helena I hope you like it.

I now post the books to Jennifer. Or maybe I still add some text in it?! :-) I cannot stop!

I absolutely LOVE this entry!!! The captivating red and the soft-and-flowiness of the petals!
Now I'm inspired to make an entry to have something to do with petals too. Can't wait 'til it's my turn to draw in this book!

Niniji I'm very happy to inspire you!!! Hmmm! Maybe I should have made the petals go on some more pages all along the book?! But now I wrapped it up in a decorated envelope for Jenn already so I let you do that : put some red petals along!

It is lovely. Helena's book is a love of red.

can't help not to notice: the blue stamp laying on top of the envelope is one from Taiwan!

p.s.: if it's not too much hassle for those of you who will see this message, may I please have a stamp (a used one will be o.k.) from each of your country in my notebook? One from Australia would be enough (and I think it's still there).
