the best thing in the world

creating something, working with my hands, just concentrating on this one thing, this piece which slowly develops, never ever thinking how much money it could bring but how much joy to have it finished, to look at it, so much happiness to give it to somebody who likes it, directing my thoughts into work to leave something behind when I am gone

clematis paniculata

beads in the middle

the top of the green is just painted

I think that comes close enough to our native clematis

I have already done all the white and green bits, now I have to finish the centre and finally do the painting. After that its time for doing leaves and vines.

Rose

Finished a rose yesterday evening which looks more like a rose, made me pretty happy :)
