“Jean”

Jean, Jean, Roses are red.

All the leaves have gone green.

And the clouds are so low,

You can touch them and so,

Come out to the meadow, Jean.

Jean, Jean, You're young and alive.

Come out of your half dreamed dream.

And run, if you will, to the top of the hill.

Open your arms, bonnie Jean.

Till the sheep in the valley come home my way.

Till the stars fall around me and find me alone.

When the sun comes a' singin, I'll still be waiting for...

Jean, Jean, Roses are red.

And all of the leaves have gone green.

While the hills are ablaze

With the moon's yellow haze,

Come into my arms, bonnie Jean.

Progress?, Sidetracked and a Giveaway

Here is what has happened so far

I know not a lot

A coat of cold wax medium mixed with turmeric powder

That is one sassy yellow

But it will of course disappear

under many more coats

I did a sample bit of turmeric to see

how it handles the light over time

But I did get sidetracked with some encaustic

And here

these are much bigger

30 x 30cm

or 12 x 12in

And as some of you have pointed out

I have reached the magic 100

Who knew that it would feel so good

So as promised there will be a giveaway

So leave a comment

you do not have to be a follower

I know I follow many more blogs than blogger will allow

and I will draw a winner

Next saturday

and then send off packet of goodies

including some teabags

of course

I had a lovely day today

I had a coffee in town with the lovely

Christina Cairns

I love meeting fellow bloggers

x te

Update: There may be a delay on the giveaway

as I have had to make an emergency trip to Perth

to spend the last few days

with my Mum.

 

I Love Followers

Well I see that recent events have given my follower number a wee boost

So I shall wait till we click over to triple figures and then
