Bluebells

These bluebell woods are near Stonesfield, which is a Cotswold village not far from Woodstock. The light was wonderful when I was there last weekend.







Oil seed rape is in flower several weeks early. It can seem out of place in our landscape or create an impressive impact. This field is near Blenheim.



I have been making some collage cards. Some with vintage fabric and others with coffee dyed scrim and old photographs printed onto silk. The lace was in the box that Cameron sent to me recently. It is so lovely I am finding it hard to use it.









Notebook seventeen has a cover made from vintage Laura Ashley fabric and an appliqued vintage label printed onto cotton. I have used plain paper for the pages.



Wishing you all a peaceful weekend.

Lovely notebook & those cards are oh so pretty.

My grandparents lived in Stonesfield but never went to those woods, I don't think. Must try to take time to go into the woods near here, bluebells are just starting to come out. Beautiful.

Sue, I love the ways that you are using the lace, so beautiful. As always so creative. I know how you feel about using it. I have finally started using more in my felting, but it is still difficult. Hugs

It looks like a fairy tale forest with all the blue bells in flower. I love how you are using the lace, your pieces are lovely and evocative of a slower paced time.

I found your space by random, I clicked on "next blog" and it gave me yours. What wonderful stuff, I am an art quilter from Oregon, USA. I love Somerset Magazine, I painted and melted some Lutrador and Tyvek yesterday. What fun this all is. Love your blog, I'm just a beginning blogger.
