Moras, Madalenas... Merienda!

The muffins are ok, but the dish and the background... puaj!

I like this early stage of the blackberries drawing


Close to my place there are so many blackberries, every year in september I celebrate with family and friends the blackberries day. We prepare food (tortilla de patatas) and spend the whole day in the forest picking and eating moras. Later I spend a day cooking marmalade for the winter or baking pies. Delicious!

LLuvia






I kind of copied the "rain" lines of the first drawing from Juan Navarro Baldeweg. When I saw them I liked them so much I decided to draw LLuvia for the "LL", but his picture is so beautiful I got stucked on the subject for days... So I'm quite happy I could do something today.

My trip to Cartagena

Lanas y Labores



I started with a nice line drawing which I completely spoiled with watercolor. The good thing is I took a picture before starting with the coloring so now I can print it and see how it looked like. I'm also considering coloring the line drawing in the computer... I'll show you if something nice comes out of it.
Labor (plural labores) is a pillow I'm crocheting for my mother, it's on the top right corner of the drawing. In spanish you call labor anything that's done with the hand: sewing, crocheting, embroidery... but also the work the farmers do with the soil to prepare it for the seeding. In a way I like the association between wool, and earth.
