This is how my house looks when I am left home alone, unsupervised. It could be worse...I haven't caused any trouble, haven't spoken to any strangers, haven't had wild parties. All in all I have been very good. On reflection however it probably wasn't the best idea to just empty the packet of Rainbow Drops straight onto the white board. There were crumbs and sugar everywhere. I had to refrain from eating them until I had painted them...the self control was amazing!
I am enjoying adding to this piece of watercolour painting every now and then. These are only small studies but if I keep going every week or so adding a little more then in no time at all I will have quite a large painting. You will probably notice prints too, prints off my embroidery. I like to do this sometimes, it gives a different perspective looking at embroidery in print form....I am pondering these for a while.

Ooh I'm first. Absolutely lovely paintings. I'm sure you could attach those rainbow drops somewhere. Did you eat them all?
I did eat them all but I only had a small packet. The ones you can see are the whole contents of my 25p packet.
Yummy!
never saw 'rainbow drops' before. it's probably a good thing because i love sweets. love what you choose as inspirations for painting and you do such a great job of capturing the essence.
Looks good enough to eat!
do they still make flakey chocolate. i use to love the ice-cream cone with the flakey stuck in the middle...and smarties. those might be fun to do. can't wait - near 10 day for the ledger class. (maybe a carrot next time - it will be less of a temptation!) cheers
ha ha! now I know what to do with rainbow drops that my son has left in the cupboard for months on end!
Those little watercolour studies are delightful, Karen!
I admire your creativity! Who would think to paint rainbow drops? You...that's who.
You have always great ideas!
I enjoyed seeing the watercolor painting and admired the goodness of the drops and then - and then - I spied the prints. Ummm (you already know what I'm gonna say, don't you)...that's fodder for a book!!!!! Hint, hint.
