365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

This Is Nuts!
Day 100: I've done over two dozen pages in the "Enchanted Forest" colouring book I was given by a friend, and when I came to this particular page, I expected it to be rather boring when compared to trees and flowers and hidden critters. I was in for a pleasant surprise. As I began the first acorn, I realized that simply filling in the spaces with colour was uninspired, so I decided to try shading. My first attempt was less than stellar, but with each subsequent nut, I felt I was improving. I completed each one individually to avoid repetition. Now I'd have to say that this has been one of my favourite pages, and I still have the leaves to finish!
