Colour my world, with creativity

No doubt many of my new blogging friends will wonder some of the name to my blog, Carole's Creative Corner, when it's more about photograpic record of scenes and birds.  It makes me think some, about where my blog started, way back in 2008, to how it has evolved, and where it is now, four years later.   Cardmaking, various paper-crafts featured mostly, alongwith lots of garden/flower photos. 

Often, botanical items featured, like this crocus paper-cutting, where inspiration and pattern had been found inside Claudia Hopf's Paper Cutting Pattern Book.  A brush with watered-down coffee granules, and a little yellow water-coloured petals made for my rendition.

Some became cards for friends,

gumblossoms from my quilling days

...and bottlebrushes too.

  There were the Ginkgo girls from this post

a play with graphics came about in this post from mushroom photos after the rains

some zentangle-inspired art

And now it's getting out and about with my camera, mostly close to home,  and sharing photos with my blogging friends, that creates new posts for me.  Whenever I can find birds especially, and manage to capture them in a photograph is a special treat.

So, not to let my birding friends down while I'd just wanted to drift along down memory-lane for a moment there, I've saved one especially for you too.  Glad you made it this far!
