Oooo, looks awesome. I love the pastels over ink - so vibrant!
Thanks Meg! The ink really helps punch up the color of the pastel pencils. I find them rather weak compared to the real thing.
Lisa, I am blown away by these beautiful pages. Your little masters are so beautiful - real gems.
The strawberry jam is pretty impressive too, having just made 3.5 small jars of Peach Mostarda, I take by hat of to a higher being
I can’t seem to get your blog into my new Blogger links (that tell me when you post). Katherine T did a post about this a little while back. I hope we can fix this because everyone should be enjoying your beautiful blog.
Thanks Robyn! Feedburner isn’t giving me an error message, but I’ve noticed that a Sunday post usually gets sent out Monday. I’ll look for Katherine’s post, and see if I can find/fix the problem.
Peach Mostarda? Is that what we Americans would call Jam?
Thanks Lisa, I’ll try again.
Peach Mostarda is a savory jam best eaten with a tasty Italian cheese.
Robin, you’re so sweet, but I just noticed that the blogs with update information are all hosted on what I’ll call “public servers.” They host lots of blogs for lots of people, like Blogger, TypePad.com, and Wordpress.com.
My blog is part of my website, which is hosted on a “non-public” server. I don’t think that nifty new service showing blog updates works with privately hosted websites.
Thank you so much for trying!
