Weekly Challenge #240: Birthday Leaves (or as in Australia, Spring Blossoms - Kurrajong)

The weekend is almost upon us and I have only just finished my tile for this week's challenge.

It's Spring in Australia, so no Autumn leave drawings from me.

I've used my tangle 'Kurrajong' which is another name for the Illawarra Flame Tree.  This tree is in flower now and is scattered throughout the escarpment.  It has bright red flowers. 

I've been busy taking mum to the Physiotherapist after her hip replacement surgery and am continuing on with my drawings for Inktober.

Have a lovely weekend and hope the weather is nice to you all.

Smiles :)

Weekly Challenge #238: "UMT - Tri-bee by Beate Winkler, CZT"

What a fabulous tangle Tri-bee is, I had a lot of fun with this and am definitely doing another.

I've not seen this one before and am so glad it was chosen by the Diva in this month's 'Use my Tangle (UMT)'.

I haven't had a chance to see what other artists have submitted as I've been way too busy in between helping my mother with household chores as she's recently had a hip replacement as well as contributing to 'Inktober' (one ink drawing per day).

Here is my entry, showing before and after shading.
