Here are a few of the pictures of the tulip fields and show gardens from my trip to Washington and Victoria. More to come later!

My favorite variety of the tulips was the Salmon Parrot Tulip. Each one is unique.

This variety is called "Aladdin." Fun tulip!

My FAVORITE tulip; the Salmon Parrot. Incredibly beautiful!
By Sherre

The show garden showed off the tulips with underplantings. This was really pretty.

This tulip is called Fabio. No comment.

Another oddity in a yellow field.
By Sherre

More masses of red and yellow tulips. Truly a spectacular sight!
By Sherre

I liked the tractor in the fields, so took this shot.
By Sherre

I loved how the occasional oddball would show up in a field. It always pays to be unique.

Here is an aerial view of some daffodil and tulip fields. We got to go in our friend's plane to see the tulips, the San Juans, and the sun setting on the Cascades our first night in Washington. What an introduction!

Another ATC. I was going to use the background for a different project, but it didn't work out so I made this instead. I discovered that punchinella sticks well with gel medium. I hadn't tried that before.

More leaves and berries in a different color wave. This Stained Glass technique is explained below. Lots of fun to do!

A pear using the stained Glass technique. These are all ATC-sized; i.e., 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches.
By Sherre

This is a new technique I tried for a swap. It is called the Stained Glass technique. It was developed by Julie Durocher. You color glue black- I did this by adding india ink to an old bottle of Elmer's. Then you can draw a design with pencil and then trace with the glue, or just freehand draw a design with the glue. I mostly just freehand drew with the glue. Then use watercolor paints. I used Lyra Watercolor Crayons and some Twinkling H2O colors. This one is titled "Tulip."

Here is a green collage in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The background was going to be done differently, but it didn't work the way I wanted it to, so the project morphed into this!

These are the pages I did for one of the Women decos in the abab group.. This book was called Women and Words and the originator wanted a vintage feel to the pages.
By Sherre

This was done for a Tuscany puzzle. It has a photo of my grandmother and aunt before they came to America from the Tuscany region of Italy. This photo is approx. from 1912. This piece went to a friend who used to attend my church for years and moved to Georgia. What a surprise when we both ended up in the same puzzle group.
