My Summer story..

Hello Friends...
It's a beautiful out here in Bangalore...sunny by morning and some light to heavy showers now and then! My garden is a green lush and luckily we still get to hear the birds chirping throughout the day!I love my
morning cuppa in the garden, listening to the different sounds of birds chirping...music to the ears!

My 5yr old daughter, Sakshi too loves to have her morning glass of milk in the garden...listening to these sounds, and we have a lovely conversation around it. She is curious to know what the birds are saying and in the process we make our own birdie dialogues! Every time a bird coo's, she would say" Amma, what is it saying now"... It is a belief that if the Cuckoo bird coo'c then it is a sure sign of rain and invariably there is a slight drizzle at least!
With this inspiration...I have made this mixed media hanging piece, reflecting a bit of my summer story!Have a look...

And...if you are wondering if this is an altered embroidery hoop...NO....save your patience till the end of the story...else scroll down!

Simon says Monday wants us to inspired by the letter"J" and JUTE , it is for me!!! Jute and summer, what a combo...have a visual treat now...

 An aerial view...
 The tree is made using hot glue and colored with acrylics. The cute pink birds in conversation are resin birds using modge melt moulds and then colored. The cute nest and eggs too! The tiny flowers are using CLD shasta daisy(B310) smallest size! Inked with wild honey DI.
There are butterflies using different materials..the green is made of satin fabric and the pink is a resin.
 Another pink butterfly...stamped and colored with bling center!I love this caption from google!The beaded string on the top in summery colors.
 The rugged texture of the jute layered with gesso, colored with acrylics, stenciled with TCW mini textures and the color splat in black!
 My cuckoo birds having been cooing this morning...will it rain today????
The lovely black lace all around looks like some more butterflies hovering around!
 Well, this is my story this summer...What is your's??? Feel free to tell me what's the weather in your part of the globe!

Some of the household scraps used for making this...a piece of jute cloth, the chipboard circle is a cake base and some jute rope!
Thank you so much for stopping by and would love to hear what you have to say about this creation.

Until then,
happy crafting and re cycling.
Hugs.
