    Where is this exactly? I have been working on a pink lady slipper. We have them here but only in a nature preserve though we have one that blooms on my property. Here is what I did thus far.

    I love this Sheila, nice composition. I could help you get more definition on the fuzzy part when I see you very very soon in Greece! I think embossing would work well on this!

    After drawing a couple of leaves, I went back to Wendy’s lesson on leaves. She explains all the issues I had and makes it look so easy! So I went ahead drawing the rest of the leaves. Well… it is still very hard. Time to go out and pick up some more leaves and practice.

    This is signage under one of the trees in the downtown. The trunks have large, threatening thorns on them!

    This is the seed pod pulled apart to get some seeds out. This is softer than cotton! I can see why people made pillows out of it!

I’m not finished yet because I want to add leaves ( they’re just coming out) and the new seed pods that are green ( out in July?). Suggestions for now?
