Look at this fabulous pear shaped dessert the the chef made - poached pears and plums with cream and ratafia biscuit! - it was delicious!
I have also made a journal page for Rike's 'Fruit and veggies' theme at Art Journal Journey
....the other day a flock of starlings flew into the Rowan tree at the caravan and almost stripped what remaining berries there were!
There were around 40 of them but they started to fly off when they saw me! I have never seen such a flurry of feathers and snatching at food!
The blackbirds will have to look elsewhere, but having had all of my blackcurrants and most of the blackberries, they didn't go short this year!
It is also my AEDM entry for today
Yesterday I made this for AEDM and the Carabelle Studio AT stamp challenge - the topic was sewing
OH you made a wonderful berry page Chris. I like using dots to make the berries. It feels like fall. And your dessert looks quite delicious and also so fancy. Nice. It sounds like you had a super fun day.Enjoy the rest of your week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love your art pages Chris, your pear dessert looks so good too-sounds like a very fun craft day-Hugs Kathy
ReplyDeletelove your berry page! I bet the tree full of birds was a great sight, shame they were camera shy!
ReplyDeleteLovely page and a dessert looks very delicious,
ReplyDeleteWow, your craft day with your friends sounds amazing and that poached pear looks delicious 😁. I'm loving your berry journal page, the way the background has blended with the stamping, birds and berries looks stunning! Wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteToo bad you didn't share this post for T Tuesday. It would be perfect. I may have to poach some pears.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing journal page. The berries really shine. It's a wonderful journal entry for Rike's theme at Art Journal Journey, too. I fell last night and hurt my left arm BADLY. Typing with right hand only, so keeping everything short today.
This dessert with the pear looks very delicious - it fits also to my theme at AJJ :)
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is just wonderful with these stamped berries and the two black birds ready for "hunting" them. It's cool that there is a story behind your created page! Thank you for linking it to my theme!
A great journal page Chris, the blackbirds are definitely eyeing up those berries.
ReplyDeleteYour crafty day sounds good and the food looks delicious.

Wow, I Love Thema page anderen the food! Thank you for joining AJJ again der Chris!
ReplyDeleteGreat berry page and I loved the story of the starlings. I think it's always fun to see a big flock of any kind of bird. :)
ReplyDeleteThat plate is so pretty, and tasty-looking. I love your blackbird and berry art. I expect them to fly back to the berries any minute now, as you describe your starlings doing :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful page Chris, the birds are really eating up all the berries here as well, I hope they leave some for the later winter months.

such an elegant, decadent looking dessert-yum! Love the soft colors of your journal page with the birds silhouette.And seeing so many blackbirds flying at once is quite fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your stamp challenge art!
Your page looks so good; that is a beautiful way to incorporate the theme in a "soft"way! Hugs, Gerrina

I just love the birds eyeing those huge berries - those should keep them going through the cold months! Beautiful background colours too, and I love your tiny sewing "stamp" - delightful. Poached pears... one of the greatest puddings ever!
