Warm September Day

 After an inital cold snap in early September, we have had unseasonably warm temperatures.

So warm that I could sit outside for the whole afternoon and draw.  It was a beautiful day!

I drew some butterflies in pencil, and then got brave and drew some in pen.  Just after that I visited Stephanie's blog, and saw her lovely little book (with no pages) and felt the urge to make one.

And this is what came about.  - Inside view

And outside view.

 

And the next day, I had the urge to make another.  This one decorated with a little original collage.

 

With leaves and bits of paper on the outiside.

 

 

Here they are wrapped up with a piece of fabric that is attached to the covers.

 

 

As I was out for a walk on that beautiful September day, I stopped and collected a few leaves that had blackened sections from the earlier frosty nights.  I added some to the cover of the butterfly book, and the words say.... seasons change
