and we are adding a twist this challenge and it's to change the main focal point and sentiment to a rectangle. Maybe you'll give both a go like the designers for this challenge did. We'd love to see what you make after all, it's like 2 sketches for the price of one.

So here is the DT inspiration

Kelly using Wilson Birds with a rotated sketch

Anne using Wilson Birds with the original Sketch

Kelly using Jefferson Birds with the twist on the shape

Anne using Hummingbird with a rotated sketch

and finally

Anne using Great Horned Owl with the original sketch

We do hope that you feel inspired by the variety of possibilities with Kathies fabulous sketch. We certainly loved playing with it and we do hope that many of you will join in with us.

Happy Sketching

Sketch #150 With A Day For Daisies

Hello  Sweet Sketch Wednesday friends!!!

It's Kathie here, from Auckland New Zealand, back again as your hostess this fortnight.  We're in the middle of Spring here in New Zealand and the weather can be very changeable, one minute it's warm the other it's cold or could be very humid and raining.  

I'm sharing a view today from my kitchen window, it's an amazing view over our pond something I look forward to all year waiting for the flowering Cherry Trees and the Wisteria over our bridge to flower.  It won't be long before all the flowers have gone and there will be a mass of green leaves.  Unfortunately neither of them flower for long enough.



Firstly our winner from the last challenge sponsored by Cute As A Button
is Treebug




 Please email anne_ssw2@aol.co.uk to claim your prize

Our Top 3 in no particular order are

Nelleke
Aunty Sue
Colien
