Monday morning.... got time for a tea?
also from Black-pool....perhaps a slice of this with your tea?

Ecelectica like this item below prevails at this tumblr as well:
 |
| black-pool - click here! |
I track that image of 'pollen of snowdrop' to t. van gieson's photostream and am delighted to find a plethora of interesting sets to explore but go here:
and click on this one:
 |
| Anna Atkins- algae cyanotype |
and go to Wikipedia to read more and use their image!
Then back to Black pool where I notice an image of painter Xenia Hausner's colour palette:
 |
| click here |
and this one.... Cy Tombly's desk:
 |
| click here |
Then I went to this image which I added to my tumblr:
 |
| Seed Capsules |
and this one:
 |
| Seed Capsules |
and by checking in my tumblr archives I remembered this:
 |
| Valerie Hammond |
This took me to the blog - A billion tastes and tunes - where i got to see more fascinating work by Valerie Hammond.

so glad you came by Claire...

what a huge surf you had..
I like the vintage seed examples, ink written with the date..
and this work with hands and flowers and veins... yum.
Hello Grrl....
really amazing those old samples aren't they?
Really did end up surfing for a goodly time yesterday ... hence the finds this morning! I dont know about you... but i cant always tell when inspiration will strike... sometimes there's nothing that flicks the switch ... curious how out of the blue it can be.
I hope you went to the site to see more of this work by Valerie hammond...I can really see you enoying it!
Nice to have you over for a cuppa!

I really love that work by Valerie Hammond. Thanks for introducing me to it.
... I saw the first one of Valerie's the other day and just discovered further work this morning which was a wonderful discovery indeed!
thanks for visiting Carrie,
S
Some wonderful images over on that "of the sea" set on Flickr, and Valerie Hammond's work is intriguingly beautiful! Thanks very much for the introductions… and the cuppa :)
Hello Suzanne,
so pleased you could drop in for a cuppa! Love all things 'of the sea' too! Glad to have chanced finding Valerie's work ... your words 'intriguingly beautiful' are spot on!

Wow Sophie, what a treat. I only wish I had had my cup of tea when I started. I loved seeing Cy Tombly's desk... & the palette of Xenia Hausner... loved it all. Thanks for the tour, I enjoyed every minute of it!
Hi Sally,
Each time I see that mint tea I get a craving... tea just feels right to accompany these images... glad you feel that too!
Really tells quite a bit seeing the palette, desk or space of an artist doesn't it...
Thanks for visiting ...come back for a cuppa soon!
S
wonderful, inspiring, I will be reblogging tons of these images for my own tumblr site. xxo
OH! MY! Thank you Sophie! That was the best feeling I have had ALL day!
Wow, that was one cup of tea? It seems more like 5 or 6 pots to me! It's a visual feast, for sure!
Hello Mary...
if not for tumblr Im sure I would lose things I like ...and the knowledge of where they were found!
See you over at tumblr!

MParadis,
Delighted you could pop in for a refreshing mint tea... do come again!
Thanks for sweet comment!

Hi Sharmon,
Ha!
yes...your right about the pots of tea!... I was blissed out from the discovery of the other work of Valerie. One saves the odd image at tumblr without always doing further exploration... so here it was ... the sum total of the best of tumblr - that is - hooking the good stuff...and the best of blogging ...going deeper...looking further!
Glad you popped by!
S
What a nice Monday treat - tea, cake, and inspiring photos here at your place. Thanks Sophie! xo
a gentle start to the week Janis... fresh and inspired,
Nice to hear from you!
