I've had this Marjolein Bastin book for many, many years. Every few years I get it out and drool over it.
Sometimes I even get out my watercolour paints and 'doodle' from some of the pages.

It takes me back to childhood in Scotland.
One of the favourite activities of my sister and I was to ramble through woods and down country lanes on nature walks - seeing what treasures we could find.
Sycamore pods were a favourite. We called them helicopters. We would throw them up in the air and watch them fall to the ground.

More fun doodling with more traditional folk art styles.
And, of course, more folk art houses.
And tea........
Hope you're having a great day,
cheers

Those houses are too cute. And I love Marjolein Bastin. Her work is so nature-y. I wish I could doodle like you! I remember those "helicopters" as a child. We used to do the same thing! Now, I just complain about them. We have them from the trees from our house in town and they are always growing little trees. The other day I brought some to our country home to plant and something dug them up immediately after I planted them.
