Serena Lewis: For the love of spiders
http://artbyserena.blogspot.com/2015/03/for-love-of-spiders.html
My art my illustrated journals my life. Sunday, 8 March 2015. For the love of spiders. And they seem to like me. I think spiders are handy to have around because. They help to keep the bug population down. In some Native American cultures,. A 'Spider' is seen as a symbol of Creativity. No surprise there considering the magnificent webs they weave. BE WARNED NOW - IF YOU HAVE ARACHNOPHOBIA,. THERE ARE 'REAL' SPIDER IMAGES FURTHER DOWN. SO DON'T SCROLL PAST MY SKETCH. If they spotted a spider indoors.

http://artbyserena.blogspot.com/2015/03/sketches-and-new-fountain-pens.html
My art my illustrated journals my life. Sunday, 1 March 2015. Sketches and new fountain pens! Aaron, my baby, reluctantly went on his first ever school camp. The camp was mandatory and it was a case of GO, or don't get graded for Biology. It was only an overnight camp but. I still worried about him nonetheless and we missed him. They weren't allowed to take mobile phones or electronic devices so there was no communication at all. Sitting in the car, awaiting the return of the Biology students from camp,.

My art my illustrated journals my life. Friday, 4 March 2011. She sells seashells by the seashore. For years i used to collect them every time we went to the beach.

Class, i finally gave some of my shells a place in my sketchbook. this week's class was about using line to shade with pen. I sketched all these shells using an ink pen only. Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Love, light and peace.
