Scrap Exchange treasures
A place to find what you need
Inspiration hunt.
Art Prescription: The Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC is a warehouse full of everything you can imagine. Art and sewing supplies galore, wood working, leather, old windows, reams of fabric… the list goes on.
It’s a fun place to browse with no agenda. Today I found a set of Chinese porcelain painting bowls!
Lots of other goodies:

Humming birds buzz by
Over red Cardinal blooms
Strength for their travel.
Art Prescription: I went to the NC Botanical Garden to sketch this afternoon. The garden is lush with growth.
Settled on a stand of Cardinal Flowers where the hummingbirds were feeding.

Makes me so happy!

Flowers have the urge
To bloom forth and see the light
And beauty evolves.

Flit, flitter, and dip
Iridescent, glassy wings
The dragon of flies.
Art Prescription: this time of year dragon flies are plentiful. If you sit and watch them they give quite the show of flight tactics. They eat mosquitos!
