Silks and seeds... PPF

We'd been looking through a box of old photographs during my daughters visit last weekend, when I came across the old photograph below. 

I thought you might like to see it.

It's from my Brunei days, where I was luck enough to be invited to exhibit my silk paintings. 

In fact, it's possibly the only photograph that I have from this particular exhibition.

It's a pity that the photograph is so bad, but it was taken a few years ago. 

In fact, I've just gone into shock because looking at the date on the paintings... it says '1995' which means that it was 21 years ago!

No wonder the photos are so bad!

Not only is it probably the camera that I was using at the time, but it's also probably due to the fact that I've just had this photo among many other's... all loose in a box.

You'd have thought that I'd have placed it lovingly in an album.

To savor the moment, but no. 

I can only think that I was probably preoccupied with my three year old at the time, who was rather challenging to say the least. 

My mind wasn't my own for a good few years back then.

In fact, these few paintings possibly saved my sanity.

But that's a whole other story.

If you can use your imagination here please, because they were actually extremely vibrant colours. 

That's one of the reasons why I loved to paint with silk paints.

This chap was one of my hubby's favourites.

Nee...deep... nee...deep!

Unfortunately, I haven't had much free time this week for being creative.

When I did have some free time, I chose to go out into the garden and plant seeds.

I'm hopeful of great things to come. 

I don't think we'll be self sufficient, not by a long way, but I love to pick our own produce.

What are you up to this week?

I hope it's creative in some way and that it's fun.

As usual I'm joining in with Paint Party Friday
