Classic British Black & Tan



Tans and black, so classic, to me an all season color combination. It reminds me of Burberry plaid, which I do adore. 



Anything English makes me think about my constant companion , my Yorkshire terrier,
KRUMPET



Always British, the classic detective Sherlock Holmes. Of course, I visited this pub when I visited London.
With the last name of Doyle, could I not? Have I mentioned that my Dad was a  real detective?


Checks on floors, checks on walls, 


compliment black tones in my office. The egg shaped wood box originally held to hold tea.


Kitchen Fall design at the homestead includes whites, golds, tan and yes black.


Acorns are dropping in the neighborhood, my trees are about to drop chestnuts

 
Really feeling like Fall now,
enjoy,
Karen

Nature's Inspiration

I am inspired by nature. While on a leisurely walk I discovered a pair of acorn caps that were connected to each other. Instantly I thought about the fact that I was a twin, and stashed them in my pocket. It's portrait now hangs on my living room bookshelves among vintage books...

My medium of choice is a combination of a traditional printed etching and mono print. First I drew the picture, scratched really, onto a steel plate, etched it in acid, inked it with printers ink, put it through a press to transfer the image onto paper. Loved creating it and the results makes me smile - twin Kev and me...

Nextchapter, Etsy artist, represents acorns in these striking earrings, perfect for fall. Thank you Common Ground for all your inspiration and for Inspiration Friday...
