Antique Delft Tile with Cow


This is an 18th century hand painted Delft Tile from my collection that was converted to a 'dot' image with an app called SnapDot. I'm having fun playing with it. I took the photo with my iPhone and worked on it with my iPad.

The tile is damaged but I love this $2.50 tag sale purchase just the same.

Poppies


I have always loved these flowers that look so much like crepe paper. I like the buds, the blooms, and the seed pods. Poppies are so ethereal. via
