Tiny Pretty Things

Lots of tiny pretty things catch my eye.

A little flash of red caught my eye yesterday when I was working on repairs to the horses’ gate.

At the moment I was unable to move the grass aside to see what it was, but as soon as the wires were twisted, I dropped the pliers and took a closer look.

The bright color belonged to a cluster of tiny crimson mushrooms. Of course I didn’t have my camera with me. It was a fence-mending job, not a nature walk.

So back to the house I went for the camera.

This little mushrooms is so tiny,  it’s not much larger than the ants that were crawling around on the ground beside it.

Creating Tiny Pretty Things

Lately I’ve been making polymer clay sculptures and mixed media “Fairy Gardens”.

The cap on this one is colored with powdered cinnamon.

    When I was in France walking the dogs in the forest, we were always on the lookout for edible mushrooms, but there were also lots of inedible, even poisonous beauties.

      Some of the most beautiful ones seem to be the most poisonous, too!
