Scribbly Gums Art

This is our art blog because we thought it was about time to put our artwork onto a separate place!! It is where the bush and creativity meet.

There are two other blogs I regularly update which may be of interest to you also ..... Please come and say hi!!

Tattered Inspirations
(Mixed Media Blog)

A Taste of Honey
(ScrapBooking and Info Blog)

Scribbly Gums Art is named after our property 'Scribbly Gums' which is on the Lower Boro Road between Bungendore and Braidwood.

This blog is an ongoing celebration of those things and
will display Phil and my passions - art, painting, sculpture, mosaics, pottery, photography, mixed media and iron.....

Come and enjoy the art ..... and leave a comment - we would love to hear from you!

A few photos from Scribbly Gums

We popped into Scribbly Gums today to do some planting - we planed 10 medium sized trees - red flowering gums, and braclet murtels. Plus a few kangaroo paws, croweas, telopea (warratah) and a ground covering banksia.


It was great fun and nice to have soil that isn't like a rock to dig and plant into!! So after we did a bit of planting we stood back and admired our work.

My kangaroo paw garden - we have lots (and lots - understatement of the year) of wood lying around - so I thought I would make it a feature ..... the kangaroo paws had overgrown their pots so much I had to chop them into pieces - lets hope they make it!! I cannot remember the colour of their flowers at all - but if they are okay out there then I can see that this could become a definite passion (plus I actually like painting them too)

This is the road that goes up to our property gate. On the left all the way along this road is our place - the road is almost one kilometre long.

We are now deciding where to put the sheds so we can spend time out there..... looking forward to some weekends to really know the place. And we saw a scarlet robin today.... silver eyes, choughs and kookaburras. On the way home we think we saw a wallaroo - I took a photo but all you can see is a shape hopping away - so no photo to decide what it actually was.

The wombats have been very busy again and we are finding more burrows. Looks like a wombat paradise.

Cheers
Carol
