time's flying to the end of school, yet it seems so slow

As the school year comes to an end, teachers utilize a juggling act of keeping things moving and bringing things to an end simultaneously. It's easiest with the first graders, but the fifth graders are getting ready to leave for the middle school and, well it's a challenge even to my love of sharing art !!!
It's also strange that we're having cool spring weather, yet the irises and lupine are blossoming in the front garden (#6). The clematis at the front steps and in garden #1 are open. The pots of pansies are thriving. The pot of purple ones for my friend Barbara looks especially full of blossoms. I'll post some photos tomorrow.

This entry ( dated the 21st) has the spiral stamp for the sun. The dog paws tissue is under two layers of vellum. The top layer has the spiral stamped on the back side and the text on the front. The thin strips are from a postcard for their colors. The pale green is the negative of the barcode stamps.

A spell of vertigo inspired this entry. I used a background stamp of stars and spirals, a larger spiral and the oriole stamp. The text for this is written in and around the stamping.
